[@geoffreyporter7567]

I had a (brown) Gen 1 Zune back in high school and the first couple of years of college, and, despite the hardware issues, the subscription model was actually a game changer. At the time, being able to download unlimited music and put it on a mobile device felt like a cheat code, and I legitimately don’t think I’ve ever been more into music than I was during that period. In a pre music streaming world, it was legitimately incredible to be able to explore new bands with no restrictions. It was such a great feature that, even though I switched back to the Apple ecosystem in like 2008 when I moved over to iPhone, I still ended up buying a separate Gen 2 Zune to listen to music on. For all of its faults, if Microsoft had found a way to better capitalize on and evolve that particular business model, who knows? Maybe we would all have Zune subscriptions instead of Spotify today.

[@qazmko22]

Looking at what Microsoft, knew was on the horizon with a psudo-social media app like spoify (i.e. wrapped, sharing playlists, etc.) they were away ahead of the times.. too bad people didn't see it.

[@tdrg_]

The Zune was released way too late and didn’t bring anything game-changing. For a consumer, there was no incentive to buy a Zune instead of an iPod.

[@writerpatrick]

There were also other mp3 players on the market. Those who could afford one had already bought something by the time the Zune came out.

[@CybrSteel]

Amazing summary! You saved me 24 minutes.

[@staringcorgi6475]

They did not learn their lessons when the windows phone was made

[@drfsupercenter]

My incentive was that I really hated Apple and thought the iPod interface was moronic (I still do), and the Zune was just a much more logical approach to a mass storage based mp3 player. Yes there were other players on the market, and I had several Sandisk Sansas and Creative MuVos or whatever, but those were cheap flash-based ones with tiny displays. Zune was amazing for watching movies on... yeah the resolution was the same as the iPod but you didn't have to squint. I put entire seasons of Family Guy on there and would watch it in school

[@captainrag]

Zune also had a streaming music service before anyone else. Some of the features were ahead of its time. By the second gen they nailed everything but the iPhone came out.

Same, except I got mine when in high school. These retrospective videos pointing out that the iPhone came out at the same time as the Zune really seem to be from a mindset of "we all had unlimited money and knew every cutting edge piece of tech that was being made" which just wasn't true. Zune was a much better choice for me than iPod for several reasons and I went with that instead.

[@joesalyers]

I had a friend who had the Zune and since we were in the same band we would add songs to our iPods to go home and learn to play at shows. I asked him why he had a ZUNE instead of the iPod because he always had to bring his laptop just to add music to the Zune (might as well just use the laptop). He said "I didn't buy it...I won it at a giveaway, there is no way I would buy this hunk of junk! The words Hunk of Junk inspired an original song by the same name about a guy who buys all the latest electronics and discards them in a pile once they fall out of fashion!

[@conor7154]

I also do stream music because it if of even higher quality than my purchased music. Of course I also have high end earbuds and headphones. I am a novice audio file.

[@wht-rabt-obj]

Wow...Ballmer dropped the ball on a LOT of things at Microsoft 😮😂

[@blueface]

When I was in my teens I would go through a wide range of MP3 players because my friends and I would just trade em around with each other. I had a Mini Disc player, iPod, Dell Musicbox or whatever it was called, a whole bunch of knockoffs, and a Zune. I stuck with the Zune for a quite awhile and never understood the hate besides getting music on it, that I remember was a constant battle. I forget what I traded the Zune for eventually but it sucks it never really took off because it was a neat little device with a nice OS. My sister also had a Zune mini and she used it for years until it eventually died on her.

[@TheAlphaWoomy]

I bought a Zune when it originally came out and I liked it very much, once the iPhone 3G came out I just wanted one device so I switched. After the iPhone 4 I didn’t have a cell phone for years but when I came back I got into Windows Mobile until it was discontinued and went back to iPhone. I loved Windows mobile

[@devaraft]

I don't know that subscription model exist. That's such a deal. If only they focus around that model and also just had a better marketing team

[@DoublePlus-Ungood]

My GF at the time had a Zune and we both liked it but it was F'd up, as mentioned, by MS. I do have to disagree that the Ipod was a comparatively "easy" experience. Same GF got me a nano with the screen, super cool looking, went to put MY burned CD's on it...Apple said "Nope" and though I was gonna buy them AGAIN. Told her sorry and asked for receipt, went to Best Buy, got me a Sansa Clip and NEVER looked at Apple again.

[@thecapone45]

OMG I LOVED ZUNE!! The screen looked better than an iPod and the features it had were so good!! It actually had a radio tuner and I LOVED the feature where it would search for music and add it to your zune. Finally, it had WIFI SYNC before iPod ever had it! Not to mention it had an OLED screen, something people griped about iPods not having. Much like how today, we gripe about iPhones not having 120 hz screens as a standard.

