Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in iPods & MP3 Players
I bought this for a gift, in replacement of a stolen Ipod. We love the fact that you can put any music on it, and not held to Itunes. I has many other features that make it easy to operate and fun to play with. It is a little heavier than Ipod, but it looks much nicer. Quality of sound and capabilities is great. If there is one thing I can say it a dislike, would be it does not allow you to download saved Itunes, which if you have already bought them, you should own them and now be restricted to downloading them on another system.
I decided to give Zunes a try after my 8th ipod had broken and the fact that this was half the price. I have had this product for about 2 weeks and this is what I have found. Pros: -Much easier to hold than my old ipod video, I guess I have small hands or something because it was extremely hard for me to hold my ipod, I have yet to have this issue with my Zune even though it is larger. -Screen is larger making it easier to read, I showed it to my mother who is in her 50s and she could read the screen perfectly and it displays album artwork beautifully. -Menus are easy to navigate, once you start using the Zune it is easy to navigate your way through the menus to get to your music. Cons: -The actual Zune does not recognize East Asian characters, but the Zune software for the computer. This is an issue because I have a lot of Japanese and Korean music and cannot tell them apart on my Zune because it has boxes instead of the characters and the only thing I can find to solve this is a software crack. -You cannot read the screen with the backlight off, I usually do not like using the backlight on mp3 players because it saves batteries, but on this one it is mandatory to be able to see the screen. The ipod you did not need the backlight on if you had decent lighting. This is a great ipod alternative because of the cost and ease of use. I wouldn't recommended it for someone who has bought a lot of their music via the itunes store because you will not be able to use it unless you burn it all to a CD and reload it.Read full review
When I decided to get a new mp3 player, I wanted to make sure that it last for a long time and large enough to hold all my songs, stories, and videos. For once, I made the right choice. First of all, 30GB is just enough space to hold all my media files plus plenty of room to hold more in the future. Second, the program is easy to use and able to organize my media files for easy access. Third, the games that comes with the player are fun to play. The player is easy to charge, at home or in the car, I listen to it everywhere I go. There are only 2 minor things about this player. First, the headphones, don't use them. They're cheap and quality is not good, but you can a nice set of headphones without spending a fortune. Second, a couple of times my machine that locked up and shut off and I was unable to turn it back on. I'm sure it was something I did to cause it to shut off, like pushing too many buttons at the time, oops. The book does not tell you how to reset the machine. I went on-line and couldn't found out there either. However, when I called the automated customer service number, I had my doubts. But for the first time, an automated call actually helped me. The woman tells you how to reset the machine (hold down the back arrow key and up on the select button together) and the machine will reset. Other than that I love my machine and would recommend it to anyone. I score it 10 out of 10. I have heard stories about the battery problems, but I have had NO problems with the battery. I think anyone that gets this machine will be very happy with their choice. There are also various sizes and colors to choose from to fit your needs.Read full review
I bought this MP3 player for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas. I'm using the unit in advance to see how it works. The player is easy to use and works well with Microsoft Marketplace. The unit is a little big in size but does hold 30 gigs which is more than enough for me let alone a young child. I like the fact that it comes in different colors. I hope it is as dependable as my Zune HD.
This is the best MP3 player I've ever used. It's simply amazing. I love the design on it. This thing is scratch proof! You can strike a key to it and it wont leave a mark! The device itself is just pure silicon goodness. I wouldnt trade it for any other MP3 player. The screen it just beautiful. The color is just amazing, so is the clarity. I just cant stop talking about the design. I got the pink one, but I also love the brown and white one. If it wasnt for the pink one being limited edition, I would have bought the brown one. But I love this one more. Beautiful Microsoft, just awesome. Though I dont like the black one much.. Now, the software...not the best experience ever. But still fairly decent. Not much to complaing about. It could have been better. But I'm sure that it will be with a couple of updates. I love it, I would DEFINATELY reccomend it over the iPod. There are so many things much better than the iPod, and this is the best one out of all of them.Read full review
