    It's the same concept as tape recording a song, just digital. ;)

    And I don't convert my music anymore because it takes a lot of time...and I still pay for my Zune Pass, so there really isn't a point. :p

    +rep for an excellent article and the work on the battery problem.

    We do need a section for user's reviews.

    Oh yeah, it's so stupid. But that's the way it's always going to be, history truly does repeat itself. :rolleyes:

    Thanks John! :thumb:

    gtfo troll :D. the price i got mine at, it was a steal. The many problems ive had from it, however, were not worth anything. Still, @OP, ive never like Zunes, they're too "locked down" for my liking....

    Locked down? How so?


    Zune user for almost two years now, I haven't found anything wrong with my Zunes or Software.

    eh, no support for certian file formats, and if you do a custom firmware flash, they dont like it... I tried it on an 80 and pretty much bricked it... Good thing it wasnt mine... :p got it working though...

    I guess I don't venture enough with other file formats to run into that particular problem, haha. :p

    Yeahh, I'm not going to ever flash a custom firmware on my Zune!!

    Well at least you got it working, your friend probably would have been really pissed if you really killed it. :duh:

    yeah, she wanted a custom UI. Had to flash it back to factory, told her to deal with it, I lost a bit of sleep over that one :wallbash:

    Personally I like my Zen, its pretty solid, and im sure i can get it supporting divx, if it doesnt already...

    Oh I see. I'm content with the UI. It's not the best I've seen, but it works fine for me.

    I never considered red electronics attractive until I saw this review, now my black ipod classic looks ugly by comparison :waah:

    The thing that sucks about my zen is...

    My damn charger blew up the batter(don't know how) so now I'm gonna either have to return it, or hopefully fix it.

    Although $166.99 isn't too bad for 16GBs and space for more.
