MP3 Players > Microsoft MP3 Players > $100 - $150

Advantages: Crisp screen, durable, price, size, storage, etc.
Disadvantages: no wifi, touch sensitivity is bad.

Zune has been doing great new things with their products every day recently it seems. The screen is quite clear and crisp, the colors are brilliant. I don't like how it's not wifi, and the touch sensitivity is lacking. Though, with the 8 GB of room to play around with, that makes up for a good bit of it. It plays videos, music, and even some games if you can find compatible ones. I also don't like how it automaticly sends songs to you- Sure you can ...
...up out of nowhere! Whenever you do get these songs, they give you the option of rating them, and then buying them online if you actually like the song. I guess the point of the rating system is for them to figure out what you like to listen to so they can send you things you actually like, instead of something at random. All in all, it's a decent little mp4 player, but it has a few downers. ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, decent memory, brilliant screen quality
Disadvantages: not wifi, not touch screen.

This Mp4 player is great, but not brilliant. It looks quite stylish and it is rather neat and durable; the screen is 1.8" and the quality is crystal clear however it lacks touch sensitivity, a vital part of most modern Mp4 players. The capacity is 8GB and therefore can hold a fair amount of music, and some video, however once again this isn't amazing. Like all the new zunes it has touch controls that are very sensitive and work well, however they ...
...sync. wirelessly and even pick up FM-radio. But again it is a bit of a let down as it doesnt possess wifi capability. The Zune may not be the best Mp4 player on the market, however it is worth considering if you only have about $160 to spend, and its worth that amount of money. ... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Deletes music SEE REVIEW

Oh the Zune...What can I say about this heavenly, most awesome MP3 player? I had another major brand of mp3 player but I didn't really like it. This one, I love. The Zune's interface is so simple to use. The first thing that pops up is the menu. You don't have to go searching for any of the features on this baby. Now, let me warn you that it takes forever for the Zune software (that you have to download from the Zune site) to download even on a cable ...
...be to NOT sync your Zune. The reason being is that any music that you specifically have on your computer, if you put in on the Zune and then delete it, if you sync it, the next time you plug it in, it's going to delete it. I went through hours of burning music from cds on my computer only to have it be deleted. Now if you keep all music on your computer, you can sync it. It won't effect you. If you don't sync it, you will have to rip the songs and ... Read review

Advantages: beautiful screen and music quality
Disadvantages: no wifi

This Mp4 player is quite neat and durable, and its screen of 1.8" has stunning quality, brilliant for movies and music artwork/ photos. However it isn't touch screen and its 8GB capicity isn't huge however for the price of $160 is very reasonable. Its touch controls are quite unique and are equally as good as the ipod scroll real and so are a real bonus on the zune. The player is also capable of wireless sync. which means quick clean transfer of ...
...to the XBOX 360, so if you have one this could be the mp4 player for you.It can even pick up FM-radio in brilliant quality. It is not wifi and so cannot surf the internet which is a bit of a shame. The zune is a brilliant shade of red and looks amazing. The specifications aren't bad for the price and it is a very repectable piece of technology. ... Read review

Advantages: Screen size and 30gb.
Disadvantages: Software

I bought this primarily because it has a built in fm tuner. For some reason it seemed really galing to me that other brands had the nerve to make us get an attachment to listen to the radio. That being said here goes the pro's and con's for me. Pros- Attractive- Some find it a bit bulky, but as someone who grew up carrying walkman cassette players or portable cd players, the size is not too much for me. I like the matte texture because it gives ...
...Large Screen- The screen is very nice, I would not want to spend hours and hours watching it, but it is crisp and clear with great color. 30GB- This is plenty of space for me to keep all of my music and then some. I also find it handy for carrying images to show to friends and family members. Headphones- For stock headphones, they are great. They almost never get tangles up on me and they are magnetized so you can stick the buds together. CONS- ... Read review
