Bernie I have the Zune..I use it connected to the audio inputs of the G70..With the dedicated volume knob ..it is a joy to use..

Like Donny, I prefer the laptop..allows me to view 50 songs at a time and easily searched...but if you do not primarily use MP3's..the Zune/ipod is definitely the way to go.....especially with the G70...you can also add effects/eq and such with the audio inputs....You never have to reach for your mixer or amp...All controls are right there on the G70...
