A Review of the Microsoft Zune MP3 Player
April 13th, 2009
For a while now, the Apple ipod has been the dominant product in the digital media player (DMP) market. Understandably so, ipod is a good music player with many great features.
But Microsoft’s introduction of the Zune, the company’s MP3 DMP player, Apple is facing some serious competition. Microsoft released the Zune in late 2006. Since then, the Zune has really taken off.Also, the Zune and the ipod are priced about the same and they both have many similar features. However, there are some things that the Zune has that the ipod does not:
Below are the list of features supported by Zune and not ipod (based on a comparison of a 30GB Zune and a 30GB ipod:
- Landscape video
- Preloaded Audio and video
- Built in FM tuner
- Social networking
- Custom background
In addition, the Zune features file sharing and Wi-Fi (wireless) support. Every Zune will have the ability to wirelessly share and play songs, videos, and pictures with other Zunes. The 30 GB Zune can hold up to 7,500 songs, 100 hours of video, or 25,000 photos. Microsoft will definitely take a big chunk of the MP3 player market form Apple, especially since a lot more people use a PC than a Mac, so that may be a big factor in how well the Zune performs in the marketplace.
I highly recommend the Zune, I have an 80GB and I love it!My 80 GBs have already been maxed out. Recently, Microsoft introduced a 120 GB Zune
Other nifty features include the subscription-based Zune Marketplace, which allows you to access an online database of new music without having to download it first to your computer. This makes Zune the first real portable media device. Also, Zune Marketplace allows users to download as many songs as you want for a flat monthly fee.
