Presentation doesn't matter to everyone though. I'd want that 120GB model for my music collection. Shame they are getting rid of it.
When its time for me to get another high capacity MP3 player it looks like I'll have to go the iPod route... again.

won't the battery run out long before you even get past 1 gig of music, or have you got a solar charger & are engaged in a record attempt of the longest run possible to enable me to listen to the entirety of my mp3 player, call me in 5 years!

how much time do ppl actually spend with their mp3 player plugged in? if i were say a child, i would walk more and use it more but i only ever use mine when i jog or commute say 3 hours a day at the most. i have a life the rest of the time, i dont need to play my pc/console while watching the telly with my mp3 player plugged in like some emotionally disturbed ADHAadolescent, keep takin the Ritalin!
if i put every piece of music on a mp3 player i would never be able listen to the entirety before i die, especially since every week there is new music released so i do not understand the argument of listening to the same old stuff.
"cant afford" omg that is the lamest sales pitch in existence & anybody over the age of 15 or under has dismissed this as pathetic!

I don't understand....if you don't need 160GB then don't buy it, why are you hating on a guy that has use for 160GB? What you just stated is what works for YOU...not what works for everyone else. Nobody is telling you how to listen to your music so don't try to preach your music listening habits (nobody cares anyway) and try to pass them off as the standard. When it comes to such a thing, there really is no standard. Everyone requires something different...either way that is besides the point. You are indeed a sad individual if you're gonna actually keep trying to show that there is no use for a 160GB Mp3 player. Sure, maybe it's not for you but because it isn't for you does that mean it's not for anyone else either? You sound like those crazed psychotic boyfriends. Sounds a lot like "If I can't have her, nobody will" and she ends up getting murdered because you couldn't live with the thought of someone else having her. Just a funny analogy I thought I'd throw in...anyway. Stop failing.

2. i didn't know the sole purpose of an ipod/mp3 player was to play each song 20 times a day, so that your count could be in double digits. wow, how boring. i like variety in my life.
3. i can see the video crystal clear.
peace.

And as for the comment on not being able to afford the luxury of 120GB... The iPod Touch as well as the iPhone have got to the most expensive toy I've ever purchased.
I just think for me the huge size of some of these old Zunes is just unnecessary.
