MP3 Players : Creative Zen Stone Black

Creative dropped the Zen Stone seemingly out of nowhere to compete head-on with the iPod Shuffle, doing so at half the price with more to offer. Creative’s screenless player is a very basic offering - only audio playback and data storage. However, the player does step out of the current Zen lineup feature set by offering up true MSC drag and drop, catering to all operating systems.



The Zen Stone makes a great secondary player to your audio arsenal, handy for the gym or any place you need a simple, truly portable music solution.



The Zen Stone is an extremely basic screenless 1GB MP3 player. Without a screen, Creative added some nice features that allow you to easily and blindly navigate your tunes. The Zen Stone works with all modern operating systems and doubles as a standard data flash drive, making loading music and other files as easy as it gets. I really have a hard time finding a reasonable complaint for a screenless MP3 player priced at $40. If you need a simple music solution or something to accompany your other player, pick one up. You won’t be disappointed. Hide Full Review

Bought this about 3 months and has been working fantastic. Very compact and is cheap compared to its counterpart, ipod shuffle. Real value for money.

The only glitch i have seen is after connecting to a box running linux and unmounting, i have seen songs disappear. This happened only once but is scary. Hide Full Review

I love this MP3 Player. It last so long, and it totally even fits in tight jeans without a button being pushed (this drives me crazy with other tech products). HUGE memory of 1GB. I comletely recommend it. (Only con is, it has a boring look, kinda.) Hide Full Review
