as for the genius feature, i can still use itunes to create the playlist and then simply export that playlist to the zune software in a few seconds...

plus with a comparable ipod, i wouldn't have the better screen for video or wireless sync, and next to the zune the controls on my ipod feel very cheap and plastic

so, take your money and make your choice, apple were very good when my first ipod decided to melt and catch fire when connected to the USB port though

For me, playlists have become pretty much useless since genius arrived, with the exception of using them to sync music to a ipod.

The screen on my iPhone is good, and so is the one on my girlfriends itouch, though you don't get much storage with either

have a sony nwa cos the battery lasts more than 5 mins.....


whats this genius feature you speak of?

It's where you select a song and itunes creates a playlist from that song. I like it because it comes up with different playlists to me, different playlist every time. I think it's a really nice feature, but other people probably think its crap.

I recently turned to the dark side of apple as work bought me an iPhone, I must admit the genius is just that, works really well for me as I walk out of work, pick a song and 24 similar songs are selected (handy as my music library varies wildly)
It's a good job they have genius though as the shuffle function seems seriously flawed, i'm sure it just plays the same songs in the same order depending on where you start the shuffle from.

not sure i'd get an ipod though, more storage space would be nice but I do like having my stuff there as a removable storage device. ah well just my opinion being recently converted.
