I'm not a person that has to have the latest gadgets, but I love music, so I decided that I wanted a MP3 player. I researched several different kind, before finally purchasing the Zune. I have a 30gb Zune. What I like about the Zune is that it has FM radio transmission, so I never have to miss the Steve Harvey Morning show on my commute to work. In addition I was able to add photos to the zune - so I never have to worry that I don't have the most recent picture of my son, the slideshow of pictures is in the zune. And I have over 2000 songs, and still have plenty of room for more music, pictures and videos. The software is easy to install. It's easy to use, my 10 year old son manuvers through it without problems. A few weeks ago, I had to perform a system restore on my computer and lost all the music that was stored on my systems hard drive. I was able to transfer the music from my zune, and put it back on my pc. So i didn't lose anything. I love this product!!!
