        Yeah, they were actually pretty ahead of their time. It was before people had become accustomed to music subscriptions, so that scared a lot of people away. But the fact that it would just automatically sync with your library, and you could download whatever songs you wanted for offline play in the car… It was groundbreaking at the time. Plus it had a built-in FM receiver, so you could listen to the radio while on the go too.

        Heck, I still use my old Zune. Replaced the battery, hard drive, and screen a couple of years ago and the thing is a beast.
