The Apple iPod has long dominated the world of digital media players, but since November 2006 there has been another player on the field. Microsoft's Zune player is a 30 gigabyte audio and video player with the unique feature of allowing users to temporarily share music with each other.
First, there are a lot of things that the iPod and the Zune have in common. Both come with 30 gigabyte hard drives and are capable of playing audio, podcasts and video in portrait mode, though there are iPods with less memory and that don't include a video capability. They both use USB 2.0 to connect to computers, and they both require an online service to buy, download and manage audio and video.
The Microsoft Zune also comes with preloaded audio and video to give users access to music they might not otherwise hear about. The iPod is a blank slate when you buy it, which you might actually prefer.
