[...] http://thecollegepolitico.com/another-reason-ill-never-buy-a-microsoft-zune/ Didnt notice sense I was home all day and didnt have a chance to use my zune. OVerall I’m really happy with the stupid little thing. However, what I like best is the Zune subscription service. It’s nice being able to go load up my library with whatever I’m in the mood for. Right now I’m building a trance/ambient playlist. The heavy metal, rap, and other stuff I listen to is occasionally distracting. Like when I’m reading. Trance and ambient are great at these times because they just provide background sound that I can float along with. Probably not good for riding the motorcycle though…..will stick to heavy metal for that. [...]

The suggestion is untrue. The iTunes software works fantastically with an iPod while, indeed, the Microsloth software is second rate.

Hey Lou,

Yea… you do know that pretty much all mp3 players comparable to an ipod can do those things. I could list the many different reasons I wouldn’t buy an ipod here (like the way its operating system works) but that’s not really the point of this.

If it helps I think the iphone and itouch are relatively cool even if I wouldn’t buy one.

“especially when it comes to something as simple as an mp3 player.”

You do realize than an iPod is far more than an MP3 player. Right? Please feel free to get back with us when you can watch a movie, play a game, surf the web, check your stock portfolio and then listen to music, all on your Dellosaur.

I can’t believe that Leap Years were never taken into account! I would imagine that this same failure will occur again at the end of 2012.

You analysis is not true. Use my iPod with my PC and MAC. You aren’t tied to iTunes or Microsoft coding oversight errors. Loaded most of my CD’s on my iPod so I can take them on the motorcycle. Can’t change CD’s on the bike, so put a couple hundred on the iPod and problem is solved. And I can burn my stuff to CD that I pick up off iTunes for backup. Of course I’ve never had to wait 24 hours for my iPod to reset because a snot nosed code jockey forgot to program in leap year either.
