You can create subfolders in the Music folder on your Android, and it will only play the music in that subfolder when you select it.

That sounded funny.

DJ what's so great about the Zune? I'm serious: when I was looking at getting a new player I checked it out but when I saw they didn't make it any more I just forgot about it. What has it over other players can you tell me? I might invest.

Maybe.

Thanks

I was really interested in getting a Zune, but it was never released in UK was it??
I looked at Cowen products as well but i always knew i'd end up with a Sony Walkman...

The bonus features over other players is that it has a wireless feature but the joy of that feature was dependant on others having a zune. You could find other zune users and send them songs.

I also liked that it had a radio tuner so if I was bored with my music collection I would just use that instead.

The benefits of me getting another Zune is different from a new user. I still have a monthly sub to unlimited downloads that I transfer to my device. I also miss being able to sync up my portable plays with lastfm.

The only benefit I could see for a new user would be having a high capacity player but the classic iPod has 40 GB more than Zune's highest capacity of 120.

OK thanks that sort of ends that. My X-Fi has wireless (don't use it), I never listen to the radio and the only sub I have is to Spotify which I can listen to if I want on my Samsung Galaxy S4 but usually prefer to just listen to on my PC.

So nothing there that attracts me. But thanks for the info.

Edit: as per the previous poster, it seems the Zune was not available here? Well that definitely seals it! Guess I'm left with my Creatives...

Edit edit: Incorrect it would seem...
