The TPU Zune Social

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

Okay my Zune tag is thatguyuknowzz ( feel free to befriend me! ). I own a 16 GB Zune HD and have a Zune pass, and I love it, this is my first MP3 player that I have actually liked. I've owned ( in no real order ) a Creative Zen, Creative Zen 2, Archos 12 GB, Sandisk Sansa Fuze 8 GB, an iPod 3rd Gen 30 GB, an iPod Nano 2nd Gen 4GB, iPod Touch 8 GB 1st Gen, iPod 32 GB 2nd Gen, Zune 30 GB, and now 16 GB Zune HD.

Honestly all of them had some features I liked, but a lot of features I didn't like, with apple it was well the fact it was an apple. With Sandisk, the screen was too small the FM tuner was lame, and the capacity was too small. With creative, the interface and software was well.... crap. With Archos the battery life was too short, and the player was tooo big! And with my original Zune, it weighed more than a baby!

The Zune HD has been the perfect fit for me. I love the size the weight, the battery life, and the quality of the screen is amazing! The software works, and the conversions to MP4 is a nice feature. I love everything about it! My only 2 things I would change about it, is I want a bigger screen, and a way to copy and paste. I travel a lot, and sometimes typing in the secure network passwords is a PITA, also blue tooth support would be nice, cords piss me off! But for a first gen device this is as close to perfect as I have found, and it can only get better!

Anyway, nice to meet yall!

lol, Just looked at my playcount... when I ditched my Zune 4GB... I had like 4,800 plays... Now look at it. 14,820 Plays. Does that say something on how much I use my PMPs?

Has anyone purchased either of the FM transmiters available for the Zune ?

There is the Microsoft Zune Premium Car Pack v4 and the Microsoft Zune Car Pack v2.

I recently purchased Microsoft Zune Car Pack v2 and I love it, it fits perfectly in my car, and even though it doesn't say so, it does work with my Zune HD 16gb, it works wonderfully, though I do have some complaints. The transmitter is not exactly powerfull it has to sit near the window on my dash, and it doesn't transmit radio from the zune ( when I set it to do so all I get is quiet static, almost a low hum ) and the only way to change songs is through the zune, not exactly safe while driving. I would like to know if the Premium Car Pack v4 has the same problems.

Thanks in advance for the input

It sucks that your battery died.

I my car pack v2, but I have to warn you, it will have to sit on your dash, the range is rather limited, and unless you live in a rural area, you may have to switch broadcast channels too. I have to change the broadcasting channel 3 times on the way to work, but I have a rather long commute, 65 miles one way.

I see the recert with car pack v2 leather case and zune for 60 dollars .. ill bite

Well, I was hoping Zune Team would implement a way to download 720p of the movies we OWN/bought on Blu-Ray/DVD but no go. So, I am stuck with torrenting. MPIAA better not get mad at me for this since I own the movie I am torrenting. (The Hurt Locker in 720p) I own it on Blu-Ray (1080p).

Heres the story!

bought a Ipod from a guy in my platoon for 40$ and when we deployed to iraq, one of my other buddies bought a zune 30GB. Well he hated it for some reason due to him always owning a ipod so he asks me to trade and i did. After about a week of the zune I was hooked! Then once we got back from the deployment it was in my car in northern NY when we got 8ft of snow. It feel down into the floor board and my wife stepped on it with her snowy wet feet. After i found it and tried to get it to work she went and bought me the 120GB version and i have had it ever since.

Can't see why they would let you download it at their expense when they got none of the profits from the sale of the movie...

Also, when you torrent you are hosting the file, so it doesn't matter than you own it, you are distributing it to people who don't.

Almost every lawsuit on copyright infringement is based on this (distribution).

Not saying it is fair, just saying that is how it works.

Upload = 0Kb/s. Sorry, but if its legal(for me), I don't upload.
If they sue me on the fact that I downloaded it, I will counter sue. Its just that simple. I won't be bullied by a egotistic company who screws over artists every chance they get.
