In store at Morrisons.

Nice looking player, good sound quality, and a nice alternative to an iPod shuffle.

yep, I've got one of these and there well worth the money.

Had to return my first one as faulty but Creative handle returns really well as did the store that I purchased from. Other than that and the slightly tinny speakers you really can't go wrong. :thumbs:

Can you plug different headphones in if they not up to scratch, how long is the cable?

I take it theres no screen on it as well!

apparently it's just like an ipod shuffle. Check the amazon reviews here (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=8)

I wouldn't necessarily say they aren't upto scratch there just a tad tinny, inline with alot of headphones that come with mp3 players i.e. I fealt the same about the ones that came with my Zen 8gb - its perhaps just a subjective thing though. You can replace them of course.

No this version of the stone doesn't have a screen (I think its the stone plus which has a screen of sorts), the way this stone works is theres a switch which you flick on the side of the player and it changes between folders so the idea is to put your albums into individual folders and use the switch to flick between them, your navigating blind of course but its not too much of a hassle. :)

Saw this, went to Morrisons in Hinckley, Leicestershire and they are still £20.
Doesn't appear to be all stores.

Bargain!

These are great, and you don't need any special software to load your mp3's onto them either.

Plug it in, and it appears as a mass-storage device on your pc. You then just drag and drop the files onto it. You can even create folders, and skip folders during playback.

Loads in the Keighley store, in blue or silver. Thanks OP, just what I was looking for, for the gym and those mad moments I take to the moors :thumbs:

Picked up what was probably the last blue Zen at the Camden branch at lunch time. Nice little player and very handy to put in my pocket when I don't have a bag with me. Will give it a test later.
