"You can have mine"
Pros: Nothing at all
Cons: All I wanted to do was drop audio files onto this thing. The software sucks. Im sure theres a way to do all the things I want to with this but after a month, Im still not sure how that is. Don't bother looking at the instructions. There aint none.
Summary: All I wanted to do with this thing was to drop audio files on it so I can listen to them while driving. Like all things Microsoft or Apple though, they can't just make a product to do what you want, they have to have a whole lot of software unique to them. I've had this thing for a month and i still can't make it work right. When it syncs it only downloads some of the files. My old $20 mp3 player by Craig was like a thumb drive, plug it in, drag files over to it and youre done. You cant do anything with this thing though unless each computer you plug it into has the opperating software downloaded on it. Then you have to manage the files on your computer which is then supposed to sync with the ZUNE each time you plug it in. Sounds great, but doesnt work so well. Playing audio files should be stupid easy. With this thing its not. There are no instructions included with it except how to plug it in and download the software from the website. Apparently thats supposed to be the hardest part. Im getting something else. This thing will be on EBAY by the end of the month.
