Zune gets shit on, but goddamn I loved my OG brown Zune when I was a teen. I have so much to thank that thing for. Not least of which is that it introduced me to metal, which became my favorite genre. If anyone had the OG Zune, it was preloaded with several music videos and one of them was All That Remains.

Yes, "Squirting" is what Microsoft called the act of sending songs from Zune to Zune.

Ooooh you’re right, I completely forgot about that lol. I was the only person I knew with a Zune at that time so unfortunately, no, I never did get to squirt.

I did some squirting. That's how I discovered Cradle of Filth back in 9th grade. We started the transfer of a whole album at the beginning of a 90min long class, and we we're getting concerned if it was gonna finish before class got out. It was SLOW

Parents: What did you do at school today?

Kid: Nothing much, just squirting.

I remember the WiFi syncing was really slow as well. It was cool but it failed often lol.

>OG brown Zune

I had worse players.
Iriver E10 for example - a little noisy. Samsungs were cleaner but still no bass and no power. The best sound at the time was still from CD players.
