Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Brown)

I purchased this when they first went on sale. It was a gift for my wife to use for her music lesson business. What a waste! For the first several days, my wife spent several hours with customer support. The support people were helpful, but most of the fixes have not worked long term. My wife and I are somewhat tech savvy, but this equipment did not and has not performed as expected.It has not worked correctly most of the past couple of years. As a result, my wife rarely is able to use it in her lessons. It has recorded music pieces over each other, but does not replace the previously recorded material. So it mixes the two pieces together. If you search for a piece, generally you will not find the piece unless you remember adjacent music from the original recording that you downloaded. Perhaps some of the problem is with the service the Zune uses to download the music, but this was one expensive TOY. We have not gone over to the Apple side simply because I remember too many times that the Apple equipment is not backward compatible and seemed designed solely to make you buy the next "upgrade" that in reality is a new system that will not use any of the previous products.

I thought I'd try Zune because I didn't feeling wasting money on Ipod...Maybe this line of technology isn't where it needs to be yet...The Zune, and it's associated software has potential, but doesn't live up to expectations. The Zune software/marketplace will drive you crazy with its consistency. Your ability to download and burn music is entirely dependent on the whims of the software at that particular moment...I'm terribly disappointed. Another crappy product care of the corporate Nazis at Microsoft.

Items was an older version and not what we really wanted, didn't find out until opened item.

This is my second Zune 30 gb. I bought 1 for a good friend and both of us like this product. The Zune can hold a lot of music/pictures and videos. I definitely recommend the Zune 30.

my zune arrived just as shown on the page. purchase was so easy and i received it 4 days before the scheduled date.
