Microsoft zune 120 reviews


















I loved the capacity of it, The screen was crystal clear, enjoy the games, the movies, and the music, It lasted a good while til one day it crashed, i restored it to factory settings but was unable to sync the music back onto it. Lost All music and 3 movies I never gotten my wireless to work but it was a lot of fun. Hopefully zune will come out with a touch screen G soon.

I own a same version of zune mp3 player but a 60gb one. I like the way they designed the player. They come with high quality sound effects with stereo type ear phones. The best thing is their features. They are wifi enabled to do some social networking.

Very feasible to handle the whole stuff. The music can be transferred between the players using wifi network. Battery life is impressive and on top of all the sound quality is unbeatable in its class. The only con I can think of is the zune software. It could have been done much better. When it comes to these softwares all of them are little complicated. Rather I would prefer simple plug in and load the songs just like a flash drive.

Its not really an easy thing to install software in every machine from where or to where the songs need to be moved. On the whole I prefer zune to ipod. The zune is a great mp3 player it has apps radio a marketplace pictures videos music and more all avalible on it. The zunes market place is easy to use all you do is buy the songs then you can update them on your computor. You can also visit the market place straight from your zune. But for this to work you will need to instal the zune website one your pc this will explain its self when you download it.

You also can update it and control everything through that site. The FM radio on it isnt the greatest but its not ment for radio so it doesnt bother most people. The apps on it are limited unless you get the zune touch HD which i recremend but on the normal zune you can get about 5 games that are still pretty fun.

The screen is big so movies are nice on it. And pictures look so clear. The zune has 80 GBs of memory so have fun and download what you want because you got room. I personally own this product and also the zune HD touch and both are great but the touch is funner. Microsoft has also added some neat options for music discovery, like Zune Social, which lets you see what your friends are listening to and sample their tunes.

Pros :. DT Recommended Product. Diminutive flash-based MP3 players may have a physical advantage, but they don't address the needs of users who prefer to carry their entire music and media library on one device. Microsoft's latest hard-drive-based Zune player , the Zune GB, targets precisely those users.

Other than a storage boost and a new glossy-black look, the real changes differentiating the Zune GB from its 80GB predecessor lie in the 3.

The Zune GB is the same size and weight as its predecessor; but at 0. It does weigh a bit less, though, at 4. This edition of the Zune has a glossy plastic front and a black rather than silver back. The all-black look is very sleek but prone to fingerprints and scratches. If you'd rather listen to radio, you can use the Zune's built-in FM tuner.

In the PC World Test Center's evaluation, this model's signal-to-noise ratio where a higher number means a cleaner signal was 76dB, slightly lower than that of the 16GB flash model which came in at 80dB but comparable to some of our top-ranked players.

Within the Social menu, you have an Inbox for messages and friend requests between Zune users, a Friends tab displaying any current Zune users you've befriended through Microsoft's Zune Social network, and a Nearby tab that detects the Wi-Fi signal of other Zune's in physical proximity to you.

You can dig deeper into the Social to preview and purchase the recent or favorite songs of people in your network, piggybacking on your friend's music tastes the same way you might with an online service such as iLike or Last. We're all in favor of getting music recommendations from friends, however, the slow adoption of the Zune means that your actual friends are nowhere to be found on the Zune Social, requiring you to befriend Zune-using strangers in an effort to make the Social feature feel useful.

Having used the Zune Social for the past year, however, the pseudo-friends forged in the Social have routinely provided some surprisingly good music recommendations. If you're a fan of audio and video podcasts, the Zune is one of the only alternatives to the iPod that provides integrated, hassle-free management of your podcast feeds. Like the iPod, the Zune's closed software and hardware ecosystem is able to automatically download new podcasts, load them onto your Zune, and clear out the old content.

The Zune desktop software allows you to browse, search for, and subscribe to podcasts within the Marketplace directory, or paste in the direct link for the feed.

Podcast playback on the Zune supports autoresume, episode information, and the ability to unsubscribe from podcasts directly from the playback screen. Finally, if you're a Zune Pass music subscriber, Microsoft has added a new feature called Channels that offers a podcast-like automatic rotation of new music playlists for your Zune. If you don't hold a Zune Pass subscription, you can still subscribe to Channels and hear second song previews of any of the music included on the playlist, with the option to purchase tracks a la carte.

If you've been waiting to bite the bullet on a Zune Pass until it seems like a better value, Channels offers an appealing way to inject new music onto your Zune every week without you having to lift a finger. Zune desktop software It wasn't pretty when Microsoft overhauled its desktop software alongside the release of last year's Zune. Thankfully, the upgrade to Version 3.

The software runs noticeably faster on our old Windows XP machine and includes menu settings that allow you to throttle the software's graphic performance to match the capabilities of your computer.

The latest software hasn't made any radical visual changes, but there are a few subtle enhancements. The software's background image is now white goodbye pink swirls ; there's a new Picks tab under Marketplace with personalized recommendations; your Zune Social card has now been integrated better; and the Now Playing screen offers an enhanced view with tastefully treated artist photos that float and fade like a custom screensaver.

The most interesting new feature included on the Zune 3. Using Mixview, you can explore the connections between artists, preview similar songs, and acquaint yourself with other Zune users, in a way that is much more visually engaging than the storefront design that permeates iTunes and Zune Marketplace.

The Zune software is far from perfect, however, and still lacks the fine-grain control that users can find in iTunes, Windows Media Player, and Winamp. If you're a power user, yearning to outfit your metatags with lyric data or import your FLAC music files, the Zune software isn't the place for you. Unfortunately, the Zune hardware is only compatible with Zune's own desktop software, so if you can't stand the software's deliberately vanilla approach to music organization then you may want to consider another MP3 player.
