 Love it July 9, 2007

Such good value and brilliant as a second MP3 player for the gym and running. Fits nicely into my sportsbra so no need for additional armbands etc. For the price you can't beat it although it would be great if it did have an onscreen display, however I can live without it. You can skip along to the next lbum/playlist easily so it's quick to jump if you need.
Perfect first player for kids and technophobes February 11, 2008

How easy is this player! On Christmas day I took it out of the box, plugged it into the computer (it charges itself through the USB), Windows XP recognised it, I dragged some songs onto it. Job done.
No software to download, not even a CD in the box! It also plays licence protected WMA (in other words anything downloaded legally from other than itunes). The Philips PSS I got last year for my other daughter did none of the above.
Well done Creative making such an easy device for such a good price . And it had to be white.

I've been a fan of Creative products for some time, well since Apple products kept failing. I currently own a Zen Vision M, but it's a bit too bulky for running with, I did consider the Ipod Shuffle, but the fact that ipods get locked to one computer bugs me as I often buy and download music both at work and at home - so I was pleased when Creative released a rival product with the Stone.
The player itself is basic, but it's [...], and I quite like basic, especially when I'm just going to use it when running. It has all the usual controls, but it also has a nifty "next album" switch/button, which I haven't seen on similar products. As long as your music is organised and transfered on to the player in folders then it skips from one folder to the next - saving multiple clicks to get to the next album.
The sound is good, although the headphones that come with it are poor, but then aren't they always? And, the handy clip you get on Apples shuffle would have been nice. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

This was purchased as a temporary replacement for my Zen Micro while it's being (hopefully) repaired by Creative and so far so good. It's certainly extremely small and lightweight however I must admit to wondering about its overall build strength and ability to take the occasional knock. Battery life appears better than average (maybe the last reviewer didn't fully charge the player before using it therefore shortening the battery's memory?) and the volume perfectly adequate. I haven't used the supplied earphones since I dislike the inner ear kind and would rather use larger and more expensive headphones. Its controls are certainly simplistic and rather than creating playlists, you merely create folders which the player goes through in turn. There is a shuffle option which I would have liked to somehow randomly play the songs within each individual folder but it appears to shuffle all songs within all folders, meaning you're as likely to get Metallica next to Madonna as you are next to Marilyn Manson!
I only ever choose MP3/WMA format players as you can usually just copy and paste music files into the devices or simply use them purely as removable storage. I've never been too sure why people rave so much over Apple products since I personally think their transfer software is vile to use and the players themselves of only average quality. Thankfully, unlike the two Philips MP3 players I've temporarily had, the Zen Stone has been flawless at connecting to my computer, the Creative Lite software very intuitive to use and it seems to play all music files regardless of which download site they came from.
I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with it once (or if!) my bigger Zen Micro comes back from Creative, whether it'll go back in the box or whether it'll even supersede its bigger brother. Not quite a five star product due to its obvious limitations, but for those looking to take their music on the move without attracting unwelcome attention, it comes highly recommended and at half the price of the iPod shuffle.

Being the owner of a Zen Vision:M, rather than an iPod shuffle, I bought one of these for my wife. Great little player!
So small and easy to use and all for a fantastic price.
Will probably upgrade the earphones and also would be great if it came with a mains charger but I guess you can't have everything.
One suggestion to Creative though - how about incorporating a little clip on the back to be able to clip to clothing?...
