Ipod, zune, where to get?

So I thought, soon, I may join the rest of the world and get one of these.

Which one is the best?

What size to get?

Wheres the best place to buy one? Is there any cheaper places online at all? (I dont know if i want to do ebay and get screwed over.)

What is the best site to get music/download music off of?

Zune all the way. IPod is the preferred choice of Nazis I heard. God forbid you actually want to add music from two different computers on a iPod. Plus, I believe it's mandatory to have an iTunes account to get basic crap like album art on your iPod.

Functionality over form. 80GB Zune from Craigslist.

There is a reason that iPods dominate the MP3 player market.

Zune 120 + zune pass FTMFW


Zune pass lets you download all the albums you want for like 15$ a month. AWESOME

Zune Lets you listen to FM tag a song and then as soon as you get to wifi it downloads it for you if you want. you can load from more than one comp and much much more!!!

And its microsoft so you know there its better than apple!!!

Ipod is only sold more because mircosoft drug there feet getting into the market!!!

zune is also compatible with xbox 360 so nice

Just my 2 cents though

With that out of the way...

The thing that I don't like about subscription services like the zunepass is that you never actually own the music that you are listening to. You can download all the music you want, but it isn't yours to keep after you quit paying the subscription fees. Unless you want to pay that sub fee into eternity, that is. Also, not all songs are available on subscription and instead must be bought. From what I hear that is not very common but it still kind of defeats the purpose of paying for the sub in the first place.

iPods are also compatible with 360s. I plug mine in and listen to my own music while playing a lot of games instead of the on disc music all the time.

Thats why i said its my 2 cents. just because you dont agree doesnt mean you can laugh at it???? (like an ass)

And i feel microsoft is better than apple thats why i buy mircosoft, not apple
If it wernt for the ipod apple would have died years ago.

also you can keep 10 songs a month. and its cheaper than paying 90 cents a song, for less than 20 of your songs i can have 20,000 albums !

I currently use a Ipod Nano (the latest one - 16gb), and love it. I sync it with Winamp, rather than Itunes.

I liked the zune better than my IPOD classic, but the stupid shit wouldn't work in my jeep(aftermarket headunit) so I ended up selling it. I like my IPOD touch tho, I can download songs directly to the IPOD if I have a wi-fi. zune was cool cause it would sync without having to be plugged it also. The biggest problem I have with apple is they always have that stupid chrome back and within a week or 2 it looks like pure shit. As with any MP3 player they all suck when I try and sync my music...I'll have 5 of the same artist because they are all spelled a little different or something stupid.

My brother has an ipod and I have a zune. The think the zune is better, but you have more choices as far as ipod compatible cd players for the car. In fact I don't think any are compatible with the zune other than just plugging it into an aux input.

As much as I dislike Apple, the Ipod is a superior product.

Anyone hear of the Zune armageddon that occured this year? Doesn't speak very highly of them.

quickly catching up? you must have your head up your ass. The Ipod outsells the zune 100 to 1 over even more. Ever since Zune had a freeze up last year during new years its sales have been on the decline:

I have the first gen zune and I love it. It is a 30gig, I have four movies and about 2000 songs and still have 24 gigs left. Plus with the new upgrade I was able to recover all my music that I lost when I had to wipe my computer after it crashed.

I love it!

Do not have any experience with Ipod.

I just picked up a 120 GB iPod Classic the other day and I love the thing. You really can't go wrong with Apple products; they outshine everyone I've seen in terms of build quality (except for the damn Powerbook power adapters which I'll never understand). As far as MP3 players go quality-wise, the iPod dominates from what I've seen. And I'm a full-time musician, so I work with this crap a lot.
