have alook at Sandisk Sansa range. im not sure about the size (ive only got a 6gb one, i duno if they do 30gb) but it does pictures, movies, music, voice recordings and also in the us it has a fm radio recorder. Plus there cheaper than the other media players
I have a Zune, and I like it better than my past iPod video. That saying, I like the actual player better. In other words, the Zune software totally ------ing blows. Apple has iTunes down to a science, Microsoft just needs to keep up in that department (I also use a Shuffle for running, so I use iTunes quite a bit, and I'm relatively pleased with it.)
hhmmm ipod is good cuz it pretty much organizes your stuff for you, as to where the zune is all hand done. but the zune has far by better picture quality....idk DRAW
Well I already have an ipod and I dout that I will buy a zune. But then Thats only because I dont need both and I only use it for music. Ipod is fine but I havent heard much on the zune so I cant really say whats better.
Here's my view. I have owned both a 30 gb Ipod video and also a 30 gb Zune. I prefer the Zune over the ipod. With the wifi transfer or not, the Zune is overall better. The battery seemed to hold a longer charge for me, better/ bigger lcd screen. Cool features. When your watching a vid, the button features change, it's pretty intresting. CD Albums show up on every song your on. Software is easy to use. Traditional, push button, not that scroll thing. [This is a preference though] Like said, transfering of music, videos, pictures, to anyone else with a zune up to 30 feet or so. built in radio. I was playing japanese music . All in all, i think Zunes are more durable and a better buy.
iTunes can't even read tags correctly on CD's I rip with itunes, I get duplicate artists all over my ipod, and annoying symbols next to tracks in itunes, or no info at all. worat POS software I have EVER used EVER. takes a couple minutes to start and sometimes crashes on exit. I can use winamp to manage my ipod and have none of those problems, sure the itunes music store is good, but the software needs alot of work.
I prefer I-pod, but then again I haven't ever used a Zune. All in all a Zune looks like it has better features, but I prefer the scroll wheel and I also like that the I-pod isn't some huge block, you can get it in a really tiny size to medium range.
Lol, well, for me, it is just fine. I have made sure I have no duplicates in all my music folders, and I have an E'6400, as compared to your P4
iTunes is ridiculous, seriously. It is like hell, in a media player. Yes I have a p4, but yeah. So... I have an iPod, but choose one not from apple or microsoft, there are a few out there. Archos, Zen, whatever.
you do realise by the time this thread is over theres gonna be like 4 new versions of ipod which pwn zune
I've only used the 6gb Zune but I have a 30GB iPod and I think the iPod is better from what i've seen but Then again it's kinda biased.
and there will be 4 new generations of zune, zen, riva, and various other mp3 players which "pwn" what's currently out there right now. I don't see what's so great about any mp3 player. The iPod for example is a 100$ product which is literally marked up to $300. this thread is basically fanboys arguing about who they prefer to have rip them off.
