I meant with new zunes. I guess i didn't make that clear. It didn't say refurbished on it so im not positive thats the problem though of course, ill send it in to get a new battery before i try nething else. My old player, a sandisk sansa, had such great battery life i could go almost a week without charging it. doubtless that was a new battery. Anyway, hopefully this made my question a little clearer so i dont look like a dumbass.

Freebase very nice inputs as usual. I too wanted to remain neutral throughout this, but somehow I became the bad guy along the way.
I'm not picking sides but with when you said "You must own a Zune......" it seemed like you looked down upon him for that hence the "......."
Nonetheless this is a stupid thing to argue about.

I have no idea about whether or not it's common in Zunes. It could well be a sign that there's a loose connection elsewhere in it which is creating high resistance or a circuit when it's meant to be off which is draining the battery, rather than it being a dodgy battery itself. I'd have thought that as long as you got it from a reputable retailer they'd be required to state that a product you're buying is refurbished before purchase, so you may well have just gotten a faulty product and you'll need to claim on the manufacturers warranty.

When someone calls my zune an ipod. I correct them and tell them about the differences but it doesn't upset me.

The only thing I really hate about zune are the official earbuds that come with it. I have had to replace them so many times. I learned to just leave them alone and buy different earbuds

I love those earbuds.

They're probably the only ones I've actually liked.

Even the topic title "Why Zune Owners get so upset yaddi yaddi yada" implies all Zune Owners and not just some.

Now perhaps I may have been a little quick to bring up the idea of locking this thread and this is my first official day as a moderator so there will be some bumps like this along the way until I get fully accustomed to the job itself.

The threat of a lockdown was not just based at you Dim Mak, but anyone who wants to start a bitch fest over who's mp3 player is better. I did not mean to make you feel like that comment was directly related to you (perhaps I should have worded it better) and I apologize if I offended you. This thread has potential to turn into a decent debate over the pros and cons of certain mp3 players.
Thankyou and in all honesty I was not trying to start anything, just curious if MOST people felt the same way about their Zunes. Perhaps I did take it a little far with the Zune owner..... comment. For this I am sorry.

you haven't had problems with them? majority of the time the cord starts to warp and I always lose sound in one of them, I had to replace them every 4 months or so it's ridiculous.
