The Zune experience is centered around connection–connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It’s powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.”

What’s really cool about this digital player is that you can wireless share music with any other Zune player within 30 feet. That way you can both sing along to the same song at the same time! And it comes pre-loaded with some cool tunes to get you started. Just add your own library and you’re all set!30GB Bundle Specs:

  • Includes a DLO1 Action Jacket armband for convenience when exercising
  • Store up to 7,500 songs at one time for a long-lived, traveling library

He deserves to win because when the kids say “DAD” he lays down what he is doing and comes.
When our anniversary or the kids birthday or mine comes around, he has never forgotten.
He deserves to win because he wouldn’t dream of treating himself to something and I can’t afford to.
He deserves so much more than I can give.

My husband deserves something special like this because he works hard all day and never complains. Each night he comes home and he cooks dinner (yes you read that right). My husband is an amazing man who loves to spend time with his family and with our budget so tight I would love to give him a fun new toy like this.

Thanks for the great giveaway!

My hubby is a great dad. He for one puts up with me and my horrific pregnancies. He loves his kids and looks forward to playing with them everyday when he gets home. A Zune player would be so much fun for him and our daughter who is two. She loves to dance and I can just see her getting him to let her wear the earphones and walking around with dad’s toy. :) Daddy would enjoy it too.

My husband deserves it because he is a great father. When I was pregnant with my kids he was there each day at the hospital. My husband always puts the kids first before himself. This would make a great gift to him from our kids. I subscribed to your email feed,blogged about it, and added the button to my blog.

we have two amazing dad’s in our lives. one is my children’s father, my husband. he’s probably the most ideal dad in the world. he unconditionally loves and cares for his children like leave it to beaver. he’s always stealing and giving kisses and hugs and gum to the kids. he’s beyond amazing. he’s always giving to us even when he was struck with thyroiditis which swept him (negatively) off his feet. he just jumped back and provided above and beyond for his family.

and my dad, the kids grandpa is also soo available and caring sometimes it drives me up the wall!!!!!!!!!!! he’s always calling and coming over to be with his grandkids and me and my husband. he never says no when the kids or i need him.

we’re soooooooooooo blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dad in my life is my older son. His daughter is severely handicapped, and his whole face lights up when he sees her face, as does hers.
They have lots of fun playing together, and he makes sure he will always be there for her.
He is being deployed this summer, and although he wishes to serve his country (and he will) it tears him up to leave her at home.
I think it would be wonderful for him to have a gift acknowledging what a fantastic Dad he really is.

My Dad deserves this because he has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and they originally gave him only months. He has been going through chemo and his tumors have reduced 50% and they now give him 2-3 years.

The Zune would be wonderful for him to use during his chemo sessions where he sits for hours at a time…

Thanks for the giveaway and making me tell that story and cry!

My hubby deserves this because he works long hours - often 60+ hours a week, and outside in all kinds of weather. This would let him relax with his favorite music whenever he has the opportunity! :)

The spceal dad in my life who deserves to win is my boyfriend/partner/ Kai’s Daddy. He deserves to win because he works so hard while I go to school. I am able to stay at home (feed my addiction of blogging) and go to college full time because he works so very hard. He’s a car and tech guy so he would love this, and since he will never let me spend any money on him it would be the perfect gift. Even on Mother’s day and my birthday he takes me out and I get gifts but never on his days does he want to do anything. He would rather pay bills (boring but so true) he’s a great guy and the best daddy. So I would give it to my delfi for being the wonderful amn that he is!

I also added this blog to my blogs I love!!

My husband deserves to win because he is an amazing daddy. He’s always there to catch our little girls when they fall, wipe their noses when they’re oozing, and ease their worries when they are crying in the middle of the night. Bath time is daddy time, he changes every other diaper or pull-up and never complains. He encourages our girls to take risks but never stands too far away. The thing I admire most about my husband is his commitment. He is commited to being the best daddy ever, to always be there for the important things, to always encourage and never discourage, to always love and protect his little girls. He is always ready to play. He’s reasonable. He is always cool, calm, and collected. He is always giving 110 percent.
He is always positive. I see such pride and happiness in his eyes when our girls give him hugs and kisses, when they call for him. Especially when they run to him and throw their arms around his neck. He has sacrificed a lot for our girls and me. Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Daddy.

