Full Review

The Microsoft zune media player unexpectedly jumped into the portable Mp3 player field and is right now gaining some loyalists . This is since the Zune has a bigger 3.2 inch screen and a touch-senstive pad with two buttons button for navigation. It isn't the thinnest gadget with a 0.5 inch thickness, but it is still cool to carry around with and comes with a large selection of stylish colors.

Regarding the battery life, it isn't surprising and generally lasts after 10 or 11 hours of playback. fortuitously, you can charge the Zune media player via USB if you are near a computer or have a laptop with you. To extend the life of the battery by a little bit, you can adjust the brightness levels.

Song management is pretty good thanks to the click-wheel that allows quick access to the song you want. The Zune media player also organizes your music based on the tags making it pretty easy even if you load gigabytes worth of music.

The Zune media player comes with a few good personalization alternatives both outside and inside the player .

Unlike the majority mp3 players, the Zune owns a WiFi option that lets wireless transfer from computers or between Zunes to share music. The Zune software also comes out a bit buggy and several upgrades pose some difficulties among several users as well. Generally the Zune media player is a good device that can store many and effortlessly play the music you are seeking.
