Buy Music For Ipod Touch
Should You Buy a New iPod Touch, or Would You Rather More Options When You Buy Microsoft Zune?
It’s not easy to decide how to best spend almost $300 on a media player. When the average lifespan of a small electronic is usually no longer than 2 years, the price begins to look more expensive by the minute. If you’re like me, you want to know you’re buying a media player that’s worth owning and playing around with for that kind of money, one that’s not going to cause you grief, or wear out in less than 4 months.
Both Apple and Microsoft have solutions to this problem; Apple’s new iPod Touch is a great option, but if you buy Microsoft Zune HD in its new glory, you might be happier yet.
1. Keep it longer – get more battery life: If you want your portable media player to last, you’ll want to buy the brand with the better battery. My experience and research has shown that, not only does Apple’s iPod Touch not even come withint 50% of the advertised 30 hours of battery life per charge, but that Microsoft Zune HD’s battery lasts longer and performs better during movie and music playback. For me, this is a great selling point over the iPod.
2. Find your music easier: Zune HD has better navigation and more intuitive labels than the iPod Touch has. Therefore, you spend more of your time paging through your pictures on the Zune HD than you do scrolling through endless lists of files on the iTouch. Time-wise, it’s a much better trade-off, especially since you don’t have to put up with pressing tiny little icons on the Touch to get where you want to go.
3. Use Zunepass instead of iTunes: I don’t know about you, but I’m not so into that whole pay-per-song bit with iTunes, especially since they come protected. With Zunepass, you pay $14.99 a month and get 10 MP3s to keep each time, plus unlimited music whenever you want. No more putting up with radio stations that don’t really play what you want to hear on iTunes.
