Apple, with their cult-like devotion (and that’s not an exaggeration, studies of the human brain have shown that Apple aficionados actually treat and think of the company like a religious cult rather than a corporation, which is how they can get away charging $1200 for a monitor stand, or $300 for a pair of headphones that cost $3 to build and the worst sound quality on the market) had made certain that the Zune would face an uphill battle. Let’s jump back to 2006 and the launch of Microsoft’s iPod competitor: The Zune.įrankly, it didn’t land with much of a splash. The second edition.īut I’m getting ahead of myself. See, the model in the picture? That’s a 2nd gen model. To late 2006, when the Zune first came out. Let’s rewind the clock all the way back to 2008. Is this why it is, in my mind, the greatest MP3 player ever made? Bear in mind, I bought that Zune when it was new. The Command & Conquer Generals soundtrack, if you’re curious.īut it’s still going. There it is, the same Zune from a different angle, playing away. Are you ready to see the image of the greatest MP3 player ever made? Here it is: Yeah, I know this is going to ruffle some feathers. Let’s move on to the post: A tribute to the greatest MP3 player ever made. But not yet, because they’ve got The Minstrel and the Marshal for the moment, and that’s plenty of story to keep them occupied.Īll right, that’s it for news. Since we’re doing news, editing on Starforge is now in full swing, and in addition Patreon Supporters will have another chapter preview coming soon. With a little luck and some work, in a few weeks it’ll be one of the top search results, so anyone looking for Axtara will find the store pages, and a free preview of the first three chapters to read, nice and easy. So I made that post designed specifically for web crawlers looking for search results. Well, it’s pretty straightforward: I’ve noticed that if one searches “Axtara” or “Axtara – Banking and Finance” you get the store pages, and the news page on the site that announced its release … but you do not get any of the reviews or previews. Some of you might be wondering why I didn’t title this A Tribute to the Greatest MP3 Player that Ever Lived, but there’s a reason for that!īut first, really quick, and before I get into this small tribute, I do want to offer a quick update about yesterday’s post, as some of you might be wondering what point it served.
