Ask me any question regarding my new Zune.

[GEN3RIC]

Still enjoying it, with exception to the fact the software in Vista. 🙁

Hardware is working well, i love the feel of the Zune. Doesnt get fingerprints on it, its very smooth, very sturdy. The buttons are easy to use to navigate and I do not miss the click-wheel interface at all. That was a gimmick..

i just got one and so far i find the software to be a bit tedious but i like it otherwise. i just want to be able to drag and drop in explorer but it's not to be.

Does it really come in Brown color?

 

[seperatist]

oh yeah, it comes in brown. not too bad but i got a black one.

This has already been discussed and confirmed.

Doesn't work with WMP 11 in XP or Vista due to a change in the DRM in WMP 11.

It is supposed to be supported "soon" with WMP11 and (by default) Vista.

Yes, and actually its pretty damn cool. It so feels like a "Web 2.0" style device. You know?

I have never even ripped a CD with the Zune software so I can't really help you on that. That sounds like an autoplay issue...

I wont lie - I got a black 😉 It is actually a black inner-case and the semi-opaque acrylic shell is a dark blue hue.

Rather sexy 🙂

ERRRRR,
Be quiet!
You're making me want one so bad!

 

[GEN3RIC]

Hmph. Get one or I will request negative rep for you.

Maybe that will be my holiday gift for myself 🙂

Just picked one up, cant wait to try it out 🙂

You'll have to let us know what you think of it. I've been pondering the idea myself but it would have to be compatible with WMP (and that's going to take time).

mmm, so i need a converter...

Well, it converts everything I've ran into automatically, with exception to .avi's, for which I use TMPGEnc 3.0 (as instructed by one of the Zune devs). It does awesome batch encoding and its extremely easy to do things fast. Flawless experience for me.
