Who's Zoomin' Zune? (THE OFFICIAL MICROSOFT ZUNE THREAD)

please remain calm

Ok, it's finally official.

I"m probably the only person here that has one of these and uses it regularly. It's an 80 gig Zune - the red one with the larger screen. Never used any of the wifi, video, radio, sharing, social bullshit or anything. As a basic mp3 player, it's good. The software is pretty bad, the tagging and all that stuff is slow as hell and doesn't work properly. The headphones were bad - the fabric coating on the wire used to rub against your clothes and send a scraping noise into your ears. I got rid of them almost immediately. The machine itself is nice, the screen and the interface is good, and I can't believe it's still working after 3 years. I'd rather have an ipod but this thing just keeps going.

My ratings
Software: Fail
Headphones: Fail
Features: who cares?
Unit: Pretty good

That's a beautiful epitaph

so this lives on in software form only.
you buy (or get given one !) a windows phone and suddenly you have no option to use windows media to x-fer music over onto the phone.
instead you have to install zune.
which after a few settling in issues, i have come to like ..
but still, why the break from windows media, as given i use an old school low spec xp laptop, i would much prefer to use wm as its easy on the memory ..

I think about this thread title at least 3x/week

Surprised this didn't get a revive last year with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Just get you one of these.

this is still otm.

Got myself a Zune today

Why (as opposed to getting a modern DAP)? Nostalgia?

It was at a yard sale, didn’t want to miss out on the zune craze
