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.

I heard this about 15 years ago when I was in Seattle and could never remember enough about it to find it again. Just decided to take another shot at it and looks like this is my year; just bought an MP3. Thanks for mentioning this one.

O brightness of the Father’s face Savior of the fallen race O Son who shared the Father’s might Before the world knew day or night Chorus Emmanuel, God with us Emmanuel, God with us Today as year by year its light Bathes all the world in radiance bright One precious truth outshines the sun Your blood has my sal-vation won. (chorus) O Christ, Re-deemer, virgin-born May our song your name adorn Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Spirit evermore (chorus) And we are jubilant today You have washed our guilt away. Oh, hear the glad new song we sing On this the birthday of our King! “Emmanuel God with us” it has a really cool mandolin riff and fun latin tune.

O brightness of the Father’s face
Savior of the fallen race
O Son who shared the Father’s might
Before the world knew day or night

Chorus
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, God with us

Today as year by year its light
Bathes all the world in radiance bright
One precious truth outshines the sun
Your blood has my sal-vation won. (chorus)

O Christ, Re-deemer, virgin-born
May our song your name adorn
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Spirit evermore (chorus)

And we are jubilant today
You have washed our guilt away.
Oh, hear the glad new song we sing
On this the birthday of our King!
