            <description>rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phoenix5794 - I do not own the Microsoft Zune&amp;#153; Black (30 GB) Digital Media Player, but I would if Shopping.com was accurate towards their pricing guide. When I was ready to purchase this mp3 player, I went to buy it from Circuit City for $99, since I found that to be...</description>

            <description>rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smooney3 - I know the Zune gets a lot of negative reviews, for whatever reason. Of course, well all know that it is not necessarily getting those reviews for what it is, but for what it ISN&apos;T. Which is to say, it isn&apos;t an iPod. I don&apos;t want to step on any toes...</description>

            <description>rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author godzero - I always have liked Microsoft company for their electronic products more than the Apple company for theirs. I should have realized that it was only a matter of time before what seemed to be unbeatable would be overtaken. Now the only thing that I really...</description>

            <title>Microsoft Zune&amp;#191; Black (30 GB) Digital Media Player (JS8-00001): Zune Review - Unbiased Zune vs 5G iPod &quot;Video&quot;</title>

            <description>rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author i64x - Physical Differences First up, and maybe most important, is size. The 60GB iPod video is currently (well until they came out with the new 80GB) the thickest 5G iPod there is - and it&apos;s not very thick at all. They managed to cram a lot of stuff in to a...</description>

            <description>rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azure_risk - iPod. It&apos;s a word and a product that everyone knows about. It&apos;s set the standard for every mp3 player that came after it. It started a music listening and purchasing revolution. Heck, it even started a trend of companies putting &quot;i&quot; before everything...</description>
