Creative - Zen Stone Plus

Summary: Earlier this year Creative released a simple music player called the Zen Stone, as an obvious rival to Apple's iPod Shuffle. The big advantage of the Zen Stone was its price, but it was quite basic. ... Read the full review

Verdict: A Zen Stone with a screen and double the storage sounds like a recipe for success, but too many ingredients have spoiled a potentially Shuffle-beating dish

Creative ZEN Stone Plus

(7/27/07)
Summary: The ZEN Stone Plus, at 2GB, has twice the storage of the original ZEN Stone, a screen, FM radio, and voice recording. This is about as cheap as it gets for a reliable 2 GB player (the screen-less 1GB iPod Shuffle is $80), but if storage isn't your main priority, the 1GB Sansa Express is better solution (and costs $10 less).

Pros: ; Small and lightweight. FM radio. Voice recording. Stopwatch and clock. EQ options. Can delete songs on device itself. Snazzy date/time display.
Cons: ; Short USB cable. So-so earbuds. Annoyingly long start-up time. No way to monitor voice recorder.

Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: For those who want a super small and cute MP3 player that offers more than just simple music playback, the Creative Zen Stone Plus fits the bill nicely.
Pros: ; The Creative Zen Stone Plus comes in a choice of six colors and offers 2GB of storage for less than $70. It includes some handy extras, such as an FM tuner, a stopwatch, and a voice recorder. The player also has good sound quality.
Cons: ; The Zen Stone Plus interface is not totally intuitive, and the screen is too small to display full track info. It also doesn't offer full ID3 tag sorting for music, and the rated battery life is unimpressive.

Verdict: Creative is in the habit of taking Apple's digital music proposition and offering a higher-specified device for less money. The Zen Stone Plus falls neatly into this category with its Shuffle-beating set of features, though you have to accept life with the inferior Windows Media Player to organise the music between your player and your
