10.11.10 | Zune because Steve Jobs is a schmuck and I will do anything to stay away from itunes. I've had the same zune for 5 years too- never got more than a few years out of an ipod. |

10.11.10 | They're both pretty good. I prefer iPod however. |
LepreCon
10.11.10 | If you're American then any will do, though iPod is probably you're best bet. iPods here in Europe have had their volume limits cut down dramatically, which is kinda gay even though it's probably saving my hearing lol |

iPods are pieces of junk for the most part; get a Zune or Creative. |

how you can even survive the max volume for more than a few seconds idk |

10.11.10 | I've had the first generation Ipod since it came out. Maybe all of you people complaining about the Ipod not lasting as long should maybe, um, take care of it? |

10.11.10 | iPod. lol |

10.11.10 | Zune, mainly because of capacity |
pmmets07
10.11.10 | ipod. get an ipod classic. i've had mine since 8th or 9th grade (4 years) |
wyankeif1337
10.11.10 | Zune because of capacity, the fuck? The most a Zune holds is 120: the ipod can hold 160.
Get an ipod. |

10.11.10 | I'll end your life if you get a Zune |
Gyromania
10.11.10 | "Zune because of capacity, the fuck? The most a Zune holds is 120: the ipod can hold 160.
Get an ipod."
The closest in similarity to Zune is the Ipod touch, and it doesn't hold much at all... I mean, if you want one of those older ones, then sure, Ipod is preferable, but if you want all the cool new functions, etc., get a Zune. |
ARuinedEmpire
10.11.10 | @Acorn I have an ipod, but my friends are trying to convince me to get a zune. So you don't have to end my life just yet. |

Gyromania
10.11.10 | wtf is Archos |
Foxhound
10.11.10 | neither cause i still buy cds. |

10.11.10 | My friend has a Zune, it's pretty cool. But I prefer the simplicity and universal-ness of the Ipod. |
Emim
10.11.10 | "neither cause i still buy cds."
wut. |

10.11.10 | lol |
BigHans
10.11.10 | Ipod is better, and Ive worked for Microsoft.
That said, the Zune pass is a pretty sweet deal. 15 bucks a month for unlimited listening.
My main gripe with Apple is they are fucking Nazis with Digital Rights protection. |
Emim
10.11.10 | I'm just trying to wrap my head around that statement because I too buy a lot of cds, but I have the magical ability to rip them to my computer. |
Gyromania
10.11.10 | I only buy albums that I REALLY like, just so I can support the artist and own a physical copy, but I rarely find myself playing them, unless I'm in the car. I'm a vinyl man. |
Emim
10.11.10 | Yeah, I listen to a lot of cds in my car. Mp3s are much more convenient most everywhere else.
I'd love to get some vinyls though. |
bloc
10.11.10 | I'm the same, I only buy albums that I really can enjoy for years to come but I don't actually listen to them. I rip them on my pc and then it just goes on my ipod. I am more of a collector I guess. |
Emim
10.11.10 | Creepy... |
bloc
10.11.10 | I like looking through the booklets...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA |
Gyromania
10.11.10 | Once I get a job, I'll be purchasing more Vinyls, because as it stands I'm limited to listening to two albums =[ They're both pretty awesome though, so. |
Emim
10.11.10 | I agree with all three of the last comments. |
Gyromania
10.11.10 | You agree that the two albums I have for vinyl are awesome? |
GorgonzolaCheese1
10.11.10 | If you buy a zune, you have a vagina. |

10.11.10 | "You agree that the two albums I have for vinyl are awesome?"
More that once I have a job I will be getting some. |
Emim
10.11.10 | It is fairly stupid to argue about two things that do the same job with basically the same results. |
Yeahtoast
10.11.10 | Neither |
Strider
10.11.10 | "how you can even survive the max volume for more than a few seconds idk"
I jailbreaked my Ipod, and cut off the volume limit, plus I raised the volume of all my songs on I-tunes, and I listen to a lot of the at full volume. |
DeafMetal
10.11.10 | Black metal because it's trver. |

