Zoe, Birmingham
Score 8.0/10+ Great small MP3 player, with good sound quality. Can fit loads of music on it and battery life seems pretty good so far. Great speaker too although the radio is poor. Very easy to put music on and charge through the USB. Also get a free skin and clip which is great for running/the gym.
- Browsing through the folders takes a while as its quite slow and the music stops as you are browsing which is quite annoying. It takes too long to browse through 2gb worth of music so I tend to make playlists on my computer and just play these.

Andy, Douglas, Isle of Man
Score 10.0/10+ first of all the size is great then when you download the software from creative labs the zen is easy, to use great for porting your music.
- i can not think of any.

Score 6.0/10+ Very small, very lightweight, ideal for the gym or just generally. Lots of features and looks good too. Very easy to load with tunes.
- Menus are a bit illogical and it can be rather tedious to navigate. Battery life is shocking, quoted at about 10hrs but seems to be more like less than 2 hrs, I'm considering returning mine in case this is a one off fault. Some WMAs that I loaded don't seem to play but not sure why as others do.

Score 10.0/10+ It's tiny, fits on loads of songs, has a radio, excellent sound quality!
- I use mine when I'm running and it doesn't have any clips on it (although you can buy cases that do).

Score 9.0/10+ Good design, small enough to carry around with you, superb sound quality, easy to set up drag & drop software included.
- At first, the menu seems a little fiddley, but easy to get used to.

Expert reviews for Creative Zen Stone Plus 2GB
TechRadar expert review
Think of the Zen Stone Plus as a shuffle-sized MP3 player, but with a display and built-in radio tacked on. It has twice the storage capacity of a shuffle (2GB or 4GB), and can browse tracks before playing. There's even a speaker and microphone on the Zen Stone Plus, as well as a stopwatch. On features, at least, is has the shuffle beat hands down.Not a radio for on the moveSound quality is on a par with the shuffle, but what about usability? Some of the extra features of the Zen Stone Plus didn't respond so well. The radio is great if you are sitting still, but quickly gets patchy…

We're so accustomed to Apple dominating the MP3 player market that it's difficult for other players to make an impact. However, with its 2GB of space and neat array of colours, we think Creative may be on to something with the Zen Stone Plus.It sits in the palm of your hand and weighs next to nothing. With clear and easy controls you can find your favourite tunes or simply choose to shuffle your songs randomly. Simply plug into your laptop and you can drag and drop files to it. The sound quality is impressive, but even better is the remarkable battery life, as we managed to get well…
