Weaknesses:thickness and weight compared with competion. Software hacks needed to watch divx. verall Evaluation: For the price I think the Zune is one of the best MP3 players you can get and the 30 gb is a perfect size since I only use it for music and the occasional photo. I would have liked to see a slimer design and maybe a little less on the weight department but hey cant always be completely perfect.

The files can be copied from disc or transferred from a flash memory device or PC running WMP10 connected to the front-mounted USB port. What’s more you can slip a CD in the tray and rip tracks to the hard-disk in lossless LPCM quality at up to 16 times the normal speed and the inclusion of the Gracenote CDDB database means that track artist and album title information are added automatically. The system also plays back DivX files from CD or USB but sadly there’s no support for DVD-Audio or SACD which is unusual considering the system does everything else. Also on board is a choice of two 7-day EPGs – Guide Plus and the regular Freeview version – which lets you choose how you surf for something to watch (though we recommend the more intuitive Freeview version). There are seven recording presets on board which let you alter the quality to fit more recordings in the available space and these are backed up by 32-step manual modes giving you a great deal of control over the quality of your recordings.
