Zune 4 & Zune HD vs iTunes 9 & iPod Touch

Disclaimer: Image heavy post.

Call me a fanboy but here are some screenshots of both iTunes 9 & Zune 4. Have a look at the gorgeous UI the new Zune as compared to that utterly ugly iTunes UI. The Macboys should find Zune to their liking – borderless window. And this is not something entirely new. Zune desktop’s previous version was also way ahead in UI compared to iTunes. Screenshots:

iTunes 9 Genius: (This is the only ‘good-looking’ screen in iTunes)

Zune 4 DJ Now-Playing: (These screens also go into Full Screen mode. Gorgeous!)

The flames below the track status bar is a visulization! Here’s another beautiful screen:
