Title: My First ZUNE – My Last CD!
Tags: ZUNE
Blog Entry: This weekend was a special one. Besides being a 3-day weekend, I was given a brand new ZUNE from my wife. My birthday is coming up in March and my woman was so generous to let me get the ZUNE early enough to fill it with music for our cruise in April. It is funny because the same woman who bought me my first Ipod was now buying me a ZUNE. I know that you are asking why would she do that? Well to be honest when I got the Ipod I did not have the best of computers. It was a dinosaur that I used to create Skope Magazine so it had seen better days. I was able to download whatever music I already had onto my Ipod but that was it. So I was stuck with 270 songs. When you work out 4 times a week like my wife & I do, those songs get played out quick. Last year I ditched the PC and gave it to one of the movers that moved us from Boston to Melrose, MA. I then treated myself to a new Windows Vista laptop. Now I really could not use my Ipod. I knew I needed to get down with the ZUNE and fast. I have no problem with that, as I have always been more of an MS guy anyway. So I get the ZUNE from Best Buy, grab a six-pack of Bud Light, a little bourbon and I am ready to play. I am not the most technological, but the ZUNE was very easy to set up. They really make it very easy for anyone. It works perfectly with the Vista, which I was very happy about. So now two days later I am in love with my ZUNE. I gave my Ipod to my wife, which she was very happy about. I have already spent over $100 in downloads. I bought downloads from 50 Cent, DJ Khaled, Fall Out Boy, Matchbox 20, Cassidy, and much more! When I was growing up I was a huge music consumer. I am back to where I was at 12 years old. I love that I can just buy the songs that I like and ignore the ones that I don’t. The fact that I also work at Skope will make sure that I am exposed to all sorts of new music. I wonder if I will ever buy a CD again? As of now I doubt it but one thing for sure I will continue to buy from ZUNE’s marketplace. I cannot wait to go home & do some more downloads. The music industry is healthy in the Friedman household! www.zune.net PS: Any cool Podcasts, video, or download suggestions please send them along!
