User Submitted Creative Zen Stone 2 GB MP3 Player with Built-in Speaker and Clip (Champagne White) ReviewsDate: 2008-11-18 IF ALL YOU NEED IS MUSIC, GREAT ITEM PURCHASED THIS MP3 PLAYER FOR MY WIFE TO USE ON SEVERAL UP COMING PLANE TRIPS. NO SPECIAL SOFTWARE IS NEEDED, BUT SOME COMES WITH IT. THE SPEAKER FEATURE IS A REAL PLUS. WE DO HAVE SEPERATE MUSIC FOLDERS, JUST TURN UNIT ON, SELECT FOLDER, SIT BACK AND ENJOY. WILL ALSO, STORE DATA SUCH AS OWNERSHIP INFO. CLIP AND CASE GREAT. ONLY COMPLAINT, THE USB CABLE SUPPLIED WITH UNIT IS SO SHORT IT IS HARD TO EVEN SEE. PURCHASED A LONGER CORD AT ANOTHER ONLINE MERCHANT. ONE THING IS A PAIN, IF YOU PLUG INTO 1.1 USB, YOU GET A MESSAGE ABOUT 2.0 PORTS BEING FASTER. OVERALL, THIS IS GREAT BASIC MP3 PLAYER. I WOULD GIVE IT A 5.0 IF THE CABLE WAS LONGER. Date: 2008-11-16 A COOL MINI OBJECT WITH SPEAKER. I LIKED IT SO MUCH I BOUGHT A SECOND BLUE ONE. I LIKE IT MUCH BETTER THAN THE ZEN PLUS WITH DISPLAY BUT NO SPEAKER AN NO RUBBER GLOVE. (THE DISPLAY IS NOT NEEDED ACTUALLY). SMALL CAN BE GOOD! Date: 2008-11-14 WORKS WITH LIME WIRE IT IS AS SIMPLE AS DRAG AND DROP FROM LIME WIRE TO THIS LITTLE MP3 PLAYER. IT IS EXCELLENT. Date: 2008-10-31 DON'T BUY CREATIVE! 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. Date: 2008-10-13 Nice slick player 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.
