The best portable player ever.
At first i was a little bit dissapointed, but after get into the software, finding a video converter software, and downloading the latest upgrade (version 3 i guess), the Zune rocks. MP3, Video Files, FM tuner, Pictures. An with the latest version you're able to connect to a wireless network and browse music previews. GAMES,Clock. Theres nothing more i can wish.

Zune Review for Non-Techies
I bought the Zune player mainly for one thing - to store and play music for our church. It does that well. It automatically transfers music from WMA to the Zune program so all of our files are instantly updated. I don't do a lot of downloading music so I can't say much about that. I am not a "techie", I just want to have something of quality that will keep our music and play it back for us - and the Zune does that. Having the FM Radio is a plus (iPod doesn't have that). For those of us who are "non-techies", the Zune player is just as good (probably better) than anything else in the market today.

Awesome - but if you have problems with software, you're screwed
So I have had my zune for a while now, and I really like it, even though I was never able to put videos on it, because they have to be a certain type. I have the software on my computer - and well I had to remove it when my computer was restored because of a virus. Afterwards, I had an updated Zune, but the software was old. Now I can't put any new music on it because Microsoft's "support" page won't help me at all. I tried downloading updates for it but it always fails. It says I don't have a license, when obviously I do, since I bought the product, have a username on zune.net, and the product is registered. Overall, just make sure you never update your Zune, or you never have to delete the software.

Two first gen 30 gigs, one second gen 8 gig...3.0 firmware....looking for a 120gb
Have two first gen 30 gig Zunes (one is mine that I have had since the Zune was first introduced, the other is my daughter's that I got for her two years ago). Excellent players, and with current upgrades....are even that much better. Have never had a problem w/ either of the devices, and they get a complete workout. I use mine to exercise, at work, on the road, plus mounted to my helmet when I offroad/trail ride. Same w/ my daughter's except hers is probably used harder (and she rides offroad/trails too....). Have always kept the software updated on both, and they are getting better with age thanks to the excellent evolution of the firmware!

My wife has a second gen 8gb, and is used just as hard, with the same excellent results.

Having just started to using the video capability of the device, it makes trips a lot more tolerable, as we can download cartoons and educational programs/dvds for our son which he would rather watch and use than watching the dvd player in our suv.

Anyone not sure about the Zune....I was in the same boat when Microsoft first released the 30gb Zune several years ago, and I haven't regretted it since. So much so that I have bought two more, and am currently looking to purchase the new 120 gig version for myself.

Thanks Microsoft for the excellent product!
