Things You Should Know About Zune Media

Full Review

The Microsoft zune media player unexpectedly jumped into the portable Mp3 player market and is now gaining some loyalists. This is because the Zune has a bigger 3.2 inch display and a touch-senstive pad with two buttons button for navigation. It isn’t the thinnest device with a 0.5 inch thickness, but it is still cool to carry around with and comes with a wide range of trendy colors.

Looking at the battery life, it isn’t very amazing and mostly lasts after 10 or 11 hours of playtime . fortuitously, you can charge the Zune media player via USB if you are near a computer or have a laptop with you. To extend the life of the battery by a little bit, you can adjust the brightness levels.

Song management is pretty good thanks to the click-wheel that allows quick access to the song you want. The Zune media player also organizes your music based on the tags making it pretty easy even if you load gigabytes worth of music.

The Zune media player comes with a few nifty personalization options both outside and inside the player.

Unlike most mp3 players, the Zune has a WiFi option that allows wireless transfer from computers or between Zunes to share songs. The Zune software also comes out a bit buggy and some upgrades pose some problems among some users as well. Overall the Zune media player is a great device that can store a lot and easily play the songs you are looking for.
