Do I have the same Zune? I love mine!

I'm not sure what some of the reviewers are talking about. I picked up my Zune on Boxing Day and had it up and running within 5 minutes of turning on my laptop. The software is easy to download and easy to install. I also have an eMusic subscription  and it has played every download I've purchased. I can't comment on using it as a flash drive right out of the box because I never did that. I didn't even think about doing that actually. Also I never tried to create folders within my Zune. Never thought about doing that either.

The Zune Social is a great networking site as well. If you sign up (free) you can add friends based on musical tastes and end up discovering new bands/artists. Your Zune tracks your plays and ranks your artists according to the most listened to. This number is displayed on your Zune card and soon it becomes a competition.

One thing that Canadians do have to watch out for... the Zune Marketpace doesn't exist for Canadian users. But by the sounds of it, Microsoft needs to work a few kinks out anyway.
