Just bought this for my 6 year old daughter because from the price and reviews I thought it would be easy to put tunes on and I wouldnt panic that she would lose something expensive.
Received today and with Christmas looming I thought I would make sure I could use it...within 5 minutes I had put on plenty of tunes, really really easy to do! I have tested it out and the sound quality is pretty good too. A good deal!

I have to admit that I am another reviewer who is not particularly on the ball as far as MP3 players are concerned. I purchased it because the price seemed reasonable, the appearance of the player looked up to date and it was small and unobtrusive.
The sound quality seems fine to me. It is easy to put music on to it and similarly easy to delete it when I am fed up with the songs that are on it. I know that you can pay really fancy money for all the bells and whistles on one of these things, but personally I just didn't need them. I just enjoy listening to it in bed. I suffer quite a bit from insomnia (old age, or something like that) and after getting into bed, ten minutes of Des O'Connor puts me in dreamland. Only kidding.

This is an amazing little gizmo, well worth the money I paid for it. Although the software it came with works well, it's possible to use the player as you would a memory stick. Dragging and dropping music straight into it makes it simple to make the folders (which it uses sort of like a playlist) and it takes less than a minute to add or delete music.
The controls are basic and self explanatory. All the info it has is conveyed uses just a LED which flashes in different sequences of green or orange. A quick read of the manual explains all of these and afterwards it's very easy and intuitive to use.
The sound quality's good, I use it for books on tape on the tube and have never had a problem hearing what was going on. The tiny size (imagine a box of matches with rounded edges) means it can slip into any pocket unobtrustively and means that me and my Zen Stone are now inseperable.

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.

quite pleased with this little number, only been using it for a few days so far so good. eventually after downloading the software programme from creative website, sussed out how to upload tracks from CDs to MP3. wasnt too difficult..sound is great but the earphones are too big to fit well into my ears, so as a result my ears have become a bit sore so not so pleasing, may have to buy some different ones. memory is good although I havent filled it up yet! the player itself is absolutely tiny and gets lost in a pocket, you have to be carefull not to scuff or scratch the casing, so I may buy a silicon cover to protect it, but that puts your budget up, if your looking for a fairly cheap and decent mp3 player. obviously you dont get a display on what track etc. you are playing or what album you want to jump to next, if you can live with that then go for it, again it is a cheap buy for what you get. I get on alright with that myself.