I would love to see my husband win. He’s such a hard worker and does so much for our family. He’s an EMT for 48 hour shifts on weekeds, then he farms during his off-time, and goes to school during the week (every day, technically, but since it’s an hour drive away he only goes 3-4 days since we can’t afford the gas!). He’s going to school to be a math teacher, and this past year was particularly hard on him, despite his years of experience in school in the past (he has a couple other degrees since he started college early as a homeschooler). We just had another baby (also have a 2 year old) and he’s such an amazing dad- it melts my heart. Not to mention what a fabulous husband he is…he delivered our baby at home (just the two of us!) 2 weeks ago AND spent the day slaving away for me. :)

Anyway, I’d just love to see him win as a tiny reward for all he does for us.

By the way, I added you to my blog links and made a post about this. :)

My husband deserves this because he works very hard to support his family, so I can stay home with the kids. He does not like sports except the games his kids are playing in. He loves to support his kids in every thing they do. They like to play the Pokemon Trading Card Game, so he runs three leagues a week just so they can play with other people. He’s the best husband, Dad and friend any one could ask for. So, giving him a Zone would be a great way to say We Love You and we are thinking about you. So thanks for the chance to win such a nice gift.

My husband is that special “DAD” that deserves to win this Zune. He works all the time rarely having time to rest. On his days off he is always taking us to the park or beach or any other non costly fun thing to do out there. He manages the finances, takes care of me when I’m sick, loves and fathers our three kiddos and most of all…puts all of us on the top of his “important list”. He is a wonderful man that I wish I could give more to, but since I am unemployed (stay home with the kids) I don’t have the income to purchase something out right to give him. I would love to win this and give to him since he is a lover of music.

This is a great contest, I would love to win this for my hubby for father’s day!!!

My husband definitely deserves this Mp3 player because he is amazing! He has overcome so many things and he has such amazing courage. He shows his love to me and our kids by cooking what I am craving, cleaning the house (so I can rest) and taking them out individually to dinner so that they each have special daddy time! He could really use this for his workouts, he recently had his stolen from our car, so this would be perfect! Thanks!!

I would love to win this for my dad. Not only is he a fantastic dad, but he always allowed us to have our requested gadgets as kids that we ‘had to have’ at the time (within reason, he wasn’t a spoiler, thank goodness!). But he never seemed to get much for himself, still doesn’t. One of the things we inherited from him, was a love of sports, in particular running. All of us grown-kids have ipods, shuffles, nanos, etc. to run with. He has none of it - and he still runs on his own, and on saturday mornings with a group. He would feel like ‘the big man on campus’ showing up with a zune! He absolutely deserves it. He is the most amazing dad.

A father is a very special thing. The sacrifice, pain, and promise made by every father is often so well hidden behind the tough exteriors of their wizened, aged faces that we sometimes forget how awesome they are. I couldn’t begin to blog the amazing things my father has done for me. Aside from the money, knowledge, and love he has impressed upon me my whole life, he has also given me an appreciation for music which has seen me through some tough times of our lives. I wish my financial stance left me in a position to do something for him. Alas, starving and college student tend to go hand in hand and I have nothing but my words of praise and love for him. I know these words would suffice for his patient, loving, and understanding mind but my wish is for more. Which is why I’m willing to sit here and blog beautiful praises about him to complete strangers. So they would know what it is to have such an amazing father, a father who simultaneously runs a business, loves a wife, puts two kids through college, and all the while teaching them more then they could ever learn in schools. Love ya’ dad!

I met my husband five years ago. I had been alone with two children for twelve years. I had dated on and off but could never find someone that was right for the three of us. And then i met my husband.
He has definitely been everything that we could have hoped for and is a Perfect fit to us. He has always treated my children as if they were his. And is more than happy to attend conferences, games and anything else that my children participate in. He has stood with me through the teen years and I seriously don’t know what I would do without him.
He is definitely my one true love and I adore him.
He recently started a new exercise regimen and this would be so Perfect for him !!
Thank you so very much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win this for him !!!

