Microsoft doesn't provide for two(Zune and WMP)of its own apps to be compatible with each other? How could MS miss filling such an obvious requirement?

Sounds like someone who had a little trouble and wants to make a big deal out of almost nothing. This reminds me of the false argument that the iPod won't play music purchased from other sources.

I've not yet seen the Zune, but I can't imagine it being as miserable as this drama queen wants his readers to believe.

I notice on these Zune threads that the usual Windows sheeples (read that sycophants) are strangely absent. Leads one to believe that this latest Microsoft piece of trash is even too much for them to make excuses for.

I'm looking into a Cowon iAudio device, although not for Christmas. They handle a heck of a lot more formats, and they don't tag your music with DRM.

pods...Zunes?...try ZEN...I have had a 5gig for over a year that's just wonderful.


I have dropped it, sat on it, left it in a hot car...and it still functions. I use an adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter that broadcasts the player over the fm radio in my truck..



It's ugly but it works and I'm thinking now of buying a Zen 20 gig.

The computer interface for ZEN is nice also..

I do hope that Microsoft goes along with the RIAA cartel's demands for variable track pricing before the Zune tanks completely. Then, two noxious concepts (paying the RIAA cartel a cut on hardware sales and also variable track pricing) will become ineradicably permeated with the stench of this failure.
