I beg of you please
Help me please

I just purchased a Black Ipod Video 60GB with absolutely no scratch on it. I have music, movies, music videos worth over $1800.00 on it. I'm willing to give it to anyone free please. I will also give that person a $100 as well as a thank you. Get it ASAP. I'm going Zune

My frustration with all these new players is that there is no music only option.

Yes! I have no use for video either. I can't imagine watching a 3 minute music video, much less a two hour movie on a 3 inch screen. Sadly, I don't think there will ever be a music only player, other than a 2gb player with no screen. I guess video is the wave of the future, and electronic companies will forget why these devices got popular to begin with.

I hope that electronics aren't going the way they I think they are. I don't want a phone-video-music-computer-remote control-video game thing all in one.

Now to me, this is old news. I heard this ages ago an I can give u more info, unless its on the link: I cant be bothered.

Microsoft have also said that they will have a Music Store for the Zune (basicly tune with a 'z') as well as, wait for it...., a gaming Zune! Not those stubbie little tetris games, think "Protable Xbox". Now Microsoft has some BIG competition:

Apple (iPod & iTunes)
Creative
iRiver
Panasonic
Toshiba
Sony (Walkman & PSP)
Nintendo

Whats gonna happen with MS? Doesnt look like theyre goin anywhere.

Actually, if Microsoft manages to do everything they want with the Zune, as a platform, not just a music player, then it's gonna be big - see XBox, 360 and XBox Live for reference. That's basically what they're going for but on an even larger scale - complete integration of music, movies, games, online identity, home theater and anything else of that kind. If done right, it's a good thing.

Personally for me, so far the only problem I have with the Zune is really just the looks. The features on the other hand, at least on paper, are very attractive, much more so than iPod. Of course, it's yet to be seen how it plays out in real life.

As for those people who are lamenting the demise of a music-only player - well, first of all they still exist, in the form of the various ultra-small, ultra-mobile 1GB-2GB players. I do agree though, most of those will soon disappear as well, but why is that a problem. You don't have to use the video capabilities if you don't want to. On the other hand players like that have good screens that are much more convenient even if you're only listening to music, and as the technology progresses the difference in price will become negligible. Already now a player like Zen Vision V is only twice as expensive as the the cheap (but still decent) flash players without a "big" screen, and pretty much on par with the quality ones, ditto for iRiver Clix. In time, unless you're going for something extremely small, like the new shuffle, there won't be a justifciation for buying a 50$ 1GB player with 3-line display, over a 60$ 4GB player with a color display.

Send it my way, Saint. boss0192002@yahoo.com

No Zune for me.

I did read on a Dutch website that if you share a file that has no DRM, that then after sharing the file has DRM

I think we people must do something about DRM madness.

Away with DRM!