My boyfriend always kept up on the latest electronics - music, games, tv, movies, computers. Since our daughter was born, he can’t afford to go out and buy every new gadget that hits the market. He’s constantly talking about the Zune player, and I really hope I can win one for him.

I think my husband deserves one because he spends 14-16 hours a day hauling fuel and I think it’d be more than entertainment for him, it’d be an asset to have on the job.

HE WORKS LONG HOURS TO PROVIDE FOR ALL 7 OF OUR CHILDREN (4 ARE HIS, 3 ARE MINE) BUT WHEN HE WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR IN THE EVENING, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS! HE LIVES FOR THEM AND LOVES THEM EACH FOR THE UNIQUE CHILD THEY ARE. HE NEVER BUYS THINGS FOR HIMSELF AND IT WOULD BE SO WONDERFUL TO FINALLY GIVE SOMETHING GREAT TO HIM!

Daddy (aka, my hubby) deserves this because he’s an awesome Daddy. He stays home full time with the kids (3, 5 and 10) and despite health difficulties plays and interact with them all day.

But…to be honest, if Daddy won, it would go to Mommy (aka ME!) ’cause Daddy had an IPOD he uses. Mommy’s IPOD shuffle—first generation—is getting so worn out that I can’t hear it well. But Daddy will get some enjoyment out of me winning ’cause he’s enjoying my weight loss (30 pounds so far) and a new MP3 player will help spur that along!

A loving and caring son and son in law ( He took over the bulk of the housework so that I could care 24/7 for my ill mother for the last 3 yrs of her life. A loving father to his stepson and his step daughter in law. And for being the best step grandpa ever cause he’s a “REAL” grandpa. My grandson says he’s his real grandpa cause they can do something simple like color or watch tv and turn and look at eachother and without a word just “know” they love eachother best than anybody. My granddaughter knows he’s her real grandpa cause he finds it so comfortable wrapped around her little finger that he loves it there *soft laugh* I can’t afford special gifts like this as much as he deserves them so it would mean a lot to be able to give him something he deserves

My husband would love this! I feel he deserves it because, firstly, he’s a a really wonderful father and his family is always his first priority. He works his butt off to make sure we’re taken care of and that I can stay home with the kids. Second to that, he’s been in school and just SO busy and stressed out, but he’s done so well and I’m very proud of him. He’s about to finish at the top of his class and I feel he deserves something nice. His old MP3 player broke, and it’s something he uses a lot at his job. Anyhoo, he’s really great and I would love to win this for him!

I cannot say that my hubby deserves this MORE than any other dad, because as I read the comments on this blog, I become increasingly aware of how many GREAT dads there are!

However, I am entering, because finances are very tight and I would love to win this for my hubby to use on his commute to work. Just this last week he decided it is time to ride the bus for the commute from our town to the place he works with the price of gas increasing. I know he will miss his radio for the ride. This would be sooooo cool!

Of course, like most…I think my hubby is wonderful! He makes a lot of sacrifices for the children and me. I appreciate him very much!

My husband is the perfect husband and father. He is always thinking of his family before himself. Whether its calling home from work just to say hi and to check on the kids or cuddling with the kids while watching their shows at night. He always puts himself last, this would be a perfect way to show him just how much we appreciate everything he does for us.

My Dad is GREAT! He supports and encourages me with the Colorguard Team. He takes me to school every day and picks me up. He cooks dinner for our family every night. He brings me breakfast in bed, and always helps me with my chores. The best thing about my Dad, is that he loves me and my Mom. He would enjoy having a zune to listen to while he exercises.

Somehow despite how hard it all was (she lost her husband, mother and grandmother within 3 months of one another) she made it look easy by giving me a happy childhood. She is my mom and DAD and every year I buy her both a mother’s day and father’s day gift, I can’t think of a better gift than the gift of music!

