4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 14 Jun 2007
By P. Goss (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent choice, and good value. I endorse all the previous reviews.

The Stone is a tiny thing, much smaller than I was expecting. Check the dimensions!

The short USB lead is great. The Stone is so light it can dangle quite happily in mid-air on the end of the lead if your USB socket is not at table level.

I've not bothered with the Creative software. You can transfer music easily (to or from the Stone) using Windows XP Explorer. Windows Media Player 11 works flawlessly with it too.

Tip 1: The Stone has a built-in battery which recharges via a USB port, so you will need a USB mains charger if you are staying somewhere without a computer.

Tip 2: Remember to organise the music into folders so you can use the very handy "skip to next folder" control.

Tip 3: Don't try to perform other file operations on the computer whilst transferring music to the Stone or you may get "i/o error" messages.

Tip 4: Always use the Windows "Remove Device" routine or again you may get error messages.

Tip 5: You can read and write any file you like to the Stone and use it just like a USB pen drive, e.g. to transfer files between computers.

4.0 out of 5 stars stone vs shuffle, 16 May 2007
By thementalmen (harpenden) - See all my reviews
To be honest, the Zen Stone's main rival was always going to be the Ipod Shuffle. Neither player has a screen, both have a 1gb memory and both come in a variety of colours. The controls on both are quite similar and whilst the shuffle uses itunes , the Zen Stone uses Windows Media player. It is worth mentioning that this player is also compatible with Windows Vista.
The sound quality on the Zen Stone is more than acceptable but you may want to think to upgrade the headphones in the longterm. The plastic shell of the player means it does feel slightly lighter than the aluminium used on the shuffle. What does annoy me about this player is that creative should have thought of a better way to charge this player - the lead they provide is very very short. They also don't include a clip like the shuffle has so you can clip it on your clothing. You will be more than likely be putting it around your neck as it will be getting lost in your pocket among your keys and loose change.

And by buying this player, you will have quite a lot of loose change. This could be the player that will finally kill the awful cheap trashy MP3 players that provide nothing but are still purchased. There are plenty of players which are ugly, have a poor battery life, unreliable software, unresponsive controls which are purchased simply because they are cheap. You deserve better - upgrade and don't look back...

At this price you are gaining not an ipod shuffle killer as Creative was hoping but you are gaining a player that is providing minimalistic, simple brilliance. You are gaining a player that is truly portable, fashionable, backed by a named compnay and a player that is not going to humiliate you.

Worth buying at this low price, most certainly. If your friends have shockingly poor MP3 players - point them towards the Zen Stone - they will thank you for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the shuffle?, 7 Jun 2007
By Sam (UK) - See all my reviews
This player is obviously designed to rival the ipod shuffle. I bought it, mainly because it is nearly half the price of it's apple counterpart.

For something so small, it sounds amazing!! The sound is very rich with clear base and treble tones. I used my sennheiser headphones with it and it sounds the same as my ipod nano! It looks great, and the controls are perfect even for bigger hands.

It doesn't come with any software, because it is a simple drag and drop. however you can go onto creative's website and download software to rip cd's into mp3's. You can also use this to transport documents, photo's etc as it doubles as a USB flash drive.

This is a great player, if you want something light (possibly for use during exercise) and don't want a screen. The ipod shuffle offers nothing different to this except for a flimsy clip!
