Creative ZEN Stone 1 GB Black

Advantages: Small, elegant, cheap, gorgeous.
Disadvantages: No mobile power, small buttons.

...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 for how diddy it really is (now that was a hard photo to take) and I should point out I haven’t modified it in any way, it really is that small. You can get about two fifty pence coins on it. It’s also very light – with ...
...Use--- Unlike certain other Creative products with strange touch sensitive controls that don’t work, this one does. It’s just 5 buttons on the front (4 in a circular shape for volume and track control, and one in the middle for pause/play) and a slider on the top to control the level on randomness. The buttons aren’t touch sensitive, they’re good old fashioned buttons which you have to push. The only problem is that you have to get used to which ... Read review

Advantages: A fantastic, stylish little MP3 player!
Disadvantages: None really, no screen, but you don't expect one on this type of player!

...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 battery when it was nearly full already. This caused a problem with the battery, so now it would only play for about an hour on a medium volume, and even less if any louder. So I decided it was about time for a new player. My Dad had recently ...
...but I decided since the Creative Zen was black, I would go for a change and get the white one! All of the colours available have a glossy finish, and this gives the player a fantastic look! The shine that comes off the player looks very stylish! On the front of the player, there is a very small LED light, and also the word ‘ZEN’, obviously to let you know what make it is. On the back of the player there are the words ‘Creative’ and ‘ZEN STONE’ ... Read review

Advantages: Stylish, easy to use and very cute
Disadvantages: Charging is by computer

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 ...
...different sites to find the perfect one I left him to it. To my surprise this little box turned up a week later with this product inside, so had the other half found the perfect one? SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? For me this is the most important bit! Not being into all the technical jargon if it looks good and not too many buttons then it's all right with me! I was actually quite shocked at how tiny it is I mean really tiny compared to mine. It actually ... Read review

...closets computer wont have the Creative program installed. The player itself produces a high quality of sound, with minimum outside noise- but that may be my head phones. It has no LCD screen which is where other players beat it, and it doesnt come with any way to attatch to you but you can buy arm bands and clips for it. You hold down the play/puase button to turn on and off, it takes a few seconds to start which can be annoying. It has skip forward ...
...afore mentioned slide to change folders, or to repeat track or folder. The buttons are quite small, so if you are a bit ham fisted you may not like them. And there is no hold or lock to stop you from accidentally turning it on and off but I have only done this once anyway. There is only 1gb of memory which for some people will be a lot but others may think it is quite small- I dont have much music so I think it is the perfect size for me. ... Read review
