I borrowed a friend's 2GB IPOD NANO and liked it enough to decide to get my own player with more capacity, but the IPOD music syncing process is really annoying I found. I can't add just one song without having to re-sync everything.
I was looking at either the 16GB IPOD NANO or the 16GB ZUNE. The thing is, even though the MSRP on Microsoft's website says "$179.99", Amazon has it for "379.99". ...what....?
Anyone have an input on what I should get?
I never used a Zune, so I can't really comment on it, but I wanted to clear up that the syncing issue with the iPod you mentioned isn't true.

If you get an iPod, when you first hook it up to a computer, make sure you disable the auto-syncing thing (which matches up the iPod with the library on your computer). Once you do that you can add 1 song at a time, or delete specific songs, or whatever you want to do.
