what do you like better the ipod brand or the zune brand

My personal take on this thing is from the perspective of trying to figure out this stupid Zune. I am not very talented in the computer field, however I would think a PhD would find this thing an absolute waste of money, time, plastic and technology. I really really really hate this thing and plan on returning it very soon to see if I can manage an ipod. The only thing that I can do with this Zune 30GB is download my own CD onto it. Most of the time tho it won't download the whole album. I have tried looking on the Zune marketplace and none of the music I am searching for is not even in the store. This has been the second wasted time of my life next to a bad marriage. Don't bother with a Zune.

THANK YOU. I AM ABOUT TO BUY MY FIRST IPOD AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO GET OR HOW TO USE IT VIA THE COMPUTER AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IT IN A STAND THAT IS SMALL STEREO IN MY ROOM.
