 Disappointed June 10, 2008
I was so excited with i got my Creative Zen Stone. Yes the charge life was horrible, but that was not much of a concern for me. I liked the fact that it was small and perfect for working out. Overall i thought it was a neat little gadget until it suddenly stopped working after 2 months. I attempted to turn it on one afternoon and the creative logo appeared on the screen and wouldn't go away. I could not access my music and the device would not turn off . I'm highly disappointed...i expected more from this company.
Creative Zen Stone Plus May 17, 2008
It's a great little mp3 player. It's basically a shuffle. You can make folders but that uses up more space so it's basically organization vs. amount of music. Plus definitely get a little case for it because mine got scratched up pretty quickly and I was very careful. I guess because it's such a small screen one or two little nicks are very annoying.
You can choose language, sound settings (according to genre and there's a custom setting), there's fmradio with tons of presets. It's definitely worth sixty bucks! I recommend it.
 Creative Zen review April 28, 2008
I was enjoying the player immensely when after only 7 weeks it just stopped working. Since it was past 30 days i could not return it via amazon.com and had to call Creative directly. Their customer service staff were insulting. I explained what was wrong and told I needed to "troubleshoot" over the phone. When I said to Arnold, the rep, "there is an on/off switch, when I press it nothing happens, what exactly do you think we can troubleshoot?" his response was, that perhaps I wasn't charging the unit correctly. Now if it had only been 2 or 3 days I would have seen the logic in this, but after 7 weeks this was a ridiculous suggestion. I was then directed to a web site to request RNA. The website did not work. I searched the entire Creative web site and found only one place were a text email could be sent. After sending email to this link, I was finally provided an RNA and am still waiting to receive the player back. I would most definitely not recommend this or any Creative product.
Less to be desired April 18, 2008
When I received this item, I thought it was cool, small enough to carry anywhere and durable so I could listen for hours. Well, I was in for a rude awakening; when I tried to play back my downloaded songs, after about 1 hour of play the battery was already at two bars, then after 2 hours down to one. Needs constant charging. Also, shuffled songs keep playing over and over, making you sick of hearing the songs. I'm not surprised though, how could such a small unit possess longevity and good sequence. Nice try Creative Zen - but no cigar!
Zen Stone Plus is good for the money February 18, 2008
The Zen Stone Plus does all that it says in the product description. However, there are drawbacks to this device that I enjoyed with the shuffle. The first is that it doesn't come with a built in clip, which is a constant struggle in that I only use it for workouts. Having to buy a separate clip that does not firmly attach to the unit is a daily annoyance. I happened to purchase the sport pack which included the skin, clip, and armband. I haven't found a good use for the armband. The skin covers the screen making it hard to navigate.
The battery life seems to be extremely short and it since it has multiple functions, this means charging it after every workout (4 times a week).
Sometimes the on/off function is a challenge in that you have to hold the button for at least 5 seconds.
The other drawback is the short USB cord - 5 inches long.
I do enjoy the portability of the device and the sound is good. For the money and storage size, this does offer more than the shuffle including a radio, timer, stopwatch, recorder, music, and screen. But if you want more from a smaller device, I would recommend the Zen V or Zen V plus, which is in the same price range with a bigger color screen.
My overall rating is 3.5 out of 5 stars.
