I bought a Zune the other night and I'm having fun with it. Never been a big Mac kinda guy so I went with Microsoft and was wondering am I the only one here at TVCH?

I was wondering a few things and had some questions if there is anybody out there that may have had one for awhile.

iPod has its own thread so I figured I start the Zune thread.

I don't have a Zune but read last night that this product can send a song to a friend and it's good for 3 listens before the friend can decide to buy or not buy it. A useful function for sure. Not sure the Zune will take off like the iPod, mainly because the Apple guys are marketing gurus and have such a following. Hope you are enjoying the Zune!

I am into portable satellite radio with the mp3 player added on as a secondary function. Thus far this feature has not been integrated into the iPod or the Zune as far as I know. I think the reason is you can record satellite for up to 50 hours now, a very useful function. It cuts down the need to buy mp3s.

The Zune will be useless in a couple of years, much like the Betamax. Stupid idea, and many bad reviews. Not enough people hopped onto the Zune-wagon, so the sharing thing is often useless. Not to mention that you are rarely withing the wi-fi area of another Zune user.

I love my Zune. I don't see it will ever be useless as I know a lot of people who own one and love it. There are a lot of people who don't buy into the Apple/Mac hype and don't want to support a monopoly so they do look elsewhere for products.

My Zune goes with me everywhere. Not being a listen to music type person, I don't have much music on it. I have audiobooks and pictures. It can play video but I haven't tried that yet. After helping my DIL set up her iPod I have to say the Zune is more user friendly IMO. Zune will work from Windows Media Player so you can hook it up to any computer without having to download and install extra software.

We cannot get satellite radio here. My son in MT sent one to one of my sons here and it won't receive.
