I really wanted to like the Zune, i really did....but for the life of me I can't and I don't know why MS would put out something as half baked as this....no jokes from Mac lovers please......I really thought this was going to be a viable alternitive to the Ipod and work with all the other PC stuff I have WMP, my walmart tunes etc.....but instead we got a even more closed system and a new interface that won't work with the "other" MS stuff out there! it just doesn't make sense, then to top it off they give a cut of their player to Universal because Universal thinks we are thieves......
2 months ago I would have been first in line, now.....I'll spend the extra money on a new Archos.....stupid microsoft.....man they had a chance, they really did, if they would wise up and add support for the current stuff I had and make it work with the other services as well (except Ipod because let's face it, I stand a better chance of getting paid to vlog than we do of Jobs opening up the Ipod platform to play with others) I would get one then....
