I miss zunes
fuck the software though, and apparently they can brick without warning (rip my specific zune)

I had the chocolate and green zune. Had some great memories as a kid with that thing.

Unironically liked the software, liked how you could get a mini player that looked like a little zune.

everyday this thread gets lest replies and it makes me sad

just stream nerds

The zune desktop software was some of the best I have ever used for podcast management

im gonna do it lads

Cheer up fren :)

stretch and get at least 256gb its never enough...

Yeah, 256 GB isnt much more. I'll go with that.

Finally fixed all the album art and tags in my huge 12" Vinyl Library. Been absolutely loving this combo lately. So purty.

I still have a Zune HD. What should I do with it to improve the experience?

Does it have a line out?

it has 3.5mm and the proprietary connector

Just pre-ordered this. Hopefully I won't regret it. Doesn't ship til the 3rd but I'll post pics when it comes in.

It had a line-out via a dock, but you're better off using a pc or laptop at that point.

thinking about buying a 3rd gen ipod nano. idk i just really like the looks of it.
maxes out at 8Gb tho :(

8gb is plenty for a bunch of aac encoded files.

Not just for podcast management, it was well fleshed out ahead of it's time. Dynamic mixes, searches from both the store and your library, good queueing options, easy to use sync functions and copying from devices.

My old workplace used it over iTunes with a Zune pass before spotify was even nearly fleshed out. Couple of people had zunes too and could easily build and copy playlists on their way to work.

Top tier software, the music and video management was trash however.

The actual dap has the amp attached, although I've seen the original pic with the other amps and batteries attached. The color is probably closer to the official copper color in real life.

that's not line out you're just amplifying the shit sound you absolute mong

Did hd radio ever take off? Not a cager so only ever used my zune hd for a couple nice stations there were in my city.

as the owner of a A45: you did well. have fun with it!

I love my ZuneHD but on linux it's a fucking pain to sync so I don't. The software can't handle flac, and syncing to it with any other program always leads to "unknown artist" because the zune has some sort of fucking extra metadata it uses to sort that.

Stations basically had two choices with DAB: Provide high bitrate audio, or cram multiple streams of worse-than-FM audio in the same bandwidth as a regular stream.
Guess which option they chose.

r8 my adapter

My Zune isn't connecting to my PC very well anymore. Sometimes it won't connect at all. It makes me very sad.

Look maybe it's just me but current year not being able to play FLAC files should be punishable by law

Attached: pieceof-horseshit.jpg (540x720, 103K)

i use wav files myself.

You gotta be kidding me right ?

I have been playing .flac on my iPhone for years... Foobar 2000 nigga.... and i just drag and drop it into the documents folder from linux too.

Attached: image.jpg (2448x3264, 3.67M)

how do they compare to ipods? and can you upgrade the storage easily?

I even filled my old iPhone 6 up with and played 24bit/48khz .flac all the time before i went full Zishan. Shit sounded Great.

RIP JACK
RIP CANOPERNER (app)

Just convert to alac, or what this guy said.

They have the same zif hard drives as iPods

They are equally retarded. You would be an absolute fool to spend money on one when you can get a modern chink DAP

would it work with my iflash board then?
only reason i like it is because its fairly large link some chink daps
