Ski Mask Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I can understand the desire to backlash against the iPOD. but the zune is a piece of crap. just skim through the reviews online and you'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
why write Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 probably cause the ipod batteries die after 1 year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggity Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I gotta agree with ese here. As far as the battery dying after 1 year, i've had my ipod for atleast 3 years and i dont have any problems with it what so ever. I would suggest going and looking at them in person and comparing, the zune looks alot thicker. If i could go back and do it again, i'd get a nano. I know ipods dont seem big but when your lugging it around all the time, well size does matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some1 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I am going on two years with no Ipod problems whatsoevah... IPODs are better at least they already worked the bugs out yaknawmean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 wasn't it only the first generation ipods that had that problem anyway? i must confess that i still don't own an mp3 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivre Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 i got an ipod and love it, and now the zune's out i wanted it, but you can only share like one song to each person.. that kills the whole point of the thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SameName Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I got a Creative Zen Vision. If you know about comps it might be the best choice. Can play almost any format and has lots of cool options. The screen is HD too. Pretty sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_R_O_N Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 my friend got a zune for x-mas, its pretty fucking sweet, a lot bigger than the ipod, but the quality is nice for the hour i used it at our christmas party lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swif1 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I sold all mine so I technically never had a problem with the battery. :lol: Go to an electronics store and play with both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Since the iPod was introduced I've got one. I've had every generation up to the current Nano. Never had any problems with any of them. I owned the first generation one for almost three years without any problems. Never a battery problem with any of them. Never a glitch. Scratches... well, yeah I've had that. But then again, that's what covers are for. I haven't seen the Zune in person so I haven't had time to get a feel for it. Though all the research I've done online leads me to believe the iPod is a far superior product... still. And when the touch-screen model comes out...

soupBDC Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 No way. I owned the second generation iPod and sixteen months later the battery was fried. Every lithium powered product I've ever owned has done this to me. I sold the iPod on ebay for $60 'as is.' A month later I got a letter from apple saying they've recalled my ipod to replace my battery free of charge. A lot of good that did me. If you plan on buying an iPod, after 12 months sell it. You'll be able to get half your money back which you'll use on the next generation that'll be out then. Lithium batteries in premium products are bullshit so just go with a shuffle. It's your money, but thats my advice. I know too that there's some weird mp3 player called a 'monster' or something, price and specs comperable to the nano, with removable scandiscs and batteries. If you don't have to use iTunes, that may be the ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOLT CUTTERS Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 ZUNE is the way to go.. after that its creative zen.. ipod is overpriced high fashion junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesmyheroin Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 i have the 30gb 5th generation ipod video. it's great, i think apple worked all the bugs out, and i've had nothing but great customer service from apple between my laptop, ipod, whatever. this year for christmas, i got my dad the zune because it has a tuner in it too, and he enjoys the radio. i remember him having some difficulty setting it up, but now he loves it. you're bound to have problems with whatever you buy. just get insurance for 60 dollors or something and you're goilden. nothing that is manufactured in this day and age is flawless.

PUMPKIN ESCOBAR Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 everytime I buy electronics I at bestbuy, I always grab the 2 year exentend warranty, it rocks. I've broken some many cd, mp3 players it aint funny, and they always give me a new one. I just got a iPod shuffle the other day after dropping my iriver.

PUMPKIN ESCOBAR Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 you can share songs bewtween players wireslessy, but they delete themselves after three plays. THREE PLAYS. and 10 seconds counts as a play too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creep3 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Both are about the same. However the ipod has been around for several generations so they may have there shit down a tad more. I say you cant go wrong with either. Personally from playing with both and knowing freinds personal experiences, i will stick with cd's till the bitter end. Ipods are just not made to last very long in my eyes. And the battery issue is another problem. I just rather stick to cd's, plus i actually like owning the cd's for my collection.

boxcarrapist Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 theyre both about the same but zune is not mac compatible(yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Age Demagogue Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 zune looks really cool but think about having to carry that shit around in your back pocket.. not exactly comfortable. i used to have a creative labs zen that was awesome but i think the ipod is easier to use. i have the oldass 20 gig photo ipod and i've never had a problem with it. i even threw it at a wall once and it still works find haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
