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: Won't hold a charge. 2008-06-05
Comment: I bought it today, have had it charging for hours. It blinked like it was suppose to. I downloaded 127 C-tunes, formatted, recharged, went out and got an AC charger. Repeated everything all day. I can play it plugged into the AC charger, which could come in handy, or I could play it from the computer, which is redundant. It would not play on its own. It would not take a charge at all. I no longer crave a Creative Zen. Oh, if I-River would be more available. This item is cute in red, but it stinks. And I found out later Target gagged me at $54.99. Take it back.

Summary: just what I wanted 2008-06-01
Comment: This was exactly what I hoped it would be. It's really small, I can completely cover it with both thumbs, and it's also really thin. I like the playful pink color. The sound quality is very good. It's volume goes from 1-25 or 26, but it is loud enough to exercise with at 7-9. If you are a parent and this is for your child, I think you are definitely going to want to use the parental controls that limit how loud the player will go. I haven't tried that out so I don't know how it works. I really like the display screen, which the zen stone without the plus doesn't have, so I am glad I bought the one I did. It holds lots of songs. There is software you can download to manage your downloads, but I did just fine without it. I put on music from my CDs and downloaded songs from Amazon.com without any problems. It also has a flash drive, which eliminates skipping. All in all, a great little player.

Summary: Small and simple 2008-03-20
Comment: The Zen Stone is a nice little music player. It is simple to operate, has decent capacity and sound good. The battery life isn't great, but is reasonable considering the small size of the player. My 8-year old girl loves it.
