I’ve had it happen to the iPod buds I have. It’s really annoying, so I made myself rap them around a notecard when I’m not using them.

My god I hate when other people post under my username saying stupid things. I have both an iPod and a Zune, but the iPod hasn’t been used since I installed iTunes 8 and got bluescreens-
don’t believe me?

Zune? Shouldn’t this be a pie chart for Vista? Except mebe, change detangling head phones to downloading drivers.

He he, Zune = Microsofts copy of iPod. They even look the same! Can microsoft seriously not come up with a single original thought? Look at their adds now even. “I’m a PC “, now where have I heard that before..
And not only this, but Zune had a retarded programing error which caused a load of them to malfunction. I’m not gona go into spesifics, but if you’re interested google it.
Oh, and PS. iTunes works fine on a mac computer, no freezing states.

I really like my Zune but the video uploading thing is pretty acurate. It just so happens that i’m trying to get my videos over RIGHT NOW. wtf?
Whatever. I just thought it was a good graph. -cheesy thumbs-up-

By: Josh

Josh — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 01:36:14 +0000

This is so true, I’m glad I’m not the only one! Although, I would put converting videos at about 98%.

Same here! It’s a nice picture based syncing software that my wife is able to rip her CD’s, and organize her pictures, and music with. She would never be able to get the hang of iTunes.

Ben — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:57:58 +0000

Wow, everyone took this way more seriously than I did. And I’m the one who made the graph!

Gotta love being the spark that ignited the flame war.

yeah, i love my zune, once i was finally able to get the program to load on my laptop still running xp. as for my desktop running vista, i still can’t get it to work, 8 months after the fact.

By: haley

i actually kind of hate the zune software. not necessarily installation–it just gets on my nerves.
kudos to you on this one.

It looks like someone here is playing pranks on ppl they disagree with by
replying to their comments under their name with them insulting
themselves… it happened to geetard up there too…

I thought it was a cute observation about one person’s experience with their mp3 player. I saw nothing in the chart stating an opinion about their particular model, just an amusing observation.

If it’s an argument over which is better, they all have issues. I’ve never owned an IPod simply because I refuse to become a lemming. I have, however, owned a Rio Karma, a Creative Zen Vision M-30, and a Creative Zen flash player. All have been great with minimal hangups, but no machine is perfect. I will point out that there aren’t as many “lock-ups” with flash players simply because a flash drive is less sensitive to movement and impact. All players have some issues, all have a percentage of problem players that get sent out to the public only to be sent back for service, and all have customer service issues. It is the nature of people to be more vocal when there’s a problem than to be complimentary when there’s none.

Most of that pie chart should be “Trying to get album details/art correct”.

The headphones part made me lol. I spend way too much time untangling stupid headphones, and it makes me say the F word, a lot.

it’s like microsoft’s version of the IPod, rite?

Now everyone stop. It is broken down to a simple statement, Microsoft fails whereas macintosh does not. Therefore, zune fails and iPod reigns dominant. Is there a zune touch, or a zune phone… Nope.

So what conversion of video format was it that was needed. Insofar all of the formats i have wanted to use were compatible. the only one that wasn’t was quicktime which if you have quicktime installed on your computer you may want to get a new computer so your directory is actually clean from ghostlike ram hogging apps

Hey internet, I can fully assure you on many levels that if you’re not retarded Zunes are better, you wanna’ argue now.

Highly accurate. Except you left out the ‘transit and repair time.’

I am now on my 3rd Zune since November– my Zunes have spent more time on FedEx trucks and sitting in the Zune shop than in my house. Ridiculous.

Zune lovers, just realize that the more people that insist that ipods are WAY better, the cheaper zunes will be for those of us who know better!

This is all relative to how often he uses the Zune, he could just listen to music for nanoseconds…

By: zemme

zemme — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:41:09 +0000

are you serious? have you even LOOKED at a zune? you have obviously either no eye sight or are just a complete moron.
youre a complete copy of all the other hundreds of people who use something for ten minutes and think theyre knowledge is all that and a bag of chips. maybe i should use you as a doorstop.
you fail at life.

By: zemme

zemme — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:37:34 +0000

hhmmm. not true.
i love my zune more than any of my bf’s ipods. the only thing ive ever encountered problems with at all is the podcasts – but those are third party and really wernt worth mentioning i guess.

A bit too personal, yeah. And the, “Respond to a comment with the same name to deride that comment,” thing is pretty damn stupid.

I gave it a 3 because it’s a bit funny but would have been better served with “MP3 Player”.

By: Deanna

Deanna — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 18:26:38 +0000

I have a Zune, and I actually really like the software. I think it’s pretty easy to use. It’s true that converting videos to the correct format takes forever, but honestly I don’t spend that much time watching videos on it.

And who has the time to reply to people’s comments using those people’s names so it looks like they’re insulting themselves? That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen.

Wow people are really starting to take a little humor a little too seriously. Come on people, learn how to take a joke! He’s not trying to insult you and your precious mp3 player! Graphs submitted here aren’t supposed to be accurate all the time, they’re just here for fun!

Perhaps you’re spending too much time with your Zune instead of actually interacting with other human beings?

I’ve had a zune since a few months after launch, the price was all ready much lower than launch. It works fine, simple as all hell to install, update firmware, sync music, the only real issue i’ve ever had with it is, none of the damn fm transmitters work at any usable distance(unless you mod them). but you know if you want to hate on the zune, by all means go ahead. . .gotta hate something.

WTF is ZUNE??????????

By: Ben

Don’t think that because I made this graph that I don’t like the Zune. I still think it’s better than a crappy ipod. Now that I have it set up it’s easy to work with. Just thought I’d make a contribution to the site.

By: Ben

Ben — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:47:09 +0000

Negative. You wouldn’t believe the trouble I had installing the Zune software on Vista. I mean, it’s only their flagship OS…
