Oh like you wouldn't
that's why goozex is so kickass
I would totally get a Zune Phone if it had XBL Arcade and a real keyboard on it.
don't they already have a 32 gb? or is that just the touch
i think it tops out at 16 now, but wwdc is in 3 weeks or so
I really don't want an iPhone, and I like my iPod
it seems pretty nice, actually
may be worth subscribing to
They're awfully good looking, the software is attractive, concise, while still boasting some nice features.
The Zune Pass really is a perfect concept for me, and though I pay in total about thirty bucks a month for the total of my microsoft subscriptions, that includes playing games online, which I do every day, the party system on my xbox which I use everyday, and eighteen gigs of music that I use everyday
And yes I technically do use that much because I have it shuffle through the whole thing and there are maybe a hundred or less songs I don't know every word to.
It's a rockin' thing.
It seems like it'd be pretty neato
dunno if anyone answered you and I'm lazy but I can answer these questions so I'm gonna
1. yes there is, as of spring of last year
2. this one I'm less clear on, but I think you should be able to transfer your itunes plus music over.
Didn't iTunes do away with its drm?
If so, yes you can totally take music you bought from the itunes store and put it on your zune.
yeah, but they ended up taking down some of their stuff, so there is the very slight chance that if you bought something that wasn't itunes plus, you couldn't get the itunes plus version of it and thus be unable to transfer it over
of course that's a pretty unlikely scenario but whatever
I mean it's an inconvenience sure, but CDs are cheaper than rebuying the music?
Because the Zune is supergay
Yes this will always work
Just make sure you edit your burn settings so it doesn't automatically add 2 seconds to each song
Pisses me off when it does it to an album that's got a lot of transitions
wiggin not liking something is usually the best possible endorsement of that something
I just talk shit out of boredom
I really don't dislike the Zune
It's just not for me
All the features that people tout as so awesome (radio, different browsing methods, Zune pass), I give a fraction of a shit about at the most
iPod works for me, so I use that
I don't like apple very much, but what are you gonna do
So I think it works out well, but it doesn't replace having a collection, and you have to be okay with a long-term payment/value instead of thinking about it as a monthly charge.
As a last note, I find that I'm never out of new things to listen to, because new music is always coming out, or I hear about a new genre I've never checked out before. Tastes evolve over time, music comes and goes, but it's good to have a limited collections of music on hard copy you will never get tired of.
I think Microsoft in general hasn't understood all these issues, at least in promoting the service. I think if Apple offered it people would go nuts, for some reason.
I too wish Microsoft would find a competant marketing agency to represent them
I mean, just look at the guy's face
they were less smarmy than apple's. the laptop ones are dumb, and the zune one is super dumb.
YES
That was amazing.
his book is amazing
it has a chapter called "700 hobo names"
it is a list of 700 hobo names.
the deadpan style he narrates it in is just too funny
Seriously. I've been meaning to pick up his book, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
SH, I have been meaning to thank you for turning me on to You Look Nice Today
it is fantastic
Suddenly you're the guy who goes to the Star Wars convention dressed as Mr. Spock.
I didn't think anybody would actually check them out, so cool! Glad you like it.
They were actually up in Seattle a couple weeks ago for some Comedy Improv thingy.
those guys are goddamned hilarious
