Clearly, you don't understand how to use one. Which, by the way, doesn't bode well for you. It's just about the most intuitive interface around. But hey, M$ has to sell a Zune to SOMEONE, so I guess you're it, Brasky.
Its not rocket science, bud. What it is, is a bunch of fuckin crap.
I was wiping it clean for my X, who loaded up a bunch of half-fucked lists, and it split albums up six ways from sunday. So I had to restore it to factory settings, which requires a 40 minute d/l from iTunes, rather than just deleting stuff the old fashioned way. Then I had to re-up a bunch of new albums which all had album art, but the iFuck doesn't recognize them unless it feels like it. No rhyme or reason on that one. Had the cable plugged in the whole time, filled the list which took fuckin forever like it was grandpa looking at each album, "Oh, the Pink Floyds, I liked them when I was a boy". Pop the cable off, its fuckin empty. Silly me, it never swapped the data into the player, it just stuffed it into its iHole, fapped its iDick for an iHour. Load the fucker, that takes another hour+
Bottom line is, they want you to buy from iTunes, and anything besides that is a fuckin chore.
Who says anything about Zune? Theres lots of alternatives. My Sony works like a champ, and holds a charge for weeks.
That fuckin thing I was working on was an iPod Touch, btw. I won't put up with all that horseshit for a slick interface. In six months, everybody will have touch models out that work as good if not better, for half the price, twice the HD, and you'll drop folders in the fucker.