My father used to write his own songs for a children’s show that he performed at schools in our region. Unfortunately an accident left him with some brain damage — he’s still much the same person, but his ability to write music has been severely impacted. His love for music hasn’t changed though, and I’d love to bring him into the 21st century with his first MP3 player. Even if I don’t win, thanks for the idea!

He’s a big classical music fan, unlike myself, so this would allow me to avoid listening to his music in the house! Thanks!

I would love to win this for my husband! He is the only one in this house and at work that doesn’t have some form of an MP3 player. He is holding out for a Zune so he can get the unlimited service for the flat fee… Thanks for considering me!!

Hmm, its hard to sum up the word as to why my father NEEDS one of these fancy gadgets… it may be his sense of humor even in the worst of times… it may be his unconditional love to his wonderful wife (my mama)… it may be his contagious happiness- i swear he never sees negatives anymore… it may be his support for me, the youngest, going off to college without the funds to pay for it all– but he nvr lets me see his worry…. or it may be because he’s the one I call dad. The only one in the world that I would ever call dad.

If I listed all of the things my husband does, the list could circle the earth. He’s an amazing dad to our young boys, and I really appreciate the fact that he’s always there. Unlike most of my friends, I don’t do most of the parenting, he does. He’s better at it too. I’m better at making sure the kids get balanced meals, but he’s better at making them feel important and loved (I’m not saying I’m bad at that, but he’s definitely better - I learn a lot from him). He’s especially good at seeing things from the boys’ point of view, something else I learn from him. I can already tell that he’s going to be their best friend!

Jeez. It may be virtually impossible to list all the reasons my dad deserves to win. Well, he was a paratroopler in the Army. He kept me and all my siblings tough throughout life, no matter what kind of curveballs it threw at us. We went through many hard times and right when you would think a father would cripple under pressure, he stood strong and always trusted the Lord. He is #1 in my book, no matter what anyone else says. (Hi, im Robert Petersen from N.C, and im 13 years old and never been prouder of my dad!)

My hubby had a horrible childhood but he is very forgiving and let it go and decided to be the opposite of what he knew and is a really great dad. He went from barely feeding himself to supporting me and our 4 kids. He works all night so I can stay at home with the kids. He loves to cook and does that everyday for me! He used to have a cell phone but its just one of the many things he gave up so I wouldn’t have to work. There really are alot of great dad’s out there and he certainly is one of them.

My dad deserves to win, because he does a lot of for the community. He is a Voluntary Firefighter and Rescue worker. He has paid out of his own pocket to go to Rescue school for four months and then he turned around and now is just finished Fire school which was also another four months. He goes to school and has to work too to support our family. When ever a holiday comes up, the Fire Department usually does something. Like a parade or show and my dad always does that kind of stuff. He deserves to win because then he can enjoy one of his favorite things in the world; Music, well he is out working hard.

You know, this is difficult for me but I have seen my dad’s character to take care of the family. He has leukemia and not many years left (if that) and yet he is working hard as a mechanic nearly 10hrs a day to support our family. That is amazing to me, because his love for our family is stronger then his pain! He does have the option to get disability and just stay home, but he wants to take care of the family and secure a future for us when he is gone because disability pay is not much. He is a warrior to me. He would also love this gift to take to work with him to help take his mind off the pain. Regardless if I win or not, my father has shown true character and love despite the most horrible pain he goes through and I love him dearly.

I think that my fiance deserves this gift because not only does he take care of me, he’s taken on my two boys, ages 7 and 8. My 8 year old is special needs and that didn’t even cause him to pause or hesitate. He loves my boys as if they were his own and he’s changed all of our lives for the better. Before him, I didn’t believe that I was worthy of love or anything else and he loves me enough to be patient with me while I learn who I am. He is a remarkable man.

A year after being widowed, I met a wonderful man who is so much like me that we both wondered if we might be related (we’re not, phew!) Even though I didn’t want to remarry, he has always helped me raise my son to be a fine young man with a great sense of humor, adventure, and values. Nothing my son or I could give him could ever show him how invaluable he’s been to us both and how much we both love him. But a Zune would be a nice surprise for him.

