What's great about it:?It's a music player What's not so great:?Pretty much everything else "Microsoft's attempt at an iPod killer here was rather poor... there's just not much to say about the Zune. It plays music and has a radio tuner. from Bestbuy.com In most cases its fast and quick for its primary purpose of audio and video. Music heard through included headphone is better than previous 30gb version. Zune software has great organization within marketplace with several media items available. This product has satisfied me enough that I'm anxious to see what zune 3 has to offer. from Buy.com While no I-Pod killer, the Zune is decent MP3 and video player. The GUI for the player is intuitive and easy to get around. from Amazon.com I love my Zune it's great, I have had it for 2 years and I only just started having problems with it. I am a bit rough with the hold button so it doesn't work anymore. from Amazon.com I had wanted a mp3 player for a while before buying my Zune. It seemed like everyone I knew had an iPod and I was kinda hoping to do something different, plus I really didn't care for itunes either. from Amazon.com I bought a Zune for myself a year ago for my birthday. I was hoping it would be a product I could grow into over the next few years, but it in fact only looks nice and is really very poorly made and glitchy. from Amazon.com Zune will not warranty the player if the screen is cracked no matter what. My screen was cracked because of a malfunction in the battery and Zune reps said we would have to pay $79.99 for a replacement. from Amazon.com For a premium price, of course. Like everything else Apple sells. When I heard about the Zune, I was excited. I saw this as the OPPORTUNITY for MS to once again demonstrate what was possible with technology, and take the MP3 market to the next level. from Amazon.com The Zune is pretty easy to use and navigate through. The major disappointing thing i had was that the battery life was TERRIBLE! from Amazon.com So the quality is good - what's wrong with it? Software. You can only use the Zune proprietary software with the Zune device. That software is inferior to ITunes and Media Player. from Amazon.com
