If you’re in the market for an MP3 player with lots of storage space you have two practical options: the impressive and elegant Zune MP3 Player by Microsoft or the venerable but still chic iPod classic by Apple.
Microsoft’s Zune 120 GB Video MP3 Player can almost do everything that an Apple iPod touch can do (except for surfing the net). Bill Gates has made an iincredible attempt to steal a slice of the media player with the launch of the Zune that has its own sets of unique selling points.
The Zune 120 GB Video MP3 Player is 5.5″ long, 2.4″wide and 1.8 inches thick, weighing at just 12 ounces. It has a 120GB memory and a huge 3.2-inch LCD (with a 320 x 240 resolution). Although the Microsoft model does not have an internet browsing feature, it can use wireless networks to remotely sync with your PC or laptop.
The feature of FM radio tagging function has become one of the unique features of the Zune 120GB Video MP3 Player. As you are listening to a FM radio station, you can tag the songs that you like to purchase them later when you sync the device with the your computer.
Another feature unique to Microsoft’s media player is the Zune Pass subscription. The Zune Pass allows you have an unlimited downloads of music and albums from the Zune Marketplace with only the price of one CD.
The fabulous design of the Zune 120GB Video MP3 Player is another incredible selling point. Eventhough Apple media players are very popular, there are some of us who do not find the design of Apple appliances very attractive. The Zune has a very nice sleek and sexy design with smooth, straight lines and minimalist features.
Zune users get a free software update every few months and the sound quality of audio playbacks is great. File transfer speeds of this little machine are also very impressive where I download over 2000 songs from my PC in just a couple of minutes!
Besides, Zune HD 32GB and Zune 30GB are also very attrative to get!
