I'm going to guess that would be the noticeable fuzz I get when I plug it in to my laptop. |
Plug the iPod charger into your laptop? :? |

ROFL, no. When I plug my Zune into my laptop and play music there's a noticeable fizzy, static-y sound.
But that would be badass to have power outlets on a laptop. Sure would drain battery life though.

| That's odd, I didn't notice any thing in the play back when I had it plunged into my PC. The EMF interference is from the switching power conversion used by the iPod charger which dose make a sight buzz in Zune playback but it's most noticeable with the radio. The radio in the car itself is even effected. |

| Woah, this is awesome. I never even thought that the Zune USB cord would work with the Apple charger, and it does! Thanks guys for saving me at least $50!! I don't like to mismatch products but this is gonna have to do! |
