New Microsoft Zune Mp3

The New Microsoft Zune Mp3



They will be released in America Tomorrow and at the moment are only available in black, White and Brown. They will all be 30Gb.
There will be a music shop called the Zune MarketPlace where you can buy songs. Microsoft have announced there will be millions of songs available buying them by Microsoft Points also used in Xbox Live. They have enabled the limited sharing of songs, recordings, playlists and pictures with others. Tracks received from another person can be played for up to three days or three plays, whichever comes first, after which it will need to be purchased via the Zune Marketplace. Recipients cannot re-send music or audio files that they have received via the sharing feature. These limits are not only applied to Zune Marketplace music, but to all audio files loaded onto a Zune player, without exception.
The Zune will be able to connect to the Xbox 360, which will allow the user to stream music, videos, and pictures via USB. It is unknown whether the Zune can connect to an Xbox 360 via WiFi.

Think This Is New Anyway

Thanks

Well found. Looks nice, I quite like it. However, I doubt it'll overtake the iPod though..

Same It Might Do Though and Thanks For Coment

It may well do, but it highly depends on the price. Do you know a price yet?

Apparantly there's rumours it may have features such as buffered internet radio streaming.. Well, I suppose that's positive.

I've just read it's concentrating on features Apple havn't thought of/incorporated.. Should be interesting to see the final product.

Sorry Yeah Mod Please add this to first Post.

The price will be £130

Wow! I'm shocked, would have thought it'd be a hell of a lot more than that for 30GB.. Well, that could make the whole possible 'Zune vs. iPod' situation a lot different. Shall be interesting to see its success after its launch.

ipod are rubbish tbh. they break all the time.

looks cool. +rep for the great find.

Thanks Dec i know 130 is quite cheap

;o i like them

they def. wont sell out the ipod though

It looks great, and it's cheaper than the iPod. Yay for The Thermals being on the playlist!! :D

Im still getting the vision M though. Apparently there is some iffy stuff with how you can put songs on the zune.

So, you have to buy every song you put on it?
Heck, I'm not even going to consider it.

Looks quite smart, I will probably buy another ipod though when mine breaks. :p

i preordered it.
@ lee, no you don't, it allows several types of media, so i don't think all the songs i nthe marketplace are going to be different formats ;/

im gonna stick with apple :]

I don't like Microsoft, but dude, for £130 for 30GB, Microsoft coulda killed your whole family and you'd buy this

Just going with what it says in the quote, but unless it takes the name and artist and makes you buy it from the one format.
Hey, you tell me when you have yours =]

But surely Microsoft wouldn't do something that stupid? They like making alot of money, and they're not gonna make much on these players if you have to buy all the music. People won't even buy the player, let alone the music
