I have an iPod. But if you don't like them or want a change, get the Zune, I would recommend it. Zunes are awesome music players and you will be happy with it. But let me just tell you a few pros and con, just in case.



Zune:



The good: The Microsoft Zune has very good playback performance of audio, video, and photos; intuitive and colorful interface; good FM radio with RDS; works well with Zune Marketplace software; integrated wireless allows sharing of songs (limited) and photos; many accessories available at launch.



The bad: The Microsoft Zune is not backward compatible with WMA-DRM9; weak native video support (cannot play protected content) and no video offerings from Zune Marketplace; cannot be used as a hard drive (and no UMS support); proprietary USB; cannot use Wi-Fi to sync, stream, or purchase content; minimal bundled accessories; no podcast directory; maximum capacity is 30GB.



The bottom line: The Microsoft Zune with its intuitive interface and solid playback performance will please most users. But lukewarm format support and the cool but limited Wi-Fi capability will have advanced users seeking more. The Zune is a very good start, though.

Do some research, like reading user reviews on cnet.com or amazon.com. Check out comparable models too, to make it will do everything you want it to do.



I have an iRiver PMC120 20 gb model and I love it. Amazon had them for $199 a few weeks ago, which is a pretty good deal. You can also find them on ebay even cheaper.
