Except that, in this case, the Zune actually is crap.

  You might actually get downmodded here for not explaining why you think the Zune is crap. Lots of people here agree, but just saying "Its crap" might cause some with long memories to recall the "Scottish Store" skit on SNL but won't add anything to the discussion. I personally found that although the Zune had some compelling features that might have caused me to overlook its clunky form factor, each of those features had some artificial restriction placed on them that made them not useful in real life. For the record, I do not own an Apple player either. My "mp3 player" is a whole box of tiny vaguely shuffle-like 1Gb mini players I got as a lot on ebay. They worked out to be $7 each and I got 20 of them. I gave some to my friends with "mix tapes" on them and filled a bunch of the others with various collections. I never worry about losing them and just grab the one with the tunes I'm in the mood for on my way out. They came in multiple colors so I didn't even bother labeling them. I did spring for a nice pair of headphones. The players actually sound much better than you might expect.

    I actually would buy a Zune over an iPod, mainly because I have so many song files in WMA, and I love the idea of being able to load it via wi-fi and integrate with my media center. Creative would generally be my first choice though due to DivX support.
