Title: Talk Me Out of Buying a Zune 2.
Post by: drozmight on November 12, 2007, 09:45:53 PM: My iPod Nano died. I should really just get a new iPod, but for some reason I want a Zune 2 because you can etch paintings on the back of it, and it looks nice.

Slap me if you feel it's necessary.

Post by: Vizzys on November 12, 2007, 09:48:01 PM: what are you looking for in an mp3 player, exactly

If I were to buy a new mp3 player it would be the creative zen 8gb (flash) for portability reasons

because I already own the creative zen vision m 30gb(hdd) for everything else.

Post by: Beezy on November 12, 2007, 10:41:38 PM: I was just looking through some newspaper ads. A few places (Sears, Circuit City) will give you a $15-$25 giftcard when you buy a Zune.

Seriously? You can't just change the format/file extention?

[Sorry, I'm stupid about this sort of thing please don't hate me.]

FWIW, I have a Creative Zen Nano and I like it. The battery lasts FOREVER and the sound is good and everything.

Post by: drozmight on November 12, 2007, 11:41:14 PM: Well I really haven't bought much on itunes...

Perhaps I can just burn to CD, and then rip the music off the CD.

Damn I'm going to get one.

Post by: Rman on November 13, 2007, 08:17:38 PM: You're hilarious, dude.

To the OP: If you have substantial iTunes songs just pick up another Nano. If you don't pick up whatever you wish. There are ways to break the DRM from iTunes songs; it's a pain in the ass, though.
