 Zen Stone & Audiobooks....Perfect Together!!! May 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I decided to purchase this Zen Stone to listen to audiobooks while driving to & from work. This MP3 is perfect, compact, easy to use, play back clarity is great. For the price, 1 gig is plenty for audiobooks.
Stops & starts where you leave off in the audiobook which to me is awesome. I would highly recommend!!!
excellent small mp3 player April 16, 2008
I bought this mp3 player to take with me when I'm snowboarding - it's cheap, durable, and I don't miss having a display, since it usually doesn't work well in cold weather anyway. The Stone only has basic controls, but I don't really need a whole lot more than next/back/on/off/vol up/vol down when I'm on the hill. I bought a keychain case for it, so I just clip it to my jacket and I'm good to go. If anything were to happen to it, it's inexpensive enough that I could just go out and grab a new one. Also - if you can, encode in WMA and you'll be able to get a LOT of songs on it.
 mediocre April 15, 2008

It didn't cost much, and holds plenty of material.
Navigation is difficult without some sort of display. And I can't get the controls to work the way I think they ought to work. I downloaded a 30-minute podcast, and found something interesting in the last 5 minutes. When I went back to find it, I wanted to skip to the end, and then scan backwards to the interesting part. But, from the end of a recording, holding down the "back" key seems to take it to the beginning of the first file in the directory.
Also, it's really, really, quiet. I've got it plugged into the Aux channel of my Scion's stereo, which was designed to accept an MP3 player. With the radio at max and the headset volume at max, I can usually hear the recordings fairly well. But, of course, when I put a CD in the player, I'm blasted out.
For a music downloading neophyte like myself this is a great product. April 12, 2008
I only want to download some songs & radio programs for occasional use. I don't have time to listen very often but when I walk I need something to listen to. The price was very affordable and it was shipped within one day of my order. It's easy to use. If you don't need all the "bells and whistles" and don't have a lot of money to spend I would recommend this.
 good for mac too April 8, 2008
it is a very basic player- but since i havent ever owned a mp3 player, i wanted something i could make sense out of... i think it is good for the money, i got it on sale for 30 dollars and after taking forever to figure out how to convert itunes over to mp3's, moving music was never easier... i own a mac, so i had some concern over people saying "oh the player is only for windows" ... well, its just the software that comes with it works with windows, doing it on a mac was easier... i just plugged it into my usb port on my imac and dragged the folder over to the player and i was done! played great - i love the 'max volume' feature i can access on my brothers pc though, since the kids get ahold of this and want to turn it up all the way.
