I updated my Zune and I'm really loving it. I believe my zune Social tag is: elliottxW
It'll probably just list that I listen to podcasts and radio.

I wish the Zune had some love in Canada. I bought a Creative Zen Vision:M back in December because they didn't sell Zunes in Canada. They still don't.

It still suits me just fine, but an 80gig Zune would be better since just my ripped CD collection alone exceeds 30 gigs.

I was pondering the $80 brown Zune at Toys R Us on Black Friday.

I'm loving mine. I would check out the Zune software and decide if you like it. Main reasons I went with Zune over Ipod was it had a larger display, and a 15 dollar subscription a month for unlimited access. Plus I have faith in MS, and I like where they take their products. Only thing about the subscription if you don't renew you lose all access to what you downloaded. 80 Dollars is a killer deal also.

Impressive! I don't use lossless codecs only because I don't have compatibility for it on all my audio devices. Yes, I could convert as necessary and I'm an audiophile my nature but it's just easier this way. I rip with lame @ VBR 0. Last time I checked I probably had a little less than 350 CDs.

I'm hoping to get one of these for Christmas myself. My Dell Jukebox is getting a little long in the tooth. The new firmware enables wireless syncing, right?

I know there is a rumor about the 360 getting Divx support in the fall update, is there any similar rumors for the Zune? That would make me ditch my iPod and switch.

My wife bought one of the 30GB units on Woot, and then it basically sat around until the update was released. The first iteration of the software was an abomination, but the update is decent. Not the end-all beat-all, but it certainly has its positive points. There are some issues with the layout of the Zune that really still make us ask what were they thinking. Like putting the shuffle option not somewhere easily accessible in the music play section, but up a menu level and down a couple under settings. Why does the whole system have to be set to either shuffle or not. Why can't we play this playlist randomly with a quick selection and straight up with another?

If the thing supported DivX, then I'd give it a strong A. As it stands right now, I'd rate the whole updated experience a B to B+. It is amazing how fast even 30 gigs gets gobbled up by music, though.

That's just $9 cheaper than Amazon right now, and you'll be wading through a Mass of Humanity to get to it. Having bought into the iPod ecosystem by wiring my car for it and actually rating a lot of my music, it's a hard sell even if I like the idea of the Zune Pass.

And seriously. Brown?

I got the older black version and I love it. I can't ever seem to find anyone that has one to do the local song sharing but it's not somethign that sold me on the player anyway. My ipod broke for no reason a week past warranty so I said screw apple.

I got the 80 gig last night

So far I love it, I just need to figure out how to unlock all my music I had purchased from itunes and I will be set.

So you can get an original Zune and update it with the software/interface stuff from the new revision that just released?

I'm even more tempted now than I was before.

One question though: can I put all my mp3's I already have on it? I read one review where a guy mentioned missing the ability to use his mp3 player as a portable hard drive like he could with the iPod. Can you not just dump mp3 files on to the player?

I looked for an article or something about the new Zune software but my googlefu is weak and I didn't find anything.

Its not drag and drop if thats what your asking

They have all the good game podcast and the best of all! (Gamerswithjobs)
