The Zune Mp3 Player

Now this is want I'm talking about!!! I bought an iPod a while back and was not happy with it at all. Thank god I bought it at Costco, cause I was able to return it. It totally messed up all my music files by converting them to another file type. I think they were MP4's or something like that, but now Microsoft is coming out with this bad boy in November!

The iPod has a new enemy in town, with an official release date of Nov. 14 in the USA and a $249.99 price tag. The Microsoft Zune opens a new market of "social" music connectivity.
