This is more so for the software aspect than the hardware. Anyone using the Zune player? I switched over from iTunes a couple months back and I am really enjoying it. The interface is really nice, it has “watch folders”, album look ups, and what I think is one of the best features is their “Now Playing” screen.
It alternates between a few different still pictures of bands (not all bands have them) and displays the title of of the song, the artist, the album, etc.
Also it has a social aspect (requires a Windows Live account) so you can see what your friends are listening to and viceversa. If your interested or have it, you can add me @ ProgRocker87
One thing it lacks is no iPod support, not that it’s surprising it doesn’t but it would be nice. It also needs a better album lookup. Other than that it’s pretty damn slick. I’ve been looking into getting a Zune also. I like the interface, the fonts, the colors, and from what I’ve heard it just trumps the iPod in functionality.
i love my zune HD, the UI is a lot better then the ipod and the software is so much faster than itunes. itunes take about a minuet to load where the zune player loads in seconds, since i got rid of my iphone i have not touched itunes
