Guest Stefkov Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Do you know where they give specifications on the Zune? I want to know what files it'll play, see if it's better than the Zen. I just realised I've actually seen one before. On a coach going to Derby some guy I knew was watching Family guy on it. I was really squinting thinking, is that a Zune, he said it was. It looked nice. ..never mind, I've found out it doesnt play avi, which I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 What video files does it play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Looks like just .wmv files. What is with only having specific formats?!? I really can't see why Creative hasn't sold loads, ha ing all those formats able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKOB Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 its just a bit thicker. don't over exaggerate. From a website You want a bigger screen: Zune. You need an all-you-can-eat subscription service: Zune. You want a store with a larger music library: iPod. You want a movie and TV store: iPod. You want contacts, calendar, notes, stopwatch, and iPod Games: iPod. You want to be different/want something new: Zune. Xbox 360 owners who purchase music and want streaming: Zune. Xbox 360 owners who purchase music and don't want streaming: iPod. You want a scratch resistant player: Zune. You want a built-in FM tuner: Zune. You want a touch-sensitive scroll wheel: iPod. Only reason i'm buying a zune is because its scratch resistent, there's a video on youtube somewhere of a guy usuing a key and pressing it quite ard across the zune screen and nothing happens, with the ipod it gets basically destroyed. I didn't say i held one, i was commenting on the increase in the length. The iphone has scratch resistant glass, and i imagine the next ipod will too-due between now and january lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroScap Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 No specific proof that the next ipod would, but then what is to say the new zune wont have something even better to compare against the new upod. hmm I wonder what the battery power is like, with the equiv models of course.

Umm, the Zune and the 30 GB ipod video, both have the same battery life. Only reason I got a Zune was because of the scratch resistent thing, the screen and I just like the look of it slightly more than the ipod.

It converts all your files for you into Zune friendly one's. Yay, just ordered it, should be here on saturday. EDIT: how bollocks was my spelling! I'll edit it now.

Wesley Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I'm thinking of getting a nice brown Zune... it was either that or a Zen, but the only Zen I want is basically the same as the Zune but 60 quid more. The only problem is that I'm on Mac... so I'd have to Boot Camp to put music on my Zune because they don't support Mac. EDIT: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/zune-now-works-with-mac-os-x-and-linux-well-almost-217258.php Well maybe it will eventually.

I Really like the look of Zunes. I may be sounding annoying but please someone tell me if they play .avi, .rmvb, .ogm and whatever else. It's mainly .avi I want to know.

KKOB Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 It's shit. It makes a fuck tonne of sense if you have a mac.

It scratches constantly, it breaks just after warranty and the stupid itunes converting my mp3's. I'm not saying Zune is thet best either (I've not used it yet) but ipod most def isn't.

I'm not saying Zune is thet best either (I've not used it yet) but ipod most def isn't. My iTunes doesn't try to convert any of my mp3's. I don't know what you're trying to say here... 1. Maybe he wants a Zune instead? 2. A FEW episodes? That'll take ages. It takes about 5 minutes to convert an episode of scrubs, from a dvd, to an iPod playable format...
