QUOTE(iibbssee @ Jan 18 2008, 04:06 AM)  Many people have been disappointed with the Zune- Microsoft's attempt at developing an iPod killer media playing machine. I don't know too much about media players, but you would think that if it has wifi capabilities, it should be able to go online. Well, the MS Zune lets you preview other people's music, which you would then have to buy. I guess that the idea has some merit, but come on? I digress.
Does anyone think that the Zune will outsell the ipod this holiday season? Some people seem to think so. With a price tag of $100 in some popular electronics stores for a pre-ordered version of the 2nd generation Zune, who knows that's in store for us this holidays. I would say that it's going to be tough for anyone to beat out the ipod, but ipod is competing against itself and transitioning to the iphone-like technology in their newest ipod touch player.
To try to rival the ipod nano, there's the sportier flash zune, which doesn't have the hard drive like other players, but is very good for music and a small amount of video. ipod killer? What do you guys think? I'm actually going to buy the zune. I like the fact that you can swap/share music , as well as video's. It'll rival the Ipod , Just like The xbox rivalled playstation. But I doubt it'll kill it. Ipod still has massive roots all around the world that will take a long time to pull up. The Zune can't really evolve from what it is now much anyway , A bit like the XboX

Zune Ii, Is This Gonna Be An Ipod Killer?
I just found my zune in the dryer a few days ago. That means that it had been in the washing machine first. :( so do you think I have a chance if I let it dry out? or should I just give up and get somthing else? Please email me Cropper9355@gmail.Com -reply by chris

I prefer the Microsoft Zune over any Ipod. My friend had an 80gb Zune which first off cost a lot less then the 80gb Ipod, anyway, his zune fell out of his pocket and it landed in a pile of snow, after going home and realizing he didnt have his zune we went back to where he was screwing around. Come to find out that his Zune was actually frozen, as in there was a layer of ice covering the whole thing. He took his Zune home and thawed out and it still worked. Recently my same friend upgraded to the 120gb Zune, which i must say looks awesome with its flat black color. The new Zune along with the new version (3.0) is amazing and now the Zune does just as much as peoples Ipods. The new Zune software has games, a clock, and it can now connect to the Zune Marketplace so you can download music. I have a 30gb Zune and thanks to the fact that you can just update i have the same things an Ipod has, except i like mine better I prefer Zune

My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data,
- regaining data, and freezing (25)
This morning I was going to listen to some music, so I got my iPod, turned it on, and it reset (I
hadn't had it plugged in for a while). When I got to the music, it would go through half of a
song, then skip to the next. After doing this a couple times, it would just skip entire songs.
It'd skip six or seven, then do half of one, then skip six or seven more. Later I looked on the
internet for some ideas, so eventually I tried resetting it again, as instructed. This worked for a
little bit, but then it started skipping over songs again. I reset again, and it lost...

Apple Ipod Vs. Microsft Mp3 Player

Well first and foremost, I'll say this: I'm an iPod man. I love iPods, I have two of them in
fact, and I've done a lot of things with them like hacking them to play doom, and some other
cool stuff. 30GB is quite a bit for an mp3 player, let alone the 60GB version. So there's also
room for not only your music, photos, and videos, but your other files, because you can use it as
sort of like a flash drive. So in short, I can't get enough of my iPods. But recently I heard of
Microsoft coming out with their Mp3 player. Even though not many details have bee...
