Product Description
Unbelievably tiny, the ZEN Stone from Creative can be used for up to 10 hours of non-stop music. Thanks to its 1 GB storage capacity, you can store all your favourite music in MP3 or WMA format, and the Skip function and navigational scroll make it easy to access your different folders. The Zen Stone MP3 player also has a shuffle mode for even more listening options. Despite its compact size, the ZEN Stone is simply packed with surprises!

 Better than the shuffle? June 7, 2007

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!
Great MP3 player, but use good headphones August 19, 2007

Compared to the 2GB Stone Plus, this player lacks a screen as well as other functions like a FM receiver and dictating recorder, none of which are essential for the core function of playing music, and from what I gather are of dubious quality. As for the 1GB capacity on this one, it is perfectly adequate and takes a dozen albums at 192Kbps. With battery life of up to 10 hours you'll just about get to play ten or twelve albums before a recharge is required via the supplied USB. At this point you'll probably be updating the music on the player anyway, so higher memory capacity is a bit redundant.
I chose the black version and it is the typical glossy plastic, piano black type of finish, which is very smart but will collect scratches if not handled with care. The optional silicone skin would help here, but the player would be hidden away, and it really ought not to be.
File transfer is straightforward with Windows Media Player 11 or the downloadable Creative Media Lite. Transfer speeds are good. Albums can be transferred in their folders, meaning you can skip an album using the slide control on the player. The regular play/pause, fast forward/rewind, change track all work a treat. The LED flashes, stays steady, and changes colour to indicate various states of charge and use, and the lack of a screen is not a problem here.
The sound quality is superb and I cannot fault it at all, although this is when listening with Sennheiser HD202 closed back headphones. The supplied in-ear earphones are uncomfortable and have very poor sound; rendering everything tinny, indistinct and very unpleasant. You will not be doing the player justice without good ear/headphones.
If you're contemplating this or the 2GB Stone Plus, I'd advise that unless you really need the additional functions and capacity, choose this 1GB model and spend the difference on headphones or music.
Amazingly Small and Beautifully Unique May 21, 2007

Well done Creative another fine product to add to your list,Thankyou.
I bought this player for my husband aged 64 years, and when it arrived my heart sank, I wondered what he would say about this tiny little thing, he needed a magnifying glass to read the instructions.
But we are both blown away at this little miracle, simple to operate and the sound quality is amazing I have even ordered one for myself and judging by the response from my grandchildren I think my christmas list has already started.

I bought this product about a month ago and It's TINY ant extremly thin. The sound quality is great and it can store loads of songs and it is a extremly good value. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap mp3 player.

It is remarkable how light this piece of kit is. It is remarkable how small this piece of kit is. It is equally astonishing what a great piece of design this is.
As others have compared the Stone to I-Pod I won't bother other than to say without pre-prejudice this is simply one of the finest pieces of useful technology I have seen. It does exactly what it says it will do. No more, no less. It is very easy to use. Just sync with Windows Media player and away you go. It is very easy on the eye. Well except for the pink one, which is PINK. The sound is exceptional whatever genre you are into.The only downside is that the ear phones supplied may need upgrading but it depends what you are satisfied with.
Remember it is extremly small and light and could easily be lost. It does actually fit on a key ring which is useful. It is, overall, remarkable.
