The Zune as we know it is gone; long live the Zune HD: 2-4-6-8, what will Microsoft eviscerate? The Zune lineup of 4, 8, 16, 80, and 120GB models.

I have a 3yr old zune 30GB
I hate it!

I loved my old archos 20GB recorder ( drag/drop songs and/or folders and ability to view as explorer and choose as such)

I waited for the 2nd Gen Zune. I really don't understand people who like the old Zune (that plasticy-looking nav wheel looks awful). On the other hand, there's nothing to complain about the new Zunes, and the Zune HD looks fantastic!

I don't like Archos' new devices... I suggest looking into Cowon if you're thinking of getting a new portable device, they've got really nice stuff out now.
