So my Zune arrived today, I paid £151 no tax(yea!
).
I posted ages ago I was getting one and someone asked for a review and pictures when I got it so I thought I would just give a few pointers instead as they might not be interested now.lol. If someone wants more than I will post more.
Good:
UI is great, it is so easy to move through and looks good. Controls GREAT.The only thing that is disappointing is the text is not very crisp.
Sound is VERY good, it is so 3D and clear and that is with the free earphones.
Easy to add songs once you get going.
Also it is not as big as you think in the flesh.
Bad:
The software is annoying to begin with. I did not have any issues like some have been reporting(Multiple re-installs, removal of free songs/videos etc) but it was hard setting it up. I really wanted to link my gamertag to it as well but as it is not official started in the UK you can't. I made an American hotmail account and just did it that way. Also it synced every song on my hard drive to the library, there where about a million songs on in my library, then it tried to put them on my Zune!
I stopped it and just dragged and dropped the albums I wanted.
Also a really annoying thing is it can't display album art as good as hoped, there are blurry but apparently there is a fix this friday to fix it or doing something to the pictures can fix it.?
I have only had it for a couple of hours but I really love it.lol
