anonymo October 6, 2006 Share anonymo Member October 6, 2006 wrong, it takes any audio format except wma wrong again 249 for 30gb? thats expensive? same price as zune i believe ya 20hrs is way to short for HD player and not Flash, actually its very good battery life BTW Maverick, I have the Apple A/V connection kit for the ipod and it has a remote and everything too, sounds great on my stereo. And mine is a 2nd Gen Proven Mp3 player vs something that could be good or bad I love it when someone posts my exact thoughts... I lub my ipizzle...I have it plugged into my Alpine deck in my car which is the only deck that has a direct ipod connection so I can scroll the ipod's menus with the stereo deck. Basically I just leave my ipod in my car all the time unless I'm loading new songs onto it. I would want nothing else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ignore it. Sorry, Z3ro, I know you don't like to hear it, but it's an impediment to communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LaW]Maverick October 6, 2006 Author Share [LaW]Maverick Member October 6, 2006 LOL Ipod lowered their price the day the Zune announced an official release date....looks like they might launch at the same price afterall However, don't be suprised if Microsoft announces a last minute price-break, because MS promised to undercut the Ipod price. This should shape up to be an interesting battle no matter which side you're on Didn't know 'bout the Ipod remote though, definately a cool feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters October 6, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni October 6, 2006 i haven't heard about the zune's battery life. anyone? i do know the current gen ipods are boasting a 24hour battery life. that's insane. insanely cool. and to you itunes haters - a few words: "cover browser view."

Chimmpp October 6, 2006 Share Chimmpp Member October 6, 2006 (edited) Estimated 12 hr battery life for audio, 3.5 hr video That doesnt look too great... compared to the iPod. When they say you can take music off of other peeps Zunes, wouldnt that be like... stealing (cause none of us do that :| ) unless they have a catch, where you would need to pay.

Any music that's not yours you can only play for 3 days or something then you have to decide if you want to buy it or wut not. and the battery life isn't thrilling at all 12 hours of play without wifi.... they should try to get it to 20 Edited October 6, 2006 by EbilDustBunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[LaW]Maverick October 6, 2006 Author Share [LaW]Maverick Member October 6, 2006 Meh, I don't really care 'bout battery life as long as it's at least 8 hrs. The Octavio looks swwet!!! The thing is this, the way I understand it. All the mp3's I currently have on my computer (all obtained legally, of course) which don't have DRM should share just find over wi-fi. If you have a purchased song on your Zune, then people can download that and listen to it up to 3 times in 3 days. If you ask me, that's brilliant. Not only is it a great sales tactic, but it's better than other DRM set-ups where you can't share the songs at all. This way, if you're into buying your mp3's, you can download the song from a friend, see if you like it, and flag it to buy later. Not a bad setup at all. Otherwise you can download it for free, ensured of good quality, listen to it, and if you like it you can still flag it so you remember to download it via some other...uh...legal means when you get home. For someone who constantly forgets what songs I want to get, I love the idea. In any case, you can't do that with an ipod. :-) Also, I'm interested in putting some videos on my player (such as Red Vs. Blue) Short stuff that's funny and could be entertaining in lines or in social situations. With the panoramic view on the bigger screen (Zune) I might not go blind quite as fast.

I HATE iTunes and refuse to download, but I am interested in buying an iPod. I have heard that the only way to transfer music to your iPod is through iTunes. Is this so?

Tristan October 7, 2006 Share Tristan Member October 7, 2006 I like iTunes a lot. It's nice and organized and easy on the eyes. My iPod looks purdy and plays songs nicely. Easy to use, good sound quality and long enough battery life for the regular person. I agree with John and his anti-Zune-WiFi rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stutters October 7, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni October 7, 2006 18,120 songs. 102.44gb. itunes manages just fine. i'm pretty retentive about the file/id3 tagging. i'm also a fan of the itunes library updater, a cool xml program the scans for dupes, etc. i've still never figured out windows media player, and gotta say, not really motivated to. that dumb visualizer plugin gives me random seizures.
