Microsoft’s attempt to compete with the iPod while simultaneously sucking off the music industry has given rise to what is commonly referred to as a complete and total disaster.
Yes, Microsoft’s new Zune digital music player is just plain dreadful. I’ve spent a week setting this thing up and using it, and the overall experience is about as pleasant as having an airbag deploy in your face.
“Avoid,” is my general message. The Zune is a square wheel, a product that’s so absurd and so obviously immune to success that it evokes something akin to a sense of pity…
The Zune is a complete, humiliating failure. Toshiba’s Gigabeat player, for example, is far more versatile, it has none of the Zune’s limitations, and Amazon sells the 30-gig model for 40 bucks less.
Throw in the Zune’s tail-wagging relationship with music publishers, and it almost becomes important that you encourage people not to buy one.
Ouch. We’ll stick with our insanely easy to figure out and user-friendly iPods for now.
Avoid the loony Zune [Chicago Sun-Times]