10.11.10 | iPod, nice profile pic of Evan Royster, down year for him though. |

10.11.10 | Itunes > Zune software

Itunes + Zune = cum |

10.11.10 | Ipod.
The max volume is monstrous. |

10.11.10 | what is this Fuze that you speak of |
Jesuslaves
10.11.10 | Sansa Fuze. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sansa_Fuze |
Jesuslaves
10.11.10 | It's pretty cheap. Problem is that max volume can be an issue (for me at least). |
JWT155

Stupid question but, what's this? Not that I'm nervous or anything... |
bailar14
10.11.10 | looks pretty cool. seem like a good deal too. only problem is that 8 gigs isnt enough for me on the go. |
Gorification
10.11.10 | ipod, i like the whole setup better. |
Jesuslaves
10.11.10 | I don't think that's up-to-date, I've definitely seen >8G ones lying around.
Even then, you can buy a memory chip for it. |
bailar14
10.11.10 | yeah i found some 16 gig ones nvm. but i had a 30 gig zune for about 5 years and it worked great the whole 5 years until recently, so i figure it was time to get a new mp3 player anyways. |
ConsiderPhlebas
10.11.10 | Ipods are indestructable. I kicked mine down three flights of concrete steps and it didn't even stop playing the song. |
foreverendeared
10.11.10 | "Stupid question but, what's this? Not that I'm nervous or anything..."
you know how you can't take music OFF your iPod. well, it's that basically. I'm sure there are also a lot more restrictions, but yeah |
foreverendeared
10.11.10 | "It's pretty cheap. Problem is that max volume can be an issue (for me at least)."
yeah that does look pretty cheap, but it hardly holds any music. I need a minimum of 80GB |
TheStefan
10.11.10 | for a music listener, i would go with zune because of the capacity issue, but if you are a teenage girl who loves apps, definitely an ipod touch. that was probably the worst 200 dollars i ever spent. cant wait until i save enough up for a zune |
foreverendeared
10.11.10 | "for a music listener, i would go with zune because of the capacity issue"
why do people keep saying this? iPod's top of the line holds more than Zune's! |
ConsiderPhlebas
10.11.10 | Ok, thought they might be able to detect the illegally obtained stuff that some shady character keeps putting in my itunes library without my knowledge. |
foreverendeared
10.11.10 | lol no but that's a scary thought that they might do that in the future |
ConsiderPhlebas
10.11.10 | They'd need to make a lot more prisons |

10.12.10 | "for a music listener, i would go with zune because of the capacity issue"
your computer must suck then |
TheStefan
10.12.10 | no my ipod only has 8 gigs and it was $200. a zune has 120gb for $200 therefore it has a greater space to money ratio |
TheBloodTypo
10.12.10 | I like Zune more. The software is amazing, the devices rarely mess up, and when they do, I just sent mine back (after it got dumped in water) and they sent me a new one for free.
Bada-bing. |
Dryden
10.12.10 | "8 gigs and it was $200"
holy rip off |
Torii
10.12.10 | Ipod..... meh |
dinomania
10.12.10 | I personally think the sound quality is better on the zune and that to me is all that really matters.
Also- forget this touch screen stuff. I want to be able to throw a case on the thing and use it in
the rain, winter, or just be able to reach in my pocket/bag and change a song, turn it up, pause it,
whatever without looking at the thing. I have been waiting for my Zune 30 to die so I can get the
Zune 120 but its still working like a charm.... won't be getting any of the HD/touch stuff when the
day comes because I only use it for music |
ANewTypeOfPunk
10.12.10 | iPod, cause the rest are NOT COOL ;) |
TheBloodTypo
10.12.10 | The Zune 120 is magical. I've had one for over a year. Don't spring for the HD, though. The only real difference is a touch screen and crisper visuals, but if you just use it for music, it's not worth $100+ bucks.
My only complaint is the lack of Equalizer, but the quality is overall better.

10.12.10 | "no my ipod only has 8 gigs and it was $200. a zune has 120gb for $200 therefore it has a greater space to money ratio "
okay, but no one said anything about ratio. iPod still has more space. trust me, if the zune or the fuze or pretty much anyone else came out with 160GB, I'd but it |
