Yes it was a gamble but I wanted to pick someone besides Louisville, Pitt, Duke, or NC. It came down to Wake Forest, Kansas, or UCONN and I just went with a hunch.
Yes me 2. I am also impressed with the nice quality.
My bracket Final Four:
Wake / UCONN
Pitt / NC
UCONN beats Pitt in the final.
I need Clemson to do well and get to the field of 8 for me to be in the money though.
Not sure if you are still considering one or not but I have a Zune 120 and love it.
Pros:
SQ
Great UI and Controls
Excellent Build and Durability (I use mine a lot and it still looks brand new)
Nice big album art
Cons:
No EQ
Limited format support (no FLAC or OGG)
I don't use an EQ or lossless on portables so the cons are a non issue for me but may be for you or others.
I don't use the Zune Marketplace, or most other aspects of the "Social" but some like it.
We have 4 Zunes in my house and we sometimes "squirt" (yeah, I know) songs back and forth to share new music but the 3 play limit is lame.
I also have the Zune Car Pack II which lets me hear my Zune through my FM radio in my car. Works pretty good for me but others have had mixed results with it.
The Zune is a decent player with really good SQ but if you like accessories and and all the cool apps that you can get you can't beat the iTouch.
The main sacrifice with the iTouch would be storage. I like having 120GB so the Zune works for me.
While checking out Dresden Dolls from Grawk's post in the Listening To thread (thanks Grawk) I have discovered a genre I somehow did not previously know existed, even though I am already a fan of artists like Tori Amos and Goldfrapp and had also recently discovered (and loving) Rasputina.
The genre is Dark Cabaret and here is a here.
I have been listening to the afore mentioned Dresden Dolls/Amanda Palmer and Rasputina as well as Jill Tracy.
Great stuff.
