Zune is just a microsoft ipod.  same propriety software and forced formats apply, just a different company.

Creative Zen would be better if you're not into all that shit.  more versatile.

I'm going to get a Nano.  because I own a mac, and I already use itunes and have my video ipod ready.

Is anyone here old enough to say "45 player on a cart!"

I'll see your 45 player and raise you a 1921 Victrola (needs a lot of work) with a 78 of some guy singing "Can't Help Loving That Man Of Mine".

I think I will!

What format are your songs in now? They're not mp3?

Post by: Wickedly Yours E on Sep 20, 2007, 08:21:05 AM
It all takes MP3 and MP4 from what I've read. I've got all WMA and MP3's personally.
Title: Re: The Zune.
Post by: B E C K on Sep 20, 2007, 09:32:36 AM
You could burn the wma's onto a disc and rerip as MP3s.  Or if you have the original discs, rerip them as MP3s.

OH. IT'S GETTING RETURNED. I may just fucking pony up the extra $50 for a god damn Ipod at this rate. Seriously. This kind of bullshit is outrageous for a GOD DAMN MP3 PLAYER.
Here's HOW AN MP3 PLAYER SHOULD WORK:
1st Step: I buy it.
2nd Step: I plug it into a Computer.
3rd Step: Maybe a five minute software installation.
4th Step: Put my music on it.
5th Step: Put a few pics on it.
6th Step: HAVE AT IT.

NOT SCOURING GOD DAMN WEBSITES FOR SOFTWARE UPGRADES FOR MY FUCKING OPERATING SYSTEM SO I CAN JUST OPEN THE DAMN THING FOR SIX BLOODY HOURS. SIX FUCKING HOURS OF THIS SHIT.

Someone I talked to about this said that it is "S'all life." I replied thusly:

NO THIS ZUNE IS NOT A "NATURE OF LIFE" THING. THIS is the nature of "PURE UNADULTERATED EVIL", This is the nature of "NEEDLESSLY COMPLICATED AND MINDBOGGLINGLY STUPID". THIS THING IS LIKE AN IRON CHINESE FINGER TRAP OF HELL. There is no "LIFE" IN THIS. THERE IS UNLIFE. UNDEATH. SOMETHING INBETWEEN THE BOUNDARIES OF LIFE AND DEATH. When they say that god is forgiving, HE NEVER MEANT THIS THING, FOR EVEN GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE THE BASTARDS THAT MADE THIS. HE will rain down such horrors and misery apon their lives that Sodom and Gorrea(sp?) WILL SEEM LIKE A SIMPLE PAT ON THE WRIST!! THE DEVIL Would AVERT HIS eyes to the UNHOLINESS that is the ZUNE SOFTWARE, and its HARDWARE would burn his very flesh at the atrocity that is its existance!!!

I'm understating my opinion of the Zune.

BJs Wholesalers are dumping their old stock of iPod Nanos for 120 bucks. If you're a BJs member or know someone who is, it's a rather good deal.

All this talk of auto repair blow jobs and the hitting of fridges is slightly disturbing, but also a little arousing.
