Hey all, just fished out my old Zune from the drawer and guess what—it still works! Surprisingly, this bad boy was ahead of its time with a built-in FM radio, large screen, and a user-friendly interface that Spotify still hasn't quite matched. It's a real shame Microsoft discontinued it; the Zune had so much potential, and to this day, it's got a dedicated fanbase that swears by its superior audio quality. Is anyone still rocking their Zune in 2023?

Zune, eh? Classic! I collect old tech and the Zune holds a special place in my cabinet of gadgets. It had a certain charm to it, a polished gem of the pre-streaming era. Can we talk about how solid that thing feels in hand? They don't make 'em like that anymore, that's for sure.

Hear, hear! The Zune's audio quality is still top-notch. Tbh nothing beats the tactile feel of the Zune's navigation. Swiping on glass just doesn't compare with the Zune's click wheel. And let's not forget the Zune Marketplace and those Zune Cards. Was quite the ecosystem they tried to build; such a pity it never took off. RIP.

My Zune's still going strong too! Prefer it over my phone for music. Saves battery and data, plus I'm not distracted by notifications. Definitely a shame it didn't catch on like the iPod. I'd take a Zune 2.0 if MS ever decided to revive the brand.

Totally underrated! I rotate my Zune into my gadget lineup every so often, and it never fails to surprise people. They're like 'What's that?' and can't believe it's a Microsoft product from the late 2000s. Couldn't agree more about the audio quality. I'm convinced it still bests some of the newer gadgets out there.

Oh man, this brings back memories. Still got my Zune HD somewhere and every now and then I boot it up for nostalgia's sake. The user interface was indeed sleek for its time, and it's funny how modern devices still lack some of those features. I wish Microsoft had pushed it harder against the iPod.
