It needs larger capacity and support WMA Lossless via Zune Marketplace.
I hope at launch time or shortly thereafter MS releases at least a 100+ Gb capacity version. I'm currently using a 60 Gb Gigabeat S60 that I'm very found of but my WMA Lossless music filled it up with only 288 albums.
I haven't even ripped half of my CD's yet and I've got over 200 Gbs of WMA Lossless music on my desktop machine with about 10 albums that I've downloaded as WMA Lossless from Music Giants so I'm starving for more capacity. Also when the folks start to load, in addition to music, more and more videos and photos they'll appreciate the extra space.
I hope the Zune Marketplace also supports wireless WMA Lossless downloads and not just the lossy stuff that sounds lifeless to hardcore music lovers like me. At a minimum MS should hook up a deal with Music Giants to allow wireless downloads of WMA Lossless music from them.
Does any one know how this thing sounds compared to the Gigabeat S series?
I've got my fingers crossed that it sounds at least as good as the Gigabeat S series and even better. I hope it also includes a real equalizer and not just the presets found on the Gigabeat that, to my ears, took away from the transparency of its sound. I'm fearful that MS won't pay too much attention to sound quality as it seems to be marketed to a pop/rock crowd where sound usually doesn't matter as much since most pop music is so heavily processed and lacks much in the way of acoustic sounding instruments anymore anyway. In the end the sound will be the most important thing to me.
