Is full wireless syncing support appropriate for a flash-based player? Microsoft’s $199 8GB Zune certainly ships with a raft of features, but unless you need a light player with wireless functions, you’ll probably be able to find better values elsewhere.
The 8GB Zune is a little thicker than one of the last-generation iPod Nanos. That puts it on the large side for flash-based MP3 players these days. Its audio quality sounded a little better to my ears than that of the latest iPod Nano, on a par with Creative’s Zen V. One tiny annoyance, though: The player’s 20-step digital volume control doesn’t provide much granularity. Occasionally, I’d reach points where one step was too low and the next too high.
The Zune supports MP3, WMA, WMA lossless, PlaysForSure DRM-ed audio, and its own DRM format for Zune Pass subscriptions. If you’d rather listen to radio, the Zune includes a built-in FM tuner. It also plays back video and displays photos on its 1.8-inch 320-by-240-pixel screen, and the Zune now supports h.264 and MPEG-4 encoding in addition to WMV.
