I am not sure what the author meant, but "degraded" is not correctly used in this sentence. "Derided", perhaps? Liam Proven (talk)

message: Someone gt the idea that the Zune 30 can't currently play MPEG-4 video files, and that this feature will be added soon. I don't know where they got their info, but my Zune 30 has played MPEG-4 video files since the day I bought it. How is this a "new" feature? -NordsternMN 02:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Zune (device) cannot currently play natively the mpeg-4 video format.  It needs to transcode (convert) the mpeg4 (xvid) video into native format for the device to accept and play.  The only good news is that it saves time and uses industry wide standard video format which few use atm.  The news was mentioned on many blogs and on a microsoft zune team blog. - 6etonyourfeet (talk?) 04:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Just a while ago, I noticed that this article described the zune as a product from microsoft to "fight back against apple inc."
First of all, that just sounds weird. We might as well get all of our zunes to "fight" the evil apple company, right? >.>
I will change this statement into "This is microsoft's attempt to compete with apple's ipod".
"Zune's primary competitors are the Apple iTunes/iPod product line and the SanDisk Sansa line."
Does this line even matter?  It is possible that the "primary" competitors could change monthly or even weekly.  I think deep down the point that is trying to be made is that, MS is trying to compete with the big digital music player makers by making a similar player.  What about other players, the Zen for example.  I think a statement saying something like "The Zune is MS's attempt to compete in the portable digital entertainmnet market" or something.  Not to mention that for music purchases you have cd's, Rhapsody, napster, and Amazon, amongst other smaller sellers too.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xcalibur27 (talk • contribs) 20:05, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The colors listed in the specifications table on the "Colors" should be those listed by Microsoft. Those are the colors that are part of the Zune specifications.
Third party custom modifications shouldn't be listed, at least not in the specifications table, because they form no part of the specifications for the device. The fact that you can paint an 80 MB Zune red does not mean that the specifications for the 80 MB Zune include a red color, any more than the replacing the disk drive with a larger one would mean that there is a 100 MB Zune.

message: I'm deleting the comment that game developed with an "early" version of XNA Game Studio 
:can be deployed and played on the Zune, but only by those with the developers tools.
This is irrelevant, as are various other capabilities that ingenious tinkerers can add to a Zune, because they are not in Microsoft's specs and are thus not capabilities of the Zune product as manufactured and released by Microsoft.
RIght now, Microsoft's official summary description of the Zune product line does not mention the word "games," nor do the specs
The fact that a modified Zune can play them is as irrelevant as the fact that a modified classic Mac can be used to raise live tropical fish. It can be and it has been, but a Mac is not an aquarium.
That developers tools are available is interesting, relevant, and certainly lends credence to the likelihood that factory-issued Zunes will have game-playing capability in the future. The fact that motivated users can hot-rod a Zune to play games now says much more about motivated users than it says about Zunes.Dpbsmith (talk) 21:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Zune 8 gb worth 99.99 usd 

message: Just because the Zune HD is being released on September 15th, doesn't mean that the 4.0 software will be released then as well. It's quite possible that Microsoft will put the software out sooner so that people that are going to buy the Zune HD will already have the right software.

thread_title:  Zune 4.0 Software Date 

message: Just now, AppleInsider and SuperSite Blog reported that Microsoft has discontinued the entire Zune lineup, except for the Zune HD which will be released on the 15th. The flash-based Zune 4, 8, 16 and hard drive-based Zune 80, 120 are no longer being offered by Microsoft until its inventory runs out. Also the Zune 30 is no longer sold from the Zune website. That leaves only the Zune HD with the 16 GB black and 32 GB plantinum verisons. —Terrence and Phillip 00:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Discontinued products 

message: I would like to create a Zune Marketplace article. The reason why I would like to create a Zune marketplace article is the Zune Marketplace is notable.
There is a seperate article on iTunes Store. The Zune Marketplace is comparable to the iTunes store.
I have a almost-complete version at User:Evosoho/Development/Zune Marketplace. I am proposing to split the Zune article into two articles: Zune and Zune Marketplace.
Any objections? --evo talk contribs 13:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Zune's marketshare (before Zune HD) is at best 2%, with some figures showing it to be as low as 1%. I think this deserves some mention. NPD's numbers in the article are dated and deceiving. --Aizuku (talk) 10:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Originals 

message: This article seems very confused and jumbled just now. I improved the Zune Marketplace section, which was outdated with regard to availability outside the USA. But I think the article as a whole needs to be changed; there is this emphasis on the Zune devices, and Microsoft is now de-emphasising the devices and focusing on Zune as a service for Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox. This is something that needs to be made clearer imo. CalumCookable (talk) 18:55, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion 

message: I noticed the former Zune feature know to as "squirting", which allows one to wirelessly send a song between two Zunes, is not mentioned anywhere in the article even though it was a much talked about and ridiculed name when the Zune first came out. Here is a link that discusses "squirting" with a Zune: http://www.newsweek.com/2006/11/26/zune-should-go-beyond-squirting.html
Sholdn't this at least mentioned briefly? --Cab88 (talk) 21:41, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why isn't squirting mentioned in the article? 

message: I have changed the beginning of this article slightly, changing "was" to "is" and making a note that the hardware was discontinued instead, since the Zune brand still exists, even while the media players may be discontinued. The software for Windows Phone 7 is still branded as Zune software and for the foreseeable future will be continued to be branded as such. Shanerator2 (talk) 14:29, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Zune "was" a digital media brand 

message: The word first appears in the "Legacy" section, second paragraph, without explanation.  WTF is a "manjoo"??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.206.184.169 (talk) 09:26, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Manjoo??

message: It says in the sales section about the Zune's market share being only behind apple with 9% (and later the same year at 10% according to NPD).
Botht he above are wrong, as according to this source, SOURCE TB, Mach Speed devices had 19% of the market. So i think we can keep the same structure but just add names in the middle.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leeroyhim (talk • contribs) 02:16, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