My father deserves to win the Zune because he got me one for Christmas and I didn’t even ask for it. I had no idea how cool it was and now it’s my favorite — it’s with me all the time.

I miss my Dad so much–he died when I was 19. He would have loved the Zune because he loved music. There was no generation gap between us–we used to borrow each other’s records all the time! I loved borrowing his Benny Goodman while he enjoyed borrowing my Bob Seger! We had so much fun together when he was alive, that I will never stop missing him. Dad was never too busy to be a father to me. He used to take me out to lunch or to the mall on a regular basis. Listening to music would be a wonderful way to honor his memory.

My hubby is definitely the dad who deserves to win. We have a 2 y/o with special medical needs, so I stay at home. He makes sure that every Saturday I have the day to myself, and never hesitates to stay home if I ask him to at other times. He helps with cooking, laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, diapers and all the child care. Most importantly, he’s a great listener, my best friend and can always make me laugh. He always emphatically states that he doesn’t want t gift because he doesn’t want me to spend money on him, so winning his gift would be the BEST! Thanks for a great giveaway.

But you know what? Through it all he has not complained, and that is what makes him even more amazing. I think he really needs a special treat this Father’s Day.

Our children always knew he loved them and would always be coming back to them. He is always there for them to talk to about their problems and he doesn’t judge them. So that means they know they can talk to him about anything and that has really helped to keep them out of trouble as teens

My dear husband (who is the Dad of my kids!) deserves this prize because he puts up with me and he mentors our two great boys!

My husband would love this item. We are expecting our first baby in 3 months, and this would be a great gift for this special Father’s Day. He’s been so supportive and it would be a nice way to say “thank you” to him as well.

My husband deserves (well, needs) to win so he can have his own music in the car while I listen to the news =)

My daughter has a Zune she listens to in the car, so she and her dad don’t argue about music anymore.

My dad is my idol. Without his support and love throughout the years, I would not be the person I am today. He is, without question, my best friend and I couldn’t imagine life without him.

My dad deserves to win b/c he does so much for everyone else before he thinks about himself. He and my mom have graciously taken me and my three children in while my husband is deployed with the Air Force overseas.
Plus, my dad is the most technically challenged person I’ve ever come across and I know that the Zune is very user friendly.

Because he loves music, too.

Am I allowed to be selfish and say that I deserve to win it? Because, honestly, I’ve had to be both father and mother to my kids. Father’s Day is such a melancholy holiday for me and my kids. My own dad and I barely keep in touch because…well, he was certainly never nominated for Father of the Year, let’s put it that way. And my stepdad? Not much of an improvement.

As far as my kids’ fathers. I’ve raised my girls without a father except for the little one’s dad who just resurfaced a little over a year ago and has done everything he can to make our lives hell ever since then. And my son’s father, well, he kidnapped him and moved him out of state and it took me 9 months to track him down so by the time I actually got any help with it, it had been a year since I’d seen my son.

So when it comes to deserving fathers, I’m not fortunate enough to know any in my own personal life. However, it does bring tears to my eyes to read some of these other comments (no, I didn’t read all 499 but I did read a few of them) and to realize that for every “deadbeat dad” out there, there are at least five GOOD dads… dads that coach baseball teams, dads that missed their child’s birth because they were serving our country, dads who rarely left their sick child’s side, dads who have been pooped on and puked on and dads that who have taken on the responsibility of raising children that don’t share one speck of their DNA but they love them just the same as if they were their own flesh and blood…

Having said that, I’d like to win this Zune myself, for being both Father and Mother to my kids, for picking up the slack and healing the wounds their actual fathers left open…

I was working on my degree at Salem College and Doug stood by me 100%. Not only that he was assisting our youngest son with Boy Scouts, and now he’s the Scoutmaster.

My Brother-in-Law is a new father (my nephew was born on Mother’s Day.) He loves to run and this would be great to take along for some musical entertainment.
