I had an Ipod Touch until it decided it wanted to go for a swim (RIP) and have missed my music since then. I now just utlize my laptop for my music needs, which is very tiresome but when I need to be doing work on it anyways, I am fine hauling it around. I have personally never tried a Zune HD, so I can't talk from experience here, but I don't recollect any troubles with the touch. It served me well, I just wish it didn't have to go so early haha.
