My Wife Loves it! September 5, 2008 I purchased this mp3 for my wife and she loves it. The internal speaker is very useful for use at her job and she uses it. The sound is a little, tinny, but it's better than always HAVING to use ear buds. I've recommended it friends and family.
creative zen stone plus 2 mp3 player August 30, 2008 purchased item for my 8yr old daughter and it was perfect. easy to use, displays lyrics and has built in speaker, her favorite features. So far has been a reliable product w/good battery life. As w/most mp3 players, the factory earphones could be better fitting, but as they say you get what you pay for and this was under $50- and well worth it. BTW, the picture is somewhat decieving in displaying actual size, it does not provide measurements and is slightly bigger than a small box of matches. The clip and rubber coated clear cover are also a plus.
love this item August 19, 2008 I ordered this for myself, for walking etc...love the fact that there is a speaker on it!great size, not too much money, my 11 year old daughter loved it so much, I ordered her one too..price works for me, don't need the expensive brand name one
Great Little MP3 Player July 30, 2008 This MP3 player is wonderful for listenting to books or music. 2 GB can hold quite a few. The speaker works well if you clip it to your collar, or you can insert headphones or earbuds for more privacy. I carry it with me wherever I go!
Good compact MP3 Player with Speaker/Radio June 23, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a great, small mp3 player. I was looking at it because a friend has an iPod Shuffle, and this was close in size. I'm not fond of iTunes, so I was looking for a non-Apple alternative. My friend now likes my mp3 player better then hers.
I really like the speaker function, as I don't have a stereo hook-up for the two rooms I use the most to listen to music: the kitchen and the bathroom. I like the fact that you can create folders and sub folders to organize your music however you want. To my knowledge, this device doesn't support playlists like other, larger/more expensive players, but that's fine by me I just have music organized by mood, set it to shuffle folder, and then let it play. (Although I know someone who said he was able to SYNC it with Windows Media Player.)
It uses an internal-chargable battery, and only comes with a cable to charge it via USB port, so you'll have to buy an AC wall plug-charger if you won't be hooking it to your computer often. I've never had the battery low on me, yet, but I do charge it every weekday.
I wasn't fond of the included earbud headphones, but they make a good spare pair to keep around. The radio uses your headphone wires to act as an antenna, so even though it can play the radio over the speaker, you'll have to have the headphones attached.
The interface is easy to use, and it even inverts, making it easy to switch the view on the go without having to re-attache a sports-band or skin. I like the small clip-on skin that comes with it - its sturdy enough for a moderate workout, and clips easily to your clothes for around the house activities.
Overall, I'm very happy with this unit. It fits into my purse, easily connects to my computer for charging, you can drag-an-drop files into it, or you can use the software available online to manage its files.
Even though the speaker is great for a room, it will probably be overwhelmed in larger areas, so later I'm going the get the Creative multi-use adapter and an larger, external speaker that works with the player and the adapter, and this will be my "boombox". Awesome!
