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 pink 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

 works great for me! September 2, 2008
I don't really consider myself to be in the iPod generation but I really love this little player. I got a free MP3 player (generic) which ended up breaking so I went looking for a replacement. I especially like the Zen Stone for its speaker so that I don't have to use the earbuds. I use it while gardening to just clip on the inside of my shirt or to set out while I do exercise. I use it while playing guitar to be able to have the song I am working on right in front of me to listen to different parts of it.
The only thing I have had an issue with is the same as some people have mentioned before which is the charging. To me it holds the battery life fine but I have not used others to compare. The issue I have had is my computer not recognizing the player when I hook it up on USB to charge and I did the same thing as was mentioned, I plugged it in overnight to charge and went to bed without realizing that it hadn't actually connected. You sometimes have to really make sure that it is connected or change USB cables, or it might be that I am still on Win2000pro? Either way I always make sure that it is connected when I charge and then it works great for me!
 Outstanding for the money August 10, 2008

The Creative Zenstone is very small, does what it's supposed to do, has adequate earphones, and is extremely easy to load. I got mine on the clearance end table at W.Mart for about 1/2 retail. I've purchase 3 of them so far. I like wearing it while exercising at the club, It's a lot easier to move from aparatus to aparatus than with my Zune. It even came with a skin and clip! Highly recommended if you can get it at the right price.
 I must concur with those who never got it to work July 2, 2008
I have the black one, and this thing has been a frustration from the beginning. I have never got it to work. My PC recognizes it, but gives me an I/O error. Media Player refuses to recognize it. I have never got it to play, and can't figure out why. Now it does not turn on at all, and I figure it is a dead battery. It could be my problem, but with nothing but a blinking light to go by - how can you tell what is the problem?
Junk. June 5, 2008
I see from other reviews that it might just be the quality of the pink one (as they say, get the black one? or just save the extra for the iPod Shuffle). Anyways, it worked nicely just about long enough for the general warranty to run out. Since then it's had major issues with the connection between the earbud jack and the player. Sometimes pressing it in *really* hard helps. Sometimes it needs to be at a certain angle. My kid sister had a different brand of cheap mp3 player for a while and experienced similar problems.
Also, the lowest volume setting is still kinda loud in a totally silent environment. I found this ironic considering the rabid "protect your ears" warnings that came with the documentation. And when you turn it down beyond the lowest setting, the sound cuts out completely, which can be confusing the first time it happens.
Moral of the story: you get what you pay for. Save for something nicer. Or at the very least, don't get this color.
1 GB MP3 May 19, 2008
Simple to use, and the inexpensive price on this Creative Zen trumps the cost that is added to other manufacturers who mass advertise to sell their product. This internal battery 1 GB MPS is perfect for my active lifestyle. I take it everywhere. The software is simple - like drag and drop, easy to change tracks. I'm very happy -
