The new ZEN Stone is impossibly small but holds up to 500 hundred songs with 10 hours of continuous audio playback. With a capacity of 1 GB, it weighs less than an ounce. It plays music in Normal, Shuffle, or Repeat Mode, which makes it a good option if you're always on the go. For me, it's my music player of choice for the gym.

Available in six attractive colors from Creative Labs, the MP3 Player is set in a glossy finish, and designed with user-friendly plug-and-play capabilities, making it easy to transfer files smoothly from the computer to your ZEN Stone . If you want, you can download the free integrated software, Creative Media Lite, to add features, but I'm using mine right out of the box (though I'll have to download it when I want to convert audio CD tracks into MP3 files).
