Criticism
Though the Zune is a Microsoft product, it is not capable of playing music encrypted in Microsoft's own PlaysForSure Format.
While the Zune has built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, it can connect only to another Zune. and it can't wirelessly download new music from a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Songs wirelessly transferred from one Zune to another can only be played three times. After three days, the song expires – regardless of whether or not it has been played. Just playing half the song (or one minute, whichever comes first) counts as one “play.” You can never resend a song to the same friend, nor can a song received from someone else be passed on to a third person. These limitations apply to all files, including copyright-free self-recorded songs and similar. [2]
The software that supports the Zune seems to be very unstable on some Microsoft Windows configurations [3] [4]
Unlike many similar players, the Zune cannot be used as an external hard drive.

Creative Zen:M's are much better than iPod's.iPod's are highly overrated IMO.They can only use Quicktime apps for videos/movies;Zen plays all formats of music and video. Zen's screen is much better.The Zen has drag-and-drop capabilities;iPod does not.Zen has a built in FM tuner;iPod does not.
The only plus to an iPod is that most companies have made accessories for it.
