Zune 8 GB Digital Media Player (Red)

Well, the Zune didn't work when I got it, so I had to make an emergency run to Walmart the night before the 13 year old's birthday and ended up spending more that I intended for an Ipod Nano. Because, well, you know, 13 is a pretty big birthday event. Then having to spend the money on the Ipod threw my budget off kilter, and OF COURSE, I had to wait for the refund from Tiger Direct, but I must admit, the return/refund process was the best part of this transaction -- it was pretty seamless and I had my money back as fast as possible.

I bought this Zune and had battery problems from day 1. After trying everything they recommended over about a 2 month period (cycling battery, etc.) I gave up and sent it in for service. They sent me back a different replacement model. So I called them to explain this and they said they were out of stock on the 8gb version and that's why they gave me the bigger one. I want the small one for working out - I have a full size iPod already. So, they basically offered me a free month on the Zune site for my inconvenience. WTF.

Bad product and bad service. Get an iPod.

I dropped my Ipod and picked up a Zune to replace it because it was half the price. Even at half the price this product is grossly over priced. Unless you enjoy cumbersome music management and if you have a MAC with Itunes good luck with that, I won't even go into all the hoops I jumped thur to get the zune to work. Listen do yourself a favor..if you can afford Ipod or Itouch just do it make life simple. Oh and it sounds tinny

Good luck

I like the simplicity of the Zune, but this is the second none HD zune that has up and died. This one didn't even last a day, the other one died after a few months. I just bought a Zune HD and so far, so good-I pray I am not making a mistake by staying with Zune and not switching to I-pod. I would stay away from the older Zunes and go with the new HD model, it offers much more for your money and sounds a lot better.

my son enjoys the zune and if he had any complaints he would have told me
