No one has ever been able to explain the ipod craze to me. I don’t get it. Why would people want to deal with all the proprietary bullshit for a device that doesn’t do anything special? I’ll take a standard USB cable, drag & drop, normal user replaceable batteries, and a lower price thank you. I guess marketing \> ignorant consumers? Am I missing something? :gotme: ---

i have a 2gig ipod nano, a 30 gig ipod video, and a 30 gig creative labs… the ipods are ok, but once the novelty of the “ipod” wears off, its just a DECENT mp3 player. wouldnt call them exceptional at all… plus, i hate itunes. my creative, although about a year old and bigger than the ipods, much easier to use. +10 for drag and drop, and it doesnt check to make sure the songs on the device match the songs on the computer… so you can borrow a friends library. it is possible with the ipod, but its a little more work. never used a zune but from what i have read, they sound pretty pimp! ---

^^ again my answer is still because it uses itunes… itunes is way better for organizing media and syncing up plain and simple. I don’t even have an ipod, I have an RCA, but the fiance has an ipod and i’d rather use itunes than anything else hands down. ---

Price is the same as a 30 gig video Another cool thing about the zune is its all going to be touch screen soon, and the widescreen for movies [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-pod-or-zune/22239.md?page=2)
