I do both. I still have radio shows n shiz that I add manually. It handles it well. Sometimes I have to plugin some info.. but rarely.Winston_Churchill wrote:

How does Zune software do with recognizing downloaded music? Though I guess you get yours with your Zune pass dont you...
Have you used the HD radio player?cowami wrote:
So far, it seems really nice. The OLED is nice and bright, an equalizer is finally (finally! ) included, and videos look incredibly sexy. Still haven't watched a full-length movie yet (Full Metal Jacket or Hot Fuzz?), but the battery has lasted still near full even through about an hour of use. The only problem is the lack of an actual instruction manual teaching you how to navigate the menus, but once you figure out how to go to the previous menu, it's simple enough. Internets are a wee bit slow, but that's expected with this running off our wireless network and not off a network like the iPhone.
also, not too lefty friendly, but i digress
Ah, the wonders of watching Star Wars Robot Chicken Episode II on the Zune
Pity I have a physics lab to write up.
yes, but here in daytona beach, there's no HD stationsKmarion wrote:

But it is. All the unique features that make the Zune a better purchase than the iPhone don't exist in the EU, and they will never exist. The technology required to develop DAB radio enhancements onto the Zune would cost MS so much, that it would be a bad investment. There is just no point in it coming out here, unless they stripped it and sold it as a music player and took £100 off the price tag, which they will not do.jsnipy wrote:

This doesn't really make any sense when it does everything the itouch does, for cheaper?Zimmer wrote:

I'm just going to go and buy a Samsung YP-P3, it's the only alternative to the iPhone here.
None of this brings the Zune HD any nearer to a European or even a UK launch: just the reverse. We don't have iBiquity HD radio, for a start. Also, in the US, Microsoft sells music downloads via Wi-Fi and offers ZunePass as a subscription music service. We don't have those in Europe either.
It would be somewhat hard to offer a Zune HD-equivalent in Europe, because we don't have a pan-European digital radio network. Microsoft could add DAB for the UK and a few other countries, but UK coverage is patchy and the sound quality is generally worse than FM (particularly the stereo).
Yeah, I know, but put it this way, all those features add value to the Zune. As those features cannot be used in Europe, the selling price just seems way too high, when you can get an awesome Samsung YP-P3 for half the price and 32GB.Kmarion wrote:
A movie subscription service is a key selling point?
Family members aside... I have three other friends with zunes.. none of them have a zune pass.
Understood. BTW I'm one of those crazy ppl who have a Zune Pass (My parents gave me a year subscription at Christmas time). My Mom and my sister have one as well. They aren't very tech savvy so it's sort of a blessing for them.Zimmer wrote:
