Default Zune 30 vs 4/8/80

I was thinking about purchasing a Zune, but noticed the 2nd Generations out there now. What are the benefits of the 8GB-2nd Gen vs. the 30GB-1st Gen? Music is the main reason for the purchase.

It really depends on how large your library is. The 30 is the best value.

We could fill up a 80GB with all of the music we have. Besides the volume of music, are there any other considerations?

Default Zune 30 vs 4/8/80

I see it as this,
a zune30 is like Julia Child, PBS old school with a still moderate feel that you can absolutely feel the need for-thus a moderate number of music, that mostly everybody can relate to having whether good or bad.
I like this one better, for I have every single thing thats in my collection that I can put in a zune and still some decent room to spare.

a zune80 is like Martha Stewart, the "in" view of fine living with a huge impact on todays society-thus this device is basically for people with a really large number of music as well as other stuff as well as a sweet new tech look that pwns the 30.

If you're thinking about a zune8/4 I see that it is basically best for exorcising or just "to go" if you are in a rush with the little time you can't afford to waste of the best of the best in your tastes of music that will entertain you whenever.

I hope this helped you out as I tried my hardest here.

the software that came out extends battery life (for what i know is the 30) and i think that the classics are always the best

depends on you, If you dont have that much music,and you want something small to fit into your pocket go for the zune 4/8. But if you have a large collection of music,go for the zune 30 or 80.
