Music Management in iTunes is terrible. You really have to hunt for music in your hard disk to figure out where the hell iTunes hides it. And there are lot of MP3s from different sources which iTunes refuses to upload to my iPOD. Seriously I had it enough. Then my friend risked it and bought a Zune. Saw how it worked with it quirks and waited until Zune 2.5 then jumped shipped and happy eversince. I subscribe to Zune Pass and get 10 free tracks of my choosing to keep plus any music I buy from Amazon, Zune ecosystem handles it without a frown.

Seriously, Apple was really good for a long time, but now Zune kicks ass….

I hate visualizers because they always look so dated (iTunes, WMP11, Winamp…) so the mixview-like album art nowplaying screen is nice. I love the look, feel, usability and feature list in Zune. iTunes is SO SLOW in windows so i'm loving this transition from WMP11 (yea, it was painful…). And for the post above me, no visualizer i've ever seen is any more than 8-bit looking ;)

I have a 1 gig vid card and the "premium graphics" are as lame as 8 bit computing!

It's clean, extremely easy to use, and always runs smoothly, without hogging resources. Note to the reviewer – It is possible to make a favourites autoplaylist by selecting anything with a heart, I've used this to great effect. I recommend a Zune to anyone.

To comply with the law, and with Microsoft's leasing policy, you can now replace Microsoft OS with the free (download from the net) Ubuntu OS, which can be set to erase the hard drive of all traces of the illegal to give away Microsoft system, before donation! Now, explain to your lucky recipient that all the manuals they will ever need are available for free on the internet! Just ask for them in Google! OpenOffice, which is installed already is plenty adequate for homework assignments and with a little exploring, everything else can work well too! Happy commuting!

I don't know about this version of the zune software; but unless it is drastically different than the one I was using a while ago (maybe 2.5) then I wouldn't recommend it to anyone…… under any circumstances…….at all……. ever. I could post a point by point analysis of why the zune software is inferior to even itunes but it would bring up suppressed memories of zune software which would result in said analysis ending in nothing but curse words. I had nothing against microsoft before this, but the zune software makes me feel as if the zune device was rushed to the market just so bill gates could rake in some ipod cash, and the software to go with it was just an afterthought.

To tell the truth their is a sad layer of dust forming on my ipod. This review sums up most of the software so I give it a thumbs up. To bad it dosent work for mac though.
