Even played through $30 headphones, the audio quality over a 128 kbps MP3 is dramatic.  I kinda wish I hadn&#8217;t ripped all my CDs into 128 kbps just to save a little drive space.  I&#8217;d still use MP3 as support is so ubiquitous.<\/li>\n<li>The preloaded content is a blast.  Having so many music videos, video clips, pictures and music right out of the box was a great idea.

Don&#8217;t partner the Zune up to any old computer thinking you&#8217;ll just re-partner to your media machine later.  If you need to change the partnership, all content on the device is removed, including the preloaded stuff.
