  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've Got a White Zune 30, and Love it (And it supports Audible Audio Books :) )

The FM Radio is Ok, I don't use it much though, but I do like that If the Station is sending the Meta Data for the music, I can select "Buy" so I can get a copy of the song from the Store.

But there store itself (For the protected music) I don't care for, but I do love that is supports all my MP3s that I've already got.

Did any of you Zune owners have that date issue at new year?

Actually I got of lucky that day.
I had to go to work & didn't bring my Zune, then after work we had an event to go to, so no Zune either.

Next day when I checked it, it was up & functioning normally.

I did, but didn't worry about it. I either would have ended up with a new Zune from MS or it would have fixed itself, which it did.

(I was hoping for the new Zune personally ;) )

i did consider a Zune when my ipod broke but i subsequently go a new one on my house contents insurance. it doesn't seem to have made much of a dent in the ipod's market share, why do you guys think that is. i mean i think the zune does a lot of cool stuff, some things better than the ipod.

Because it doesn't have a pretty little apple on it.

Seriously, iPod was the first mainstream market mp3 player that went big with normal consumers, so it became the household name. Tons of soccer moms ask for the Zune iPod, I'm sure. Much like Klenex is the common name for tissues, even if the brand you have isn't Klenex.

The other thing is that Apple is the fad on the market right now. It's a part of pop culture for eliteists and celebrities.

Just curious if anyone else has one. Im considering getting the Zune 120. I am an mp3, audiobook and podcast freak. Plus it would help my shift go by a lot quicker at the plant where I work at.

I owned one for 3 weeks. I loathed it. I returned it, pod an Ipod and love it. True story.
