Amazon.com Product Description
The Creative Zen Stone is one of the smallest and most economical MP3 players you'll find anywhere. Compact enough to fit into almost any pocket and weighing less than an ounce, this featherweight player can be worn comfortably around your neck or on your arm while you're traveling or working out. With a capacity of 1 GB, the Stone holds about 250 songs, or 16 hours of music, in MP3 format (or 500 songs in WMA format). In addition, the player's convenient plug-and-play capabilities mean that you can simply connect the player to your PC--the player is only compatible with Windows XP or Vista operating systems--and drag-and-drop your music and data files between player and your computer without the need for special drivers. 
The featherweight Zen Stone (0.9 ounces) is one of the tiniest MP3 players on the market. | With smooth curves and a glossy black finish, this stylish MP3 player is designed to make you look good wherever you go. Ergonomically designed controls, including a conveniently placed quick-play mode switch, let you skip to the next song or folder, or randomly play all the songs in your player with a single touch. Changing play functions is as easy as sliding a toggle switch. The player also supports Audible 2, 3, and 4 formats in addition to MP3 and WMA files. And while the player is compatible with for-purchase WMA DRM files, it does not support portable subscription WMAs.  
The player's ergonomically designed controls make it easy to skip songs or access your favorite tracks. | Other details include a multicolor LED screen that notifies the listener of the unit's charging and playback status, support for Creative's Media Lite software (available via download), a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery that delivers up to 10 hours of continuous audio playback, and a USB 2.0 interface. The Zen Stone measures 2.1 by 1.4 by 0.5 inches (W x H x D), weighs 0.9 ounces, and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor. What's in the Box
Black Zen Stone MP3 player, earphone, USB 2.0 cable, quick-start leaflet.

 nifty little durable squirt of music July 5, 2008
Creative doesn't need me to applaud their littlest gadget music player. I've had mine over a year, but a few days ago I made the mistake of leaving it my gym pants and washed it. When my husband handed me the tangled little mess, Zenstone and headphones, I really thought I had to buy another player. My husband advised me to let the gadgets dry for a day or two before plugging it to recharge. I finally tried it, and I was shocked to see it flicker to life as it does in charge mode. Imagine my greater shock when I found the Zenstone and headphones worked. I'm listening to the player now as I type this review. I've always admired Creative products, but I thought I'd write this review for the newbies out there who are looking for a durable little player. It's perfect for using at the gym because of its size. Another private bit about the Zenstone. Instead of fumbling with player holders when I have no pockets in my gym pants, the Zenstone is small enough that I can stick into my bra during my two hour workout. Some time ago I bought the Zen V PLus, the 4 gb, but I still return to the 1 gb Zenstone. It's worth the value in durability and listening pleasure
 Piece of junk! June 29, 2008

This is a piece of JUNK.....don't buy it. Consider an Apple iPod Shuffle for just a few dollars more.
I received my Zen Stone 1GB player as a gift. Once I charged it up and loaded the music, it would play no more than 3 hours. The specs (and Creative support says it should play 10-12 hours. (I have since read some of the chat forums and many others are experiencing the same 3 hour playback.)
I inquired via there email support and got NO response at all.
I then called their support line and was told that I had to update the software, AND "repair" the player software. After having done all this, it still only played about 2 1/2 hrs.
I asked for a refund (or exchange) but because it was a gift (and I could not provide a dated receipt), they would only repair it if I paid $25. I told them it was not even worth $1.
So....save yourself much grief and money....DO NOT BUY THIS!!Creative Zen Stone 1 GB MP3 Player (Black)

Creative lives up to its name again June 15, 2008

This is THE secondary mp3 player to own. Even without a screen, it is easy to navigate the +hundred songs it stores because of the dedicated button on the top of it that skips from folder to folder.
It is perfect for operating in the car while I am driving, as I can flip through songs/albums easily without taking my eyes off the road. It is also great for taking on a jog or to the gym.
But the one reason I am writing this review is because today I lost the tiny USB cord that charges and transfers songs. It's only two inches long and easy to misplace. I realized I would have to order a new one, and cursed those greedy pigs at Creative for making a part so easy to misplace. Then it dawned on me that, unlike every other gadget in my house, this one does not use a proprietary format. Any standard USB 2.0 cord from a camera or other peripheral is compatible with this player! At that moment, I felt like Creative was looking out for me. They thought I might lose that tiny little cord, and they had my back. Thank you Creative.
Great low-end light-weight product June 2, 2008
I am very happy with this product. I saw some of the poor reviews complained about the controls not offering enough flexibility, or the poor earphones. These are true, but what do you want for $40? Some complained about battery life, and I have had NO problem with the batteries. I get at least 8-10 hours out of each charge.
The controls ARE a bit simiplistic, but I use this for listening to tunes while working out, and do not require a lot of control. If I wanted more control (which comes with more weight and size), I would've bought a fancier unit!
This is a great little unit. It weighs almost nothing, sounds good, and plays files in order with little difficulty. If you need more than that, look at the Zen Stone Plus, perhaps.
Would be nice if they had a belt-clip accessory for it though....
