I have one as well. Only thing I haven't figured out Jim is if it will
reliably remember your place in a book when switching files or folders. I
think it always goes to the beginning which is a pain. I know you can hold
down the arrows to search through a file which helps a little. Andrea got
one of these as well.

Hi, I sure do own a couple of these gems, it charges from the USB port,
takes about two hours to have a fully charged player that will last for 12
hours.
There is software that you can use if you want, that when a music CD is
placed into your drive, will automatically rip the songs to your Zen.
But, you do not need to use the software, you can use Windows Explorer or My
computer to copy songs to the device.
It will play MP3, WMA, and Audible books, but you need to use Windows Media
Player to transfer audible books because of copy protection.
Of course, you can also use it as a standard jump drive as well for
transporting files around.
Just one button, one button is all there is to press, surrounded by four
arrow keys, plus a switch to go from random to sequential play.
There is a 2 gig model as well, but that one has a screen and FM radio, so
it is not as easy to use.

Thanks so much, Jim. I've never heard of the Creative Zen Stone Player. I
think I'll give that a try. Have you used one before? I sure have missed
all of the wisdom that is shared on this list.
With a smile,
Karen
