 Excellent alternative to iPod July 24, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
If you're looking for something fancy, this definitely isn't the player for you. If really just want something that plays your favorite songs because you're either new to this technology and are afraid of something too complicated or are looking for a basic extra player to take to the gym or to keep your sanity while on the bus/train every day, then keep reading.
NOTE: this does NOT work with subscription music programs. If that's how you get most of your music, you have now been warned to look elsewhere. Any music that you have truly "bought", however, should work -- licensed files are going to be more complicated to transfer than their DRM-free counterparts, of course, but both will work.
Presuming you don't mind the lack of a screen. . . what's not to like about this player? Not only is it small and easy to control like an iPod shuffle, but it also includes a little speaker if you'd like to easily let someone else in the room listen in and lets you transfer music by dragging and dropping the files into it. No quirky transfer software necessary! (It does include an optional software program if you'd like one, though.) Oh, and did I mention this is generally selling for around $40 or less at the time of this writing. . . and comparable iPods aren't?
The in-box earbuds aren't anything spectacular if sound quality is a major concern to you, but this is easily fixed by plugging in a better pair -- the player will put them to good use. The battery life isn't exactly spectacular for not having the huge power drain of a screen, but that's likely forgivable if you're near a computer to be able to plug this in regularly. The cable's a standard mini USB, so no worries if you lose the tiny little one that comes with it.
This product is a STEAL July 15, 2008

I already own a Zen Vision:M 30GB player, which I have adored from the moment it arrived. It has been a year and a half and the battery life on my Zen:M is still perfect! I ordered this Zen stone because I am going on a trip and don't want to take my more valuable player. Not only was it on a fabulous sale, with free shipping, but it arrived much earlier than expected! I fully charged the player last week, and have been listening to it every day, and still have no had the battery run out. The directions are simple and easy to figure out. It comes with a flexible case, which is clear and is great to use in my opinion because the case has the optional clip, that you can use for running or even grocery shopping! Sound is great (with a good pair of headphones of course). It is very easy to transfer files, particularly if you already have a Zen product, as you can use the Creative media source organizer to transfer between your two zen products, or your computer and your zen products. The player also comes with its own program if you would rather use that. The only downside I see at the moment is that the package does not include an AC charger adaptor, only the adaptor for charging on your computer. I intend to buy one, but don't know the prices yet.
Will update when I have owned the player for more time to find any cons. But for now, I love it!
Perfect for Workouts! July 19, 2008

I love my 4th gen iPod, but it's kind of heavy and big for workouts, plus I worry about the hard drive, so I started looking for something a fraction of the size with fewer moving parts. This is what I ended up getting.
I would have bought it sooner, but I didn't want to have to buy any accessories for it. This new version came with a skin that has a place for the included clip to be attached. Yay!
And what a great price with Amazon Prime shipping! I ordered it yesterday, it arrived this evening and in three hours it was charged with hundreds of new tunes freshly installed. It's now in my gym bag ready to go in the morning. Talk about simple, light and efficient.
Big bonus: The A/C adapter charger to my new ipaq works perfectly with the Zen Stone. All of life should be so flexible.

I should have waited to write the review after I used it. I just used it this morning and it was GREAT!! I didn't use the earbuds that came with it- used my own instead, but the sound was clear and the volume went plenty loud enough for me. I had it on shuffle and although it seemed to favor ABBA, it gave me a super variety of music. Great product, worth every 3400+ pennies!
Finally! An MP3 player with a speaker! May 2, 2008

Since boombox are becoming less common and Mp3 player's taking over the market...I don't know why company won't put out a product that can play your mp3 music out loud? They don't expect us to use our headphones all the time?
This is a great gadget...small enough to take everywhere and the sounds is really good for such a small device.
Great Item September 2, 2008

I bought this when I got fed up with being bored on long flights. While it doesn't have enough juice to power my noise-canceling headphones, it has great battery life and sounds even with the small ear buds. It's great for jogging as well. Highly recommended over the more expensive IPOD shuffle. I've owned both now and like this one better (probably because I'm just plain cheap).
