- MartinCron 13y agoYeah, Zune was a market failure, but it was a really great product that was totally underrated.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoI tried to buy one not long ago and was sad that they had been discontinued. I don't know if this is still the case today (or even relevant in the world of smartphones) but I could not for the life of me find an MP3 player with an FM tuner in it. But the Zune had one, did it not?
- MartinCron 13y agoI'm pretty sure it did have an FM tuner in it. Also, the new iPod Nano has FM, if you're still in the market. http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/
- BlackDeath3 13y agoVery cool. Thanks for the link!

But the Zune had one, did it not? A Nokia Lumia 520 is dirt-cheap and has an FM tuner. All you have to do is to pretend that it isn't also a phone.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoDoes it function poorly as a phone?
- tanzam75 13y agoNo, it functions fine as a phone. You said you were looking for an MP3 player with FM radio, and couldn't find one. I just meant that you could've found what you needed by expanding your search to include phones.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoI have considered phones, hence the smartphone comment above in my post. Before this time last year, I'd never owned a smartphone before, and hence they weren't on my radar too much when I was looking for a device that included an FM tuner. Either way, thanks for the suggestion.
- skywhopper 13y agoRight, my point is that they didn't have the guts to stick with that product or the brand. It didn't do well after a couple of revisions, and they dropped it for the newest unified marketing idea.
