Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen Stone 1 GB MP3 Player (Black)
Digital camera Review: Outstanding For Price
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want an mp3 player to run/workout with, and all you need is 1gb of space, then this is the player for you. Its incredibly lightweight, easy to use, and has up to 10 hours of playing time. I use it while training for marathons and I can tell you that I have never had any problem with getting it wet (with sweat or water) or had any trouble with it shutting down while I'm running. The only irritating thing is that every once in a while the headphones pop out of my ears while I'm running, but that's easily fixed with different headphones.Digital camera Review: Overall Good Priced Player

First few days owning this and i have to say i am really impressed with its performance. Sound Quality is simply superior, nicely done. major ups on this product is the "folder" option, where you can find songs a lot easier...for example you have 2 folders one for rock one for pop, you can switch folders to listen to the music specifically in that folder or you can switch it to shuffle mode where it will play every song (shuffled). some major downs about this product that i notice is that it doesn't have a hold/lock button, and sometimes while i listen to my music it switches, buttons are very easily pressed but are solid enough to a point where accidents like pushing the forward button can be avoided. another thing is you have to charge directly from the computer, which i find annoying and the USB plug to the computer is extremely small, good for those people who have their whole computer next to them. the plastic cover can pick up fingerprints easily if you have the black one. but nonetheless, this is an overall good player, i would recommend it to others...its only 40 dollars, quality already satisfies me, this mp3 is definitely worth your moneyDigital camera Review: Perfect for Mass Transit

I bought this last minute because my Samsung mp3 is stuck on hold and I don't have the time or patience to trouble shoot.
I picked my neon-green Zen because it is cheap,I'm not in to the whole IPOD frenzy.I just need something to listen to on my way to work on the subway.
Charging only took three hours and after you download the content from Creative,everything else is a piece of cake.It's very easy to download files,I will see how durable it is since I just ordered the key ring/case to put it in.If it holds up to the task,I might just upgrade to tehe Zen Stone Plus with the FM Tuner.
Digital camera Review: Perfect for Newer/Younger Crowd or Companion Player
Summary: 5 Stars
I currently own a 30gb Zen Vision M, and previously a 20gb Zen Touch, so I am a loyal Creative customer. When I heard about the Stone, I felt I couldn't pass it up, mostly for the price alone and how great it looks. I figured I will get a lot of use out of it for the times I'm in a hurry and want to get an album loaded quickly, or just don't feel like carrying the larger Vision around.
Nothing to complain about as far as functionality goes. Sound quality is as I would expect from a Creative player. I've so far used it mostly plugged into my car stereo and it sounds just as good as my hard-drive based player. The folder switch button is a plus, as it allows you to skip between folders/albums/however you care to organize. In my opinion it's nearly identical to the 12-cd changer in the back of my Jeep, but it holds more music and I can toss it in my pocket when I get out!
I don't mind the lack of a hold button, as there are only a few buttons that could really affect playback, and they are not as sensitive as other players. I do plan on purchasing either a skin or the keychain for it, just to give it a little extra protection.
This player is a great choice for a younger person or someone who is new to owning and managing an mp3 player, or, as in my case, as a companion to your player that already holds all of your music collection!
Hope you like my customer images posted for this product!

I wanted no frills for the gym and this fit the bill. Works great with the armband I also ordered. Easy to use, cute and tiny.
