Rating: - Super product
Quick and simple - the Zune 8 GB player is amazing and trouble-free. I understand there were rough spots with the earlier software etc but Zune 3.0 is clean, easy to fire up and has a wonderful interface. My son bought this with collected holiday money (lucky guy) and couldn't be more pleased. I'm jealous of course - he (13 yr old) figured out the software quickly and is delighted with all the features. (While I sit over at my computer trying to get media to sync correctly with my other-brand player...)
My son made his own choice after comparing with the Nano 8 GB and the similar Sansa and Sony products, and I think he made the right call. Music & video quality are wonderful and all the on-screen tools easy to manage. Battery life seems very good. I would recommend getting a hard shell/case for the device just as with all these smaller players.
Rating: - Love it!
I bought it for my daughter and she loves it. We have had any problems with it.
Rating: - like it better than ipod nano
My step daughter asked for an ipod nano. I got this because it also offers wireless connectivity as well as the lower price. She came home from school and said she wowed her freinds who had ipods. The only this I don't like is the lack of a wall charger. It's definitly the ipods superior. ipod doesn't offer build in wireless unless you buy the ipod touch. My step daughter likes sharing pics without needing to connect.
Rating: - Excellent MP3 player for the money
If you're looking for an awesome MP3 player at a reasonable price, this is a top notch product. All the controls are smooth and fluid, sleek lightweight design. A+++++.
