Zune, about a common as a blue moon?

[markw]

My old flash disk Sandisk was far easier as it works likes a hard drive and read practically every music file type. Simpley right click on the folder and say send to "drive E Sandisk" and poof your music is there ready to play. Plus it used one single AAA battery that lasted 30 hours. Run out of power stick a new battery in - it is less than half the size and weight of the Apple.

I went from a Sandisk m200 to a Zune and hav ethe same two issues. I must use the Zune software for this, and it "marries" the unit to the computer. Likewise, I do miss the replacable AAA battery. Recharging is a pain.
