The Zune software is actually lovely, which is why I can understand that they didn't integrate it with WMP. WMP is a bit of a joke in comparison with the Zune software. Also, integrating it would have been harder than just starting from scratch, with the SmartDJ, Apps, Marketplace, Live ID integration, it would have been messy and more likely to fail on WMP.liquidat0r wrote:
I wonder why they didn't integrate it to WMP, rather than using this Zune player or w/e it's called. Seems kinda illogical to me ...

Also, I think I'm going to get one of these to replace my 16GB ipod Touch soon. Its just too small and the Zune seems to have more useful features
Hey Zim have you tried to sync videos yet? On previous generations it has always taken a very long time, even when it is already in the proper format. Curious.

Not till they up the storage. I'm not going from an 80 gig to a 32.cowami wrote:

That would probably take a little while if done manually, although I still think it shouldn't take too long.Kmarion wrote:

Well, all zunes are on the same 4.0 software. My second gen takes as long as the first my first gen. The file I linked to takes about 45 min (It's a little over an hour in length). This is also highly dependent upon on the computer you are connected to. I also do it while I'm doing other things ..eg watching a movie.

I keep getting different answers, but can the Zune play iTunes formats? I think a good chunk of my library is .m4a
Looks like it. .. natively

Oh man, installed the Invisible Shiled by Zagg.... It's fucking awesome. Works perfectly. Lifetime warranty.
Installation was perfect, not too hard... Requires a bit of hand coordination and being a bit careful, but other than that, was a breeze.
My Zune now looks the exact same but has a lovely grip feel to the back of it and the screen feels slightly "stickier" but in a nice way. Looks lovely. Now I can throw it around without worrying about it scratching. Fantastic.

Wait, did you ship this from the states or bought in Scotland?
I've always wanted to have one but since its not selled in europe i gave up.
The only chance i got to try one was when an american kid came to our school and he had a Zune.
I did like the graphics interface.

Good news.
and a question about the invisible shield. is it better than the other brands like bodyguardz, ghost armor, etc.? I am going to get one of those, have a regular case too, incipio dermashot or whatever.
I put on a Chuck episode in H.264 format on my Zune HD and it took 28 seconds - 43 minutes in length.Kmarion wrote:

@ aero - Bought it off eBay. Seller was in the UK. Shipped in 2 days. £216.
RTHKI - I can't compare it to anything, but the Invisible Shield is fantastic, works brilliantly and looks great. The other shields may or may not be better... According to many Google posts, it seems that they all have the problem of "orange peel" effect, which basically make the shield look bumpy from certain angles where the light hits the screen... I've tested this with the Zune and there does seem to be some of this effect. It's barely visible, mind you, but it's there. You don't notice it to the touch, and when you're looking at it straight on it's impossible to see. Now, according to certain people, Ghost Armor works better than IS, but there are others who say IS is just as good/bad. You aren't going to get a perfect one, so it's up to you to choose. I personally would go for GA or IS, not bodyguardz... It seems too cheap to be a decent shield (you get 2 for the same price as 1 GA or IS).
I might buy another shield to see what it's like, but I doubt it's much different/better.

That's h.264 (mp4) and it takes a hell of a lot longer. I'm going to start syncing it on my gaming PC ( a lot more power) and see how much it helps.Kmarion wrote:

I sold my iPhone and bought my self a Nokia E71 which i think is a better phone overall, except for the web browser.
Now I need an mp3 player and I really want a Zune. However nobody has one in Italy and I have to buy one from eBay outside of Italy.
