Il était surement l’absent le plus présent au Grand bal de Bercy, animé par le « Roi du Mbalakh » Youssou Ndour. Lui, c’est Waly Seck. Toutefois, celui-ci a décidé de remettre les pendules à l’heure, dans des propos relayés par Le Témoin, en dévoilant les raisons de son absence.
« Bercy a été programmé bien avant les Awards. C’est bien après que j’ai décidé de me rendre aux USA pour la cérémonie de remise des Awards. Cela ne me dérange nullement d’aller à Bercy avec Youssou Ndour.
La première fois que je suis allé à Bercy, c’est lui-même, Youssou Ndour, qui m’y avait invité. J’ai joué ma partition en effectuant un play-back. Par la suite, ils m’ont contacté une seconde fois pour aller à Bercy. Mais il se trouve que j’étais aux USA au même moment et je ne pouvais pas logiquement répondre à cette invitation.
Ensuite, il y a eu un émissaire qui m’a recontacté pour Bercy, mais honnêtement nous ne sommes pas tombés d’accord sur le montant de mon cachet et les choses en sont restées là. Mais bi nak moy lolou (mais cette fois il n’y a rien eu NDLR) », a renseigné le fils de Thione Seck.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Say, you got a nice article. Cool.
wow, awesome article.Really thank you! Really Great.
This is starting to be a bit added subjective, nonetheless I much desire the Zune Sector. The interface is vibrant, incorporates further more flair, and some great capabilities which includes ‘Mixview’ that enable oneself quickly look at related albums, songs, or other buyers very similar towards what you might be listening toward. Clicking upon 1 of those will middle on that product, and yet another fastened of “neighbors” will arrive into watch, enabling yourself toward navigate in the vicinity of studying by way of comparable artists, music, or people. Talking of consumers, the Zune “Social” is way too Good pleasurable, allowing on your own locate many others with shared preferences and becoming good friends with them. Oneself then can listen towards a playlist designed dependent upon an amalgamation of what all your mates are listening in the direction of, which is in addition enjoyable. Those nervous with privateness will be relieved toward notice your self can reduce the public against watching your person listening practices if yourself hence consider.
Looking forward to reading more. Great blog.Really thank you! Cool.
Palms down, Apple’s application retailer wins by way of a mile. It can be a enormous preference of all types of programs vs a quite disappointed amount of a handful for Zune. Microsoft consists of Options, specially within just the realm of online games, but I’m not confident I’d require to guess upon the upcoming if this part is substantial to oneself. The iPod is a much much better preference in that circumstance.
