Summary: DON'T BUY CREATIVE! 2008-10-31
Comment: The first mp3 player I bought was by Sony and it has worked pretty well, but since I didn't care for the design or the menu, I thought I'd buy a different brand this time around. The Stone really appealed because of its price, looks, and features. So I spent a lot of time reading reviews and despite the number of people that said theirs randomly stopped working, I still ending up ordering a Stone because of the price.
WHAT A MISTAKE! I started using the Stone right away and everything was going well. I laughed at myself for worrying. THE VERY NEXT DAY, my FULLY CHARGED Stone WOULD NOT TURN ON! I couldn't use the recovery tool that I downloaded from Creative either because when I connected the Stone, it wouldn't show up on the computer. MY STONE WAS DEAD WITHIN TWO DAYS OF USE!
So, there goes fifty bucks. (I bought the 2GB plus with speaker.)
Other reasons not to buy the Stone:
It is ridiculously hard to turn on and off and you have to press for way too long. The middle button isn't big enough or something. Whenever I try to turn it off, I end up turning up the volume super loud instead.
When you reach the end of a list, it doesn't go back up to the first one.
You can't choose individual songs in a folder.
Changing the mode it's playing (in one folder, on repeat, shuffle, etc.) takes way too long. I have to press the middle button, right towards options, down to play mode, and then up and down.
You can't browse music and listen to music at the same time. So let's say I want to go from my Carnival Ride folder to my Some Hearts folder. Well, as soon as I switch over to Some Hearts, Flat On the Floor is cut off because Wasted interrupts it and starts playing.
The clock doesn't work. When you connect the stone to your computer, it asks if you want to sync the time to your computer time and I said yes. Like an hour later, I checked the clock on the Stone and it reset. O_o Before my Stone died, I had synced it twice and both times this happened.
I think I've made my point. THE STONE IS A BAD BUY! So don't buy it.

Summary: Not bad for the price 2008-05-21
Comment: Don't really have much to say except that the Zen has worked exactly like it is supposed to. I've had no problems whatsoever and it is truly easy to use. I'm very content with this purchase. I only wish it came with a little clip-on. I know that you can purchase skins with clip-ons for it, but it would really have been nice if the item itself had it built in.

Summary: May not work 2008-05-12
Comment: I bought a Stone Plus 2 GB after trying two different iPod Shuffles that never worked.
I had a bit more success with the Stone Plus since I actually heard music come from it and my PC (using XP) recognized it. Everything was fine until it went dead while I was putting music on it. Now it does not even turn on, after hours of charging.
I read another case where someone reccomeneds not syncing the date/time wtih your PC. I did this so, maybe that was my problem.
Anyway, this is going back to Target and I will try another brand of mp3 player.
Prior to the shuffles and the stone plus I have owned 4 mp3 players going back to the Rios. Never had these problems before.

Summary: you get what you pay for 2008-04-26
Comment: This was my first mp3, I bought it in white. For what you get for your money I think this is a good deal. Great size. Great deal for the money. But there is reason this is cheaper than the rest. I had trouble charging the zen-like many reveiwers do-but did eventually get it to charge so I was okay with it. In fact I loved this mp3 until I heard a friend's apple ipod- the sound quality was vastly superior to this! I do wish I had spent more to get and apple ipod just for the great difference in sound quality!
