Zune: Heavyweight Competition For The i-POD Classic

If your looking for an Mp3 player that can hold a ton of data in my opinion the Zune 30gb or higher is for you. As compared to the iPod Classic and the iPod holds a small lead in reviews, but the experts say the improved Microsoft Zune is the best alternative for those who are looking into not only Mp3 players but also movies.

There are some features with Zune that are up to par and unique to Zune over iPod Classic. Unique to Zune is Wi-Fi, sync in wireless with your PC and your music collection. The 3.2-inch video-capable display is much larger than the screen on the iPod Classic, and yet Zune is about the same size. Included with the Zune is a FM tuner which you're missing on the iPod. Also have you ever had earphones that were uncomfortable and always fell out...not with a Zune as it comes with high quality headphones that sound and feel excellent as compared to iPods earbud type. Also with iPods AAC music format you are pretty much limited mainly to the iTunes music store, great marketing for iPods, as compared to Zunes music supported formats,(AAC) (.mp4, .m4a, .m4b, .mov) - .m4a and .m4b mp3 and a whole slew of movie formats too. Now some consumers say that AAC formatting quality of sound is better but that is up for you to decide and how much of an ear you have to really hear the difference.

In summary it seems to me there is more versatility, if not for some other features, going with a Zune. Please don't get me wrong, iPod's are an excellent choice also when it comes to an MP3 player just not as many features as Zune.

What would be your choice ? Leave a comment below.

Sincerely, J.D.
