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

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.
