Creative Zen Stone Plus (2GB, red) review

By (cnet.com)

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

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

For those who want a supersmall and cute MP3 player that offers more than just simple music playback, the Creative Zen Stone Plus fits the bill nicely.

By Tim Gideon (pcmag.com)

Creative has given its barebones ZEN Stone a radical update. The new ZEN Stone Plus adds several features the original Stone lacked: an OLED screen, twice the storage (i.e., 2GB), an FM tuner, voice recording, a stopwatch/clock, and EQ options. Not ...

Small and lightweight. FM radio. Voice recording. Stopwatch and clock. EQ options. Can delete songs on device itself. Snazzy date/time display.

Short USB cable. So-so earbuds. Annoyingly long start-up time. No way to monitor voice recorder.

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 ...

The ZEN Stone Plus supports WMA, MP3, and WAV files—no AAC support here, so...

Satisfied ! 

Everything including price: $50. (unlike some competitive ones who has no screen, made of metal, and need special software to copy which went for $75)

A bit slow
