A little Gem (excuse the pun)
(5 out of 5) by BD on Sep 18, 2009 (UK)I am somebody who loves listening to music, loves playing and recording music and is very fussy about the equipment I use to play it.
Quite simply the 1GB Stone player from Creative is an amazing kit for the money! Build quality is seemly indestructible, sound quality perfectly acceptable, and the design a perfect illustration of less is more. The standard headphones are the usual rubbish one gets as standard with most mp3 players, but spend around a tenner on pair of upgrade in the ear jobbies and the improvement is obvious.
Ownership of the Stone player demonstrates two things. Firstly that you are not a tragic slave to fashion of the apple equivalent. Secondly, you are also showing that you have more sense than money as this player is significantly cheaper than the equivalent apple machine and in this reviewer's opinion, a superior product. Also no silly I-tunes software install needed on your PC either, this player is simply a drag and drop usb device that plays WMA (Windows media Audio) files so no file conversion needed either.
I honestly can't think of a single reason not to buy one. It's cheap, it looks good, it functions well, it's reliable and should the worst happen (i.e. if some `yoof' decides to nick it, or you drop it) a new one is only the price of a CD! Buy one of these little beauties and you won't regret it.
