ipod or Zune?

Question

Iv been haveing a hard time makeing this choice. I currently have a small RCA Mp3 player, that on a good day holds about 120 songs. Now, My Music is my life, and I really wanna upgrade. The ipod was the obivous choice. But Now that Iv seen the Zune, Im really torn. I mean, it holds the same amount of music, The Screen Is WAY better. And the WiFi shareing looks pretty cool too, and above all, its a bit cheaper than the ipod. Now, Haveing said all of that, I have afew questions

-Can the ipod play Music Vidoes from other sources besides itunes?

-Can The Zune Play Music Vidoes from other sources besides the Zune Store?

-Can the Zune Import songs from itunes, WMP, or any other kind of Music Player Softwear that I have?

-Witch do you think is the better choice?

Thank you all for awnsering my various questions!!!

Answer 1

The screen isn't better on the Zune, just bigger. It has the same resolution as the iPod, however, because that resolution is spread over a larger screen, it's not as nice.

The WiFi feature only allows 3 days or 3 plays, then it's gone, regardless of whether the files are DRM protected or not. This practice could possible violate the terms of Creative Commons licenses.

The Zune can convert your iTunes library to it's own format, although sound quality will suffer during the conversion.

The Zune can play it's own format and mp3's.

The iPod is the better choice. If you want a bigger screen, wait for Apple to update the video iPod.

Answer 2

I've heard some people (on here) lately having trouble with zune. I would go with an ipod (my wife has one, I have an mp3 player) for a year or two and let microsoft get the bugs worked out of the zune.

Answer 3

Yes it basically play any format videos you can get

Because the Zune is microsoft, it's not going to play songs from itunes or apple

I think the ipod is the better choice

Answer 4

Oh! Apple or Microsoft.
