from www.amazon.com
of a $15 a month subscription to the zune store, i am able to eat up anything i have wanted so far in an excellent enviroment, meaning the zune software is so much better than itunes on a pc.
from www.amazon.com
it also displays very cool artist info while songs are playing, not unlike what the zune software does on your computer while music is playing away.
from www.amazon.com
somehow, possibly with a force of magic, when you sync your music with the zune software, it connects all this metadata to each artist.
from www.amazon.com
last but not least, to go along with the amazing device, the zune software has been updated and in my opinion is the most well designed, and beautiful piece of media software ever.

from www.amazon.com
you do not have to use some weird 3rd party drm crap software like itunes or windows media crap (like you do with ipod's or irivers) just drag, drop & go!
from www.amazon.com
it does not require any third party software.
from www.amazon.com
i decided against the creative products upon reading that their music-loading software is difficult to use.
from www.amazon.com
and for its compact size, the storage capacity is impressive, especially if you download some free software to convert mp3s to ogg vorbis, and utilize the clip's ogg functionality.

from www.amazon.com
it's obviously a great mp3 player but i don't like being locked into the itunes software which is 'too' easy to use, meaning it requires you to do things apple's way.

Sony NWZ-E438F 8 GB Player

$104.00 Est. at Amazon

from MWG from Huntingt, www.circuitcity.com
it also was extremely difficult to take out songs or organize it, as the software that came with it would not work w/o media player 11.
from NP from Los Angeles, www.circuitcity.com
but the software that is sent with it does not allow you to rip videos and you have to buy the software to be able to do this and use it as a video player.
from daninet from NC, www.circuitcity.com
i also love that the walman manager software works seamlessly with wmp and its 'drag 'n drop' system makes it abreeze to add or delete items without having to do a full sync.
from www.amazon.com
the enclosed software makes it easy to delete songs or whole artist files, and the unit sync's up very well with the windows media player to add music or video files.
from www.amazon.com
i did not need to install any software since i was already running the required windows media player revision.

Apple iPod classic 6th Generation Silver 120 GB

$215.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it just erase everything, good product but definately need to work on the software itunes, the zune isnt any different on the software side either and i think its worst if my memory serves me!
from www.amazon.com
however, it was weeks before i could use it due to the convoluted way apple provides software to sync music from a pc into the ipod.
from www.amazon.com
while it can pay videos and some game software, this unit is designed to play music.
from www.amazon.com
loading music to it was very simple with the software, well it actually done it by itself.
from www.amazon.com
i don't believe that this is a hardware issue, i believe it is a software issue that either apple doesn't care too much about or can't figure out.
