I have never owned an iPod and never will.

I had a creative Zen player a few years ago but once I had my Zune that was a wrap. I loved that device. Now I just drag and drop music onto my Nexus 7 until I get another Zune player.

They don't make the Zune any more. You can buy used, but you won't have any support from Microsoft, plus I don't even think the Zune store is still running.

The Zune store is still running because I still use it to download music and I know about having to buy used. I will be getting a 120 GB one.

I wonder how they still make enough money out of the store considering they stopped Zune production three years ago.

DJ what's so great about the Zune? I'm serious: when I was looking at getting a new player I checked it out but when I saw they didn't make it any more I just forgot about it. What has it over other players can you tell me? I might invest.

Maybe.

Thanks

I was really interested in getting a Zune, but it was never released in UK was it??
I looked at Cowen products as well but i always knew i'd end up with a Sony Walkman...

The bonus features over other players is that it has a wireless feature but the joy of that feature was dependant on others having a zune. You could find other zune users and send them songs.

I also liked that it had a radio tuner so if I was bored with my music collection I would just use that instead.

The benefits of me getting another Zune is different from a new user. I still have a monthly sub to unlimited downloads that I transfer to my device. I also miss being able to sync up my portable plays with lastfm.

The only benefit I could see for a new user would be having a high capacity player but the classic iPod has 40 GB more than Zune's highest capacity of 120.

OK thanks that sort of ends that. My X-Fi has wireless (don't use it), I never listen to the radio and the only sub I have is to Spotify which I can listen to if I want on my Samsung Galaxy S4 but usually prefer to just listen to on my PC.

So nothing there that attracts me. But thanks for the info.

Edit: as per the previous poster, it seems the Zune was not available here? Well that definitely seals it! Guess I'm left with my Creatives...

Edit edit: Incorrect it would seem...
