Creative Zen Stone Plus 2 GB

I bought the white version of this player for my girlfriend in October 2007 and when it arrived my first impression was 'wow! that is really really small'. She loved it and everyone lived happily ever after.... only I couldn't help but crave for a little Zen Stone Plus of my own. I am now awaiting the black 4GB version since at £39.99 from amazon it is better value (£5 more than the 2GB version). My mother has the Zen Stone (1GB and no screen), I would have to say that it is worth paying the extra few pounds to buy the Zen Stone Plus because the display allows you to utilise these extra features: 1. Track name and elapsed/remaining time 2. Battery ...  Read the complete review

The Zen Stone Plus for me was a bit of a backwards step, having previously used a Zen Vision M, which had a 60gb capacity and colour screen, videos, photos all of those kind of luxuries. A few months ago it broke and after going a month or two without an mp3 player I decided I couldn't wait around any longer for the magical self healing of my poor Vision M and hit the second had electrical store: CEX. What a store that is! But I'll save all that for another review perhaps. My eyes ignored the colourful iPod nanos and older generation iPod videos and rested on the Zen Stone Plus. Sleek, black and undeniably stone like in appearance I directed the man behind ...  Read the complete review

This little jukebox perfectly met my criteria: 1. Cheap 2. Enough space to hold a few files and audio books 3. Small enough to put in shirt pocket/hang from lanyard 4. Works like a memory stick/drag'n'drop 5. Blind/tactile controls 6. Radio 1. Cheap I bought it in 2007 for less than £40 (from Amazon). That price to meet my criteria is a bargain. 2. Capacity 2GB is easily enough, I don't feel the need to carry my entire music collection about with me and I'm frequently sitting in front of a PC so I typically choose what I want to listen to on a daily/weekly basis. There's easily enough space ...  Read the complete review

In this day and age, it's probably fair to say there's a lot of choice for someone looking for a portable music device. Since MP3's arrived on the scene in particular, the marketplace has been awash with many different electronics brands touting many different types of player for the consumer to choose from. In fact, if someone were to ask me what the best MP3 player on the market was, I doubt I would be able to give a definitive answer. There are simply so many machines available nowadays, with so many different features that the question becomes less about which one is the best in general, and more about which one is the best for your situation. I have found ...  Read the complete review

It is immediately distinguishable by the resemblance of its predecessor, the Creative Zen Stone. It is described as Creative's second attempt to challenge the Ipod Shuffle. Sadly, the supplied headphone still produces awful sound quality, which requires a set of additional headphones to truly enjoy music. One of the most noticeable feature is the tiny display screen placed next to the controls. Despite its size, it does effectively allow you to tune settings, search for tracks and show information on the current song playing. Even with the pressure of the display screen, the player still only weights 19 grams which is undoubtedly lightweight. The ...  Read the complete review
