Zune fupped?..if so I need a new player

    It looks like my Zune is a goner, the screen wont show anything but its still turning on, I can hear the music and I can see the screen light up but no info is showing up :(
    wonder can this be fixed?
    seems to have happened as a result of cycling with it in my pocket and it got a bit hot/sweaty :o

    So if it is a gonner then Im wondering whats out there on the market that one could recommend?
    I havent been following the latest players since I bought the Zune 2 years ago.
    to date Ive had a creative zen, cowon iaudio 5 and now a zune.
    any of these brands have new players worth getting?
    • What I need is decent capacity, say 30gb+
    • A radio
    • and User friendy software, anything more is a bonus.
    • And anything other than an iPod.

    any suggestions welcome. cheers

    Zune HD or Cowon S9 would get my vote.

    These, but replace the S9 with Cowon J3.

    Also check out the now discontinued Sony X1060.

    The J3/S9/X1060 require no software, but you can use something like mediamonkey if you like, then the Zune software you're used to I'd say

    I need something with equal to or above the 32gb mark, I had a look and the S9, J3 or Zune Hd dont seem to have higher capacity..not on amazon.co.uk anyway. are there any other options/models?

    Its a Zune 30 that has given up on me, Id be happy to get another one.
    Since i have a docking station for it and was happy with it.
    I had a look on amazon/ebay, one for sale but does anyone know any other reliable seller online for the zune 30?

    Check for a seller called thecheetahexpress on ebay, shipped mine promptly from UK.

    All three of the above come in 32gb options, the Zune HD even has a 64gb option and the Cowon J3 has a MicroSd slot allowing expansion by another 32gb. Amazon may not stock them at the moment, but they are available.


    Best of luck in your search.

    It was a Zune HD I bought from them. I doubt you'll find any zune 30s for sale unless you check the likes of dealextreme who were clearing off old stock some time back.
