Creative ZEN Stone 1 GB

Hello all. First off, it’s literally been months since my last review (exams, don’t ask) but I’m back! I hope to be around a little more now I’m not pulling my hair out. There’s always a story behind my reviews, this one’s a little sad. My lovely iPod died: 10 days after the warranty ran out. I was devastated as I really can’t live without music but for ages I went without. Then someone showed me the Creative Zen Stone and I rejoiced! This is the story of the little mp3 player that could. The Good Things ---The Size--- It’s diddy. I’ve added a photo of it next to my thumb so you can get a feel ... more

So, It’s my first review in a while. My GCSE’s are on at the moment, and I’m right in the middle of them, but I thought I’d better right a quick review just to let you know I haven’t given up with Ciao! As soon as the GCSE’s are up I will be writing reviews as often as possible. And today, my review is on the fairly new Zen Stone MP3 player. I recently decided that I needed a new MP3 player. I had the original Creative Zen MP3 player. That was a fairly big and bulky player, that had 20GB of space for music, and it was a pretty good player. But I recently made the mistake of charging up the ... more

Just recently Creative released the Zen Stone quite clearly to compete directly against the iPod Shuffle. Creative are one of Apple's main rivals and in the past few years they have released very similar products to each other. Creative up until now were not competing in the small mp3 player market against Apple. But they have released little player to compete against the iPod Shuffle. The player is a basic offering just like the shuffle that offers 1GB of space which is suitable for 250 tracks and it is also a screenless player. The player just like the Shuffle is ideal as a secondary mp3 ... more

I had to buy a new mp3 player after having my old one stolen. So I read some reviews on here and discovered the Creative Labs Zen stone. My budget was only around £30- £50 and this came in at a very reasonable £30 a year ago. The first thing that caught my eye about it was the size. It is absolutely tiny! It measures up at only 5x2.5x1cm. Definitely the smallest MP3 player I have ever come across. The only problem with it being so small is that there is no screen. So unfortunately it is not possible to search through a list of your music collection. However there is a button that allows you to ... more

My eldest monster was 11 in September and decided that he would like his own MP3 player, well it was a joint decision really because I had threatened him with beheading if he used mine again! We do have similar taste in music but it came to a head when he downloaded the killers onto my MP3 and deleted Guns N Roses! So as I am not the technical one in the family it was down to the other half to find one for him, so as this was obviously a very important task and like most men would take hours of trawling different sites to find the perfect one I left him to it. To my surprise this little box ... more
