iPod or Zune?
 

Okay, I know that there was a thread on this topic about a year ago, but it's referring to older versions of both products. I think.

Anyway, my Creative Zen is now a useless piece of bum, and the store from which I bought it is giving me a credit to replace it. So, after talking to the sales guy, he convinced me that the iPod is a really good choice. However, after browsing, I realized that the Zune is very similar.

Which is the better product? I'm talking about the 120GB version of both players.

I have a 120GB Zune Original and I'm very satisfied with it. The screen is so big and the resolution is great for videos. The cover art shows up vividly and the media player on the computer makes it easy to tag music. It has a radio, clock, (free) games, and it is also wireless, which makes it possible to share music with other Zune users fast and efficiently. Now, you can even purchase music right off the Zune if you're near a wireless internet connection. They also house your photos and you can change your background to anything you want! I had Ayu, Namie, Kumi, my friends, family, even hot male models as my background lol.

Anything but iPod.. I hate that crap.

I prefer iPod, although I'm unsure how long it lasts before the battery goes dead. :/

I <3 my 5th generation 80GB ipod lol...but I wouldn't mind having a Zune.

apparently the new ones are really underrated...I didn't like the first ones...they were awful looking and in the worst colors.

There are definitely things I wish my ipod could do...but I mean, as just a media player...it's fine for me...I like the way I've customized mine as well...and it's never ever failed me. I don't really use it to watch movies so...that's not a problem for me. If I wanted to watch movies I'd buy a PSP or something...not an mp3 player.


I might be getting a new music player though...and I would definitely consider a Zune over the ipod touch...although I still don't really care for the design of the Zune...or the software.

i have a Zune currently... but only temp... my iPod Touch was stolen... i prefer iPod... Zune's customer service sucks...

i had to send my zune in to get fixed and it was 2 months before they told me they were sending me a new one... that took about a month to get... and when i got the new zune it was having the same issue... its like they took the HD out of the old zune and put it in the new zune...

IDK... Apple's customer service for stuff like this is almost no questions asked... quick quality service

after the thing with the zune im not fond of Microsoft anymore

sorry if i went OT lol

My sister has a Zune is very happy with it. The Zune has that large screen that I really envy. I personally don't like the Ipod. Bought one and traded it in for a Zen. Happy with it. Haven't had a problem with it since I got it a couple of years ago.

iPod~

I have an iPod, I've never had a Zune, but I have had problems with my iPod, but my iPod is pink so the pink makes up for the problems. X3

I've actually never had problems with my Zune... but I've heard some stories about that iPod. I just can't get with that scroll function.

I love my zune..

iPod! I bought a 120g Zune and had to return it for a 120g iPod because if I tried to pick a new song once a song ended, it would freeze until I went home and plugged it into my computer >.>

Also, the Zune doesn't support asian characters.

that is another issue lol its a pain to have to go in and edit all the songs to make the names visible on the player and software..

there is a mod for them to make asian characters supported... but its a pain

Yeah, the lack of Asian compatibility is annoying, but they're getting more and more Asian musicians in their market so hopefully things will change! (Ayu's on there too <3)

iPod:yes
I love mine

LOL! You're like me. Anything that is pink is a-okay!



Also, I don't mind that Zune doesn't support Asian characters:P I just don't want it do break. I do like that you can customize the Zune's wallpaper. I think that I'm going to go with the Zune :yes Thank you for your opinions, guys. You can still give them, though. I probably won't be buying it for a week.

lol the iPod Touch is actually more customizable than the zune... themes... wallpaper... and icons

^But it costs more for less space. I'm referring to the iPod Classic.

the thing with the zune is that, yeah, you can share songs with other zune users, but how many of your friends have a zune? none of my friends have them, i actually dont personally know anyone that has one. so for me to get a zune, one of the "cool" features wouldn't even be of use to me.

Originally I never knew which one to buy either, but I got a free ipod touch with my macbook and it's great. It get's a bit wacky sometimes, but nothing that doesn't take a minute to clear up by itsef. and i'm not complaining, it was free haha. But i really want the new ipod shuffle...

I always have my music on shuffle anyway :P and it's so small xD

But yeah, i don't really like the zune software either. Plus, going to a mac store is so much nicer than going to a non-mac store (microsoft) xDDDD
