Ah, thanks for the update my friend!  Now I know, <Smiles>

Sorry, for throwing a spanner in the works there, Adrian.

Hope you find the Zen you've ordered to be what you need!

the 2nd generation zenstone does have a speaker. I have a 1 gig one
here that does. i have not seen any of the 2 gig ones here but keep
looking.
the 1-gig model with its inbuilt speaker is maybe a tiny bit thicker
than the origianl Zenstone but if there is a difference, it is
negligible. The speakers are very very tiny and i personally have not
tried to play out of them as I doubt they'd sound too impressive.

the 1-gig Zenstone with speaker does not have any dispaly and is
identical in handling and performance than the 1st generation one.

The Zenstone 1GB doesn't have a built--in speaker and, so far as I
know, the ones that are 2GB at Amazon don't either ...  I'd be
inclined to think that makes it a little bigger and, well, maybe it
has a screen too ..  Dunno but hope someone else knows for sure.

Just to add to what graham says - no you don't have to use
any special
software to add content to the stone, just copy and paste
files and folders
to it like any other drive or folder in windows.

Make sure you get the stone, not the stone plus - the plus
models have a
screen and are less easy to use.

Hi

I am interested in getting a zenstone mp3 player. I have a
few questions to
ask:

Is creative media player or the software which comes with
the zenstone
accessible with hal?
Is it easy to use the zenstone itself?
I notice from the many lists that many vi people use
zenstone, I really want
to get one so that I can download
mp3 talking books as I am limited being in France, can you
recommend some
good sites please, Do I have to use the creative software to
copy my mp3's
to the zenstone?

These are just a few of the questions I have for now, no
doubt I'll have
more as time goes on, I only wish that I had taken notice of
the posts on
the groups over the past few months.

One last thing, can somebody please give me the website for
sendspace.

Regards

Adrien
