I just purchased my Zune! I bought a black one and have loaded it up with my catalog - previously managed by iTunes. Everything sync'd up great and I've been enjoying my music more than ever!

I'm both a music and a tech person, but probably more tech these days than when I was younger. I am pro-Microsoft (I work for a Gold Certified Partner). We have an XBox in the house, but not an XBox 360.

I've been listening to a lot of Dave Matthews lately, as well as reaquainting myself with some old Styx CD's.

I'm located in KC and have a nice shot of Kauffman Stadium as the background on my Zune.

I'm in jackson, ms and I love my brown Zune! I love technology, but not as much as music you see...I have an XBOX and a 360. When will the zune marketplace have video?! I also would like to download talk radio to my zune!

I'm Hanford. I'm in Sillicon Valley. I am a game designer, UI designer, and product designer. I've worked on some Mp3 players, most notably the Rio and a bit on the SoundBridge. I'm frustrated with the state of the music playback industry; I don't see enough innovation in making things simpler, reducing button clicks, and overall breaking us out of the Artist/Album/Genre style of playback. I am hoping Zune helps break up the monotony. I don't own a Zune.

Hey I'm Paul from Overland Park, KS. I have a black Zune which I purchased on November 14th and couldn't be more excited to own it! I have not found another Zune user locally, so if you are from the KC area, hit me up. I am more of a music person and really like My Chemical Romance these days.

Oh and of course I own both the original Xbox and 360.

Howdy, I'm Zenek, hailing you all from Jacksonville Florida. I'm loving my Zune, it's my 1st MP3 player- and I'm glad I waited for it. (Also enjoying my Xbox 360, with HD Drive, Live, Camera, wireless controllers, and Kameo: Elements of Power!) Zunearts is a wonderful website and I hope that more's added to it soon. It really is all about finding new music for me, and Microsoft has really taken my attention from Nintendo too, as M RARELY puts our rubbish. (Actually nothing bad since before the 360's launch!) I'll send you a cool place for your MP3 Friday, Cesar. Long-time reader, glad to take that step into the Social.

Hey, I'm Ben from building 42. My recent Zune triumph was hooking the video output into my car nav system. Check it out over at on10.net

http://on10.net/blogs/duncan/hooking-zune-up-to-a-monitor-in-car/

Full video output (for music, menus, etc) is easily my favorite feature. I'm a tech guy, but I saw Boy Least Likely To play at Chop Suey in Seattle a couple months ago and I've been addicted to them.

Hi, I'm Terry Gold. My Zune arrived the first day they shipped from Amazon.com and I love it. I tried the 14 day free Zune pass and got hooked. My company is a Microsoft partner, so I'm sure I look biased, but really - the Zune is better than the iPod for me (I've owned 3 ipods) and I like the Zune software better than iTunes. Not only do I like the device, I'm listening to (and paying for) more music than ever before.

Just noticed your bio Cesar - I love my Xbox too!

ZuneAdopt:Yes

Other Zuneatics:No

Music or Techie: Both

Music: Electronica/House/Live DJ Sets

Xbox:No

Random thoughts: Decision to buy zune was really spontaneous; no real interest in this or similar devices before release(I recently sold my Creative Zen 30Gb - cumbersome device, experiense sucked). I read about Zune in several blogs, really liked design, different from what I've seen in the market so far(hated iPod's girlie design), then went to local BB, played with interface, really liked the intuitiveness and simplicity, and 3 days later purchased the named device - so far so good, some quirks here and there, but i love to be early adopter, as I see future in this device.

Hi my name is Bryant and I am from Miami. I do have a (black) Zune and I love it. I have sent one song to another Zune that was left at someones house- I don't know who it was lol!

I am really into music and video games. I really enjoy playing with my Wii and 360 as well as my DS. I an biased towards Nintendo but I have to give M$ mad props for coming out with Halo.

Some random info... I think the best invention ever is the pocket- it is so useful. I like pizza (doesn't everybody?). And I am secretly in love with Cesar Menendez: the online latin heartthrob.

Hi, my name is Andrea from Germany,

I don't own a Zune so far and I have never had an iPod before.

I started my Website about Zune because I was hoping to give lots of new information about Zune for the german people.

It's a lot fun and also work, to translate all the Zune information into German.

As I read today, MS is planning to bring the Zune on the market in Europe not before the end of 2007. Thats a pity, but what I found mesmerizing is the fact, that they're gonna give Zunes to some people in Europe to test and give there feedback for furter rework on the Zune for Eorope.

If that was true, where may I applicate to be a test user? I guess it would be a good idea to give them also to the people who are running websites about it? Please let me know .....

cheers

Andrea

I'm a techie who loves music (most Genres) ... own two Nano's, a Sansa (love the FM radio and audio recording), a Xbox + MCE hooked to a large Sharp Aquous, Axim, iPaq, 5 laptops and 2 servers. My spouse and kids love the iPods; the Zune is all mine (the Zune Car Pack and FM transmitter rocks). Our other car has a reciever that can control the iPod via a cable that was bought before I had heard of a Zune. I have a large CD collection that I am slowly uploading to my Zune library. I have 4000+ songs, 80+ videos and 500+ pictures on my Zune and I listen to it 5+ hours every single day. Bought my Zune on the release day but have yet to see another Zune with wireless enabled in any Starbucks or Airport but I will keep looking ... looking forward to firmware updates when they are ready ... the potential is endless ...

I'm Greg Piper, a reporter with Warren Communications News in Washington DC. Haven't played with the Zune yet but occasionally I write about its functions like DRM and the music store.

I'm Adrian from Oxford UK. I got my Zune via Ebay ;)

As yet I've not found another Zune, but then it's not out here ;)

I listen to alot more music since I got my zune. Am currently listening to Bloc Party, The Shins, The Fray, The Fratellis & Garden State Soundtrack

I do have an Xbox 360, and often watch video from Zune on it, though I wish it wouldn't resize them to a smaller res, as they don't always look that great on a HDTV :(
