zune

I'm on my third player and it's an 80 gig Zune.  I think it's getting on at least a couple of years old.  I've found it to be reliable and I like it.  If I were to warn anyone away from a player, it would be Toshiba Gigabeat.  Their support was lousy and it quit working on me well before it should have.  They have a newer generation out now.  I can't speak to those.  Also my first, a Creative Labs Zen also croaked on me prematurely.  (ribbit )

As far as Zune marketplace goes, I can't attest.  Most of my stuff is ripped from my CD collection.  I've also added videos from my enhanced CDs.  And I've downloaded some videos from You Tube.  There's several programs out there that allow you to download and convert.

My advice to anyone considering getting a player for the first time is to hold out as long as you can, because they keep getting cheaper and higher capacity.  When I got my first I was kind of thinking that I would only use it for traveling.  Now I'm completely hooked and wouldn't be without one.

Hard to tell if the original post is spam or shameless plug.  I'm willing to give out benefit of the doubt.

I wonder what the average price you pay for your favourite songs will be if you keep this up for 10 years... anyway - is there any point to this thread?

Excuse moi? You have 10 posts and you just come here advertising the Zunes?
