 WORKS WITH LIME WIRE November 14, 2008

IT IS AS SIMPLE AS DRAG AND DROP FROM LIME WIRE TO THIS LITTLE MP3 PLAYER. IT IS EXCELLENT.
 DON'T BUY CREATIVE! October 31, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The first mp3 player I bought was by Sony and it has worked pretty well, but since I didn't care for the design or the menu, I thought I'd buy a different brand this time around. The Stone really appealed because of its price, looks, and features. So I spent a lot of time reading reviews and despite the number of people that said theirs randomly stopped working, I still ending up ordering a Stone because of the price.
WHAT A MISTAKE! I started using the Stone right away and everything was going well. I laughed at myself for worrying. THE VERY NEXT DAY, my FULLY CHARGED Stone WOULD NOT TURN ON! I couldn't use the recovery tool that I downloaded from Creative either because when I connected the Stone, it wouldn't show up on the computer. MY STONE WAS DEAD WITHIN TWO DAYS OF USE!
So, there goes fifty bucks. (I bought the 2GB plus with speaker.)
Other reasons not to buy the Stone:
It is ridiculously hard to turn on and off and you have to press for way too long. The middle button isn't big enough or something. Whenever I try to turn it off, I end up turning up the volume super loud instead.
When you reach the end of a list, it doesn't go back up to the first one.
You can't choose individual songs in a folder.
Changing the mode it's playing (in one folder, on repeat, shuffle, etc.) takes way too long. I have to press the middle button, right towards options, down to play mode, and then up and down.
You can't browse music and listen to music at the same time. So let's say I want to go from my Carnival Ride folder to my Some Hearts folder. Well, as soon as I switch over to Some Hearts, Flat On the Floor is cut off because Wasted interrupts it and starts playing.
The clock doesn't work. When you connect the stone to your computer, it asks if you want to sync the time to your computer time and I said yes. Like an hour later, I checked the clock on the Stone and it reset. O_o Before my Stone died, I had synced it twice and both times this happened.
I think I've made my point. THE STONE IS A BAD BUY! So don't buy it.
 Nice slick player October 13, 2008
Very slick, convenient capacity, long battery life, plus you don't need batteries, loud speaker.. only lacks a screen, which would have otherwise made it 5 stars.
Zen stone September 30, 2008

Purchased this zen for my eight year old daughter. She uses it everyday. Her favorite part is the speaker, she can share her music with her friends. This product is easy to download music to. The only thing I do not like on this product is the randomize music selection. I can not find out how to put the music in a order that my daughter likes.
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).
