The software takes up WAY too much resources. I'm running at around 3.24 GHZ on a Core 2 Duo, and that shit makes my computer slow as shit.

The actual software does cool shit like attempt to fetch album artwork and shit automatically, but because of it's ridiculously sluggish nature, I'm going to have to dock it for that.

Edit: Ok nevermind, I'm an idiot. Apparently, it has the software under "graphic acceleration" mode, and that shit really slows it down. However if you turn it off, it runs a LOT faster than iTunes. I'll screen cap iTunes vs. the Zune setup and show you. Please don't mind my taste in music :P

Did you turn the graphic/video acceleration off? After I turned that off, I didn't have any problems with it after that.

+ More screen estate, especially helpful when watching movies
+ You can actually sync your music to the Zune wirelessly
+ Built in radio
+ Better UI (iPod UI is ridiculously boring, this one lets you upload your own wallpapers), Navigation is way easier than the iPod.
+ Comes with better quality headphones
+ More customization options (They have way more artpieces you can put on the back of your Zune)

Now for the bad (Least the shit I seen so far).

- No flash game support. Sorry can't play Phase, Solitaire or whatever other games you can think of.
- Little to no 3rd Party peripheral support. Hope your stereo has an AUX port.
- Can't use as a portable hard drive (Least not out the box, I heard there is a hack to do such a thing).
- Zune Software is a PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT. I think iTunes is f'n horrible, but Zune's software is so much worse. The most painful part of the Zune is getting your music on there. After that, it's pretty much smooth sailing.


Overall, I'd say it's definitely worth it. In a world where practically EVERYBODY and their mother has an iPod it's always good to follow nonconformity route and get something nobody else has.

Good shit Grahf .... I was thinking of getting an iPod 80g but wanted to know the big differences between it and the Zune ........... but is the Zune software the only thing you can use to put music in there

Same price on the iPod and Zune .... dont know whick one to get
