I have a video ipod, but I just bought a zune from woot.com for 99 bucks. I'm kind of excited to see which one I like better. I'm in love with my ipod, so the zune's already got a rough road ahead (perhaps an eBay destiny)

If you want, I definitely will.

I didnt mean to come off as "I purchased a $99 item just so I could test it out, I have an Ipod, blah blah blah" type snob. This purchase went straight to credit card, and probably shouldn't have even been made. I have very little self control when it comes to internet shopping/deals/music players.

You weren't sounding like a snob at all. I'm in the same boat you're in when it comes to exhibiting restraint. Fortunately? I'm broke & have no credit cards, so I wasn't able to purchase one right now.

If you want to talk about restraint, I bought a black zune to go with my white zune. I seriously considered buying a brown one too.

Once you download the music does it have an expiration date?

Is it on your computer and your Zune?

I made a bonehead move and dropped my ipod in the pool 2 weeks ago. I gave it time to dry and tried every trouble-shooting procedure I could find, but it's toast.

Now I'm trying to decide between another ipod or a zune. I don't watch any video. I listen to a lot of books and podcasts, and listen to music when I'm working out.

I'm thinking of trying a zune because I would be able to download books directly from the library website, as opposed to checking out the cd's and having to copy them to itunes.

Does anybody have some updated advice on these two products? Thanks.

Get a Zune.

We've got a 30 GB we use when we travel.

They just released the 120 GB version.

They just updated the firmware. Now you can download or just listen to songs through WiFi.