[@drfsupercenter]

Yeah, and not even just wireless syncing but after an update you could download music on it using wi-fi too, no computer needed. You did have to have Zune Pass or points in your account, but that much should be obvious. It was just so much better than iPod, but sadly the Apple culture won

[@thecapone45]

@ aw man I’d forgotten about zune pass. I wasn’t such a huge apple fan back then, but I do remember thinking how much nicer of a product it was than the iPod touch… yet so many folks bought the iPod. Zune didn’t have many apps.

[@drfsupercenter]

@@thecapone45 Yeah, Zune Pass was really ahead of the curve when it came to music subscriptions... though I was never interested in paying for it and don't pay for them now either. I prefer to own my music and pay for songs I like. Zune HD was cool in theory, and I loved playing Audiosurf with music on my Zune using the gyroscope - but it infuriated me that there were no pressable buttons on the thing besides the power and home button, so if you wanted to do something like change the volume or quickly mute a song (e.g. when someone tries to talk to you with your headphones in) you have to wake up the touch screen and tap it. Dumb... pretty sure the iPod Touch always had a physical volume rocker. If Zune HD had that it would have been great. I kept using my 80GB Zune even after getting the HD

[@ryanpaige1]

I won a Zune in some sort of online contest (2nd generation '80' model). I tried to get it to work, but I wasn't able to get a single song on it. I already had an iPod Nano, so i wasn't too motivated to get the Zune working.

[@HyperBear]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED MY ALL MY ZUNES!!! had a gen 1 30gb white, a gen 2 8gb blue and the Zune HD 32gb platinum, and they were the best standalone mp3 players I ever owned.

Back in 2006 I received a zune for birthday, compared to my 20gb iPod 4g it seemed like it could be a serious competitor for apple devices, the color screen looked very promising, the translucent black greenish color, radio and WiFi, all the automatic ID metadata additions or the albums, games, and so. It was a great device until the moment I tried to install its software, I’ve tried on 17 different all the ones PCs at home, all the ones at school and my dads office also and I can’t install it neither the incluided cd neither the software downloaded from their web despite it launched a new one practically each week. So my parents returned it to the store and I got a new iPod video, I never had any issue with iTunes, i can still sync all my iPods without any problem, even now that iTunes disappeared on the new macOS it can sync over finder’s music section

[@AllenSchoepflin]

I feel like this is pretty eye opening to the iphone user's mindset in the iphone vs android debate. A lot of them will argue that apple is "just better" regardless of any argument to the contrary. Seeing this, however, makes me think that that argument started back when the ipod was legitimately just better; being more functional, user friendly, and less weird than it's largest mainstream competition. Then that sentiment naturally carried over to the first iphone, bringing us today.

[@lulzjeffy1337]

The Zune, like a lot of Microsoft's endeavors, was a victim of being a trend follower instead of a trendsetter. Microsoft are always just one step behind and can never capture the market the way Apple has. The thing that's ironic is that some could argue that the Zune actually was the superior product when you look at its features and specs, but the iPod's simplicity is what made it king. And Apple's marketing machine is WAY more powerful than Microsoft could ever dream to touch. The Apple brand and iPod had a significant cultural impact on its generation, and that's why people chose Apple even if the Zune was "the better product" on paper.

[@D_Roadtrip_Productions]

first time i heard of Zune was when Bill Gates sat on stage next to Steve Jobs. i wanted to know Microsoft's take on it, but all the retail stores were out of stock. so i envisioned Zune to ve a marvelous thing. i liked the Zune logo appearing online and i did not know most of the pros and cons described here.

[@martinaguilar5905]

This was what I first planned on buying back then when it came to Microsoft's Zune. Thanks to this video, I was wondering what happened to the Zune and now I know. I got the iPod Touch 4th Generation on Christmas Day of 2010 as a gift and glad I got the iPod Touch instead of the Zune. I did not have to connect the iPod Touch to a computer and used WiFi instead. I used the iPod Touch for internet access and listen to music online. This video and the other video explaining the fate of the Microsoft Phone explained why both devices did not live up to the claims Microsoft had made for the Microsoft Phone and Zune devices including the technological problems. The software used for the Zune glad I did not have to deal with what sounded like a huge headache.

Microsoft's attempts to seem cool were arguably worse than the early technical issues. It had the whiff of a company that normally makes office software trying to be your hipster friend who runs an indie music label. Apple already some cachet before the iPod even shipped, and it had a great ad agency (Chiat/Day) that knew how to get just that right amount of cool.

I remember seeing a zoom at a Chuck e cheese's slot machine .. I always knew that it was some sort of MP3 player . And I'll always curious about it. But I never got one. And after seeing this video.. I am so glad I never did . I'm getting anxiety and anger just seeing all the problems it had.. But to go through it and experience it myself first hand... I probably would have threw it and destroyed it
