I love the Zune. I'm not some anti-Apple person, but I do feel they are overrated. As an owner of a Zune 120 and an iPod Touch, I love my Zune loads better. Why? For one thing, the Zune software you use to manage your music is more attractive and much easier to use than iTunes. I cannot express how much I hate iTunes. Just getting songs from your computer library into the iTunes library is such a pain in the ass. It has such an awkward way of doing things. The Zune software is easy: you have your collection, which constitutes all the music on your computer, then you have your device, which shows everything actually on your Zune. To get music onto the Zune, you just find it in your collection, right click, and select sync. That's it. The organization of the files is also easier to view and manage, and the aesthetics of the colors and design blow iTunes away. It is a very sophisticated, attractive-looking software that makes iTunes look complicated and ugly.
But what I love most about my Zune is that the music quality is better than the iPod. After listening to the same songs on my iPod and my Zune, I can say the Zune has much better sound quality. My iPod did seem to be able to get louder than the Zune as far as volume, but songs on the Zune sound better overall so the small difference in volume doesn't phase me much. The Zune doesn't have an equalizer, but every song I've listened to on it sounds perfect as is anyway. I can definitely tell the difference between this and the iPod.
The user interface on the device itself is also nice to look at, simply yet attractive, and again, easier to use than iPods. You simply have your music, video, pictures, radio, settings, etc. all listed one under the other. You can also change your Zune's background image to whatever image you like. I synced a ton of nice photos to my Zune, and I can go in and set any one of them to be my background image, so it's fun to mess around with and see what looks cool on it.
The screen also has vibrant, bold colors that really stand out. Album art and pictures are fantastic to look at. It may be my imagination, but I can swear the album art and pictures on my iPod don't have the same resolution and colors as they do on my Zune. The screen is so vibrant and bright, it really looks awesome.
It also has an FM Radio and the ability to transfer songs from one Zune to another, however I don't ever use these features.
One thing the iPod has that the Zune lacks is apps, however, I found most of the apps for the iPod to be gimmicky, flashy crap anyway. Only about half of them were good for anything, the rest were just time wasters like bubble wrap and Zippo lighters. I don't need any of that junk on my music player. I'm not 12.
One GREAT thing about the Zune, however, is it's construction. These things are hard to scratch up. They are made of metal, and the backside is a tough, hard plastic. The iPods scratch SOOOOO easily, I HATED that about them. Their shiny, glossy surface was so susceptible to scratches and other wear and tear, that it was impossible to keep it looking new without having a protective casing on it. My Zune has been dropped a few times and carried around with me everywhere with no protective casing, and it still looks as new as the day I bought it.
Basically, I love the Zune way better than my iPod Touch...the ease of use and the overall better quality do it for me.Get more detail about Zune 120 GB Video MP3 Player (Black).
