Do you have any more details about this?

I have an old (broken) mp3 player I bought in Hong Kong a few years back that I would gladly trade in if I could.

I had an 8gb Zune for a while. I loved it.
Only problem was that my music stash was over 20gb... so I had a difficult time 'auto-filling' the Zune. I'm not sure you can do it with any iPod other than the shuffle either, though.

The FM radio is especially good -- picking up even the faintest signals. It uses RDS too, so you know the name of the song that's playing.

To use podcasts, you need to know the URL of the podcast (easily found from iTunes) for a one-time podcast setup. It auto-updates automatically.

The sound quality is better than a 2gb Shuffle, using the same 192kbps sound file, both unconverted when syncing, and while using the same pair of headphones. The bass is deep, the highs are crisp.

Zune social was a waste of time... really.

Wifi sync is slow, but useful if you have a separate dock. "Walk in, dock the thing, press sync on the player, and forgettaboudit"

Included headphones could be better... its about the same (or a tad better) than iPods.

The touch-navigation really rocks... you flick to navigate through the menus... iPod Touch style, and you can build up momentum to flip faster.

Sexy crisp display... perfect for podcasts but not much else... unless you're getting the 80gb.
just my 2-cents,

"we will take any brand and model as long as it is not something we currently sell"

i have a $19.99 128mb player from 2003ish lol

I like this deal..
recycling old mp3 players.(hopefully)
and.. saving 40 bucks on a new mp3 player.. that looks very complete.

thanks op!

[778Era]

+1 but mine is 256

is 128MB okay

[Eternia]

is 128MB okay

I still have a 64MB Rio MP3 player.

Tempting but I still have an old 4GB Nano, so it doesn't feel like that big of an upgrade to warrant unneeded spending. Then again ...

Seems like a pretty good deal, you could also probably use that $10 gift card that you may have gotten with the order of your SPC card

[PanzerWF]

Hope the GVR has this deal too, sounds tempting =)

"we will take any brand and model as long as it is not something we currently sell"

sounds like they encourage no-name brand players or really old ones....

keep in mind this is just another form of their marketing schemes to promote a "sale" for mp3 players.

they've had the same "trade-in deals" for LCDs, TVs, and laptops

nobody in the public knows what they actually do w/ these trade-ins, but hopefully they do recycle it

[killoverme]

sounds like its a simple 99 dollar sale for a zune, but they wanted to add the gimmick of trading in your mp3 player to get the 40 dollars off to make you feel that you got away with something
(yay, got rid of my crappy mp3 player and got a much better mp3 player with 40 dollars off)
