Where To Buy Microsoft Zune HD 64GB MP3 And Media Player - Review

By


Why did I choose Zune HD for review?

Well, who would have ever thought that Microsoft Zune HD 16GB mp3 and video player will be this great? When first generation Zune was released couple of years ago, it was the scrutinized and taunted by a lot of people especially by the Apple crowd. I knew that Zune player would be known today like this, despite that it is still recovering from its past failures, of course.

Absolutely, 3rd generation Microsoft Zune HD mp3 player is not just your simple and ordinary portable music player but there are more to it. It was created by brilliant minds from Microsoft to compete, if you would consider, with iPod. I have witnessed the progress and enhancements of Zune, and it is one of the best MP3 (and media) players and will be the best in due time.

Microsoft Zune HD media player is more than just a MP3 player

Since this entertainment platform is being supported and designed by Microsoft, it includes Zune Market software, Zune Social, Podcasts and Xbox 360. Without a doubt, I had the best time using 16GB Zune HD media player!

There are numerous features that I liked about player Zune HD rather than the other devices that I had used (and perhaps, I had not found any device that I could compare Zune with). The distinguishing features that I love Zune for are the HD radio, Zune Social, Zune Pass, OLED and a lot more. Well, for sure, if you have Zune media pleyer, you will agree to me that “Smart DJ” is better than “Pandora”, right?

Zune Social lets you interact with people

Zune Social is one of Microsoft ZUne media player’s cool features that will enable you to interact with other Zune users. Yes! You could actually find other Zune users and become friends with them. It will let you share and exchange songs with each other and you could even listen to the playlist of songs that your friends listen to.

Why I like Smart DJ more than Pandora

If you liked Pandora, then you will love the ‘Smart DJ’… why? Pandora is an online radio service, but the difference between Pandora and Smart DJ is that in Smart DJ you could rate the songs and the fun part is you could download it (as long as you have enough Zune Pass, of course).

Xbox Live integration – not only for gaming fans

Aside from the far exceeding brighter, vibrant and incredible OLED (OLED is actually better than a LCD) screen of the Zune mp3 player, what I like best is the Xbox Live integration which allows the users to manage friends, sends messages and compare music with one another.

New gadgets and sophisticated devices might come and go but one thing is for sure, nothing will beat Microsoft Zune HD 16GB. You might laugh at me and make fun of what I think but I surely believe that Zune will be the best that was ever build – basing of course on the improvement I had seen for the past few years.

i have a Zune Hd and i must say it is great. There is one minor disappointment i had with it tho. It does not come with a flash player like the ipod, so you can not stream video on websites like youtube. But, other than that, i do ESPECIALLY love the smart dj. it is amazing. thanx for writing!

Thank you for the comment Erickb! I agree that lack of flash is a bit of dissapointment, but...if a portable media player will have all features we want, it will be neither portable, nor player - it will be a computer. LOL :)
