Zune Love

Do any of you happen to have a Zune?

I'm guessing no which is a shame. It's a mp3 player, like an Ipod but without the snazzy commercials and white headphones. It's made by Microsoft but it's strangely un-microsoft as in it works really well, and every so often they release free new software for it. Once in a while when I hook it up to my computer to sync up some new songs and podcasts, it's all BLAMO!! New functionality on my zune, for free. It now does that thing where while if you're listening to the radio on it and like the song, you hit a button and it tells you what it is and lets you buy it. They also added texas hold'em poker so I can practice taking everyone's monies.

Did I mention it has a gorgeous screen? I think only the ipod touch looks better. And I prefer the controls. Does anyone else hate the ipod areola controller? You keep running your finger around it in a circle but never leave feeling satisfied.

The reason I ask is there's great music sharing stuff you can do with other people who have Zunes. You can share music with each other, either online or directly with their built in wifi. We could be hanging out not talking to each other, and I could be all "hey, you know how I keep butchering that red hot chili peppers song "Under the Bridge" in rock band? Well here's what it's supposed to sound like." And then the music bits would fly through the wifi tubes and land in your zune, and you'd be all "damn, you need voice lessons yo."

Even if you don't have a Zune, the zune music player is great. Love it compared to itunes. Microsoft needs to have their windows mobile (smartphone) developers talk to their Zune developers so I'm not forced to get an iphone in the future. I'd really like to continue my pointless Apple boycott...

My posting is extra rambly and pointless lately due to that kind of delirious sleep deprived state. I blame the new kitten who's favorite time to play is always. It's hard to get rested when you're constantly being woken up by little teeth biting you. And you want to get all mad, but when you look at him he's all "What? you has a flavor."

No I do not have a Zune, and there is no shame in that. I was never a fan of the Ipods or Zunes. I received a Sansa Fuze from my brother as a gift in late August. Alas, no music sharing for us. So how much money did Microsoft pay you for this post? Get some sleep!

Ready - $0. Someone should fix that. I love the xbox360 and that's Microsoft too. Vista kinda pisses me off some, as does windows mobile.

Gabe - I have a first gen 30GB that I got for $100 last christmas right after the second gens came out. I'll let you know if I see any on sale.

Had to go get set up for my office site meeting where we're discussing the merits of wings, beer, and wifi. Man I love working remotely.
