I wish I knew how menu and control navigation worked on the Zen Stone Plus. I looked at one today but it was not charged so the store staff could not show me how it worked. The plus looks a lot like the regular Stone with the addition of a small screen. However, the 3 position slider is replaced by a rocker style button that appears to have two functions. Play/stop at one end of the button and back at the other end.
I didn't buy one today as I don't have convenient sighted help to get it working. Also, the unit is packaged in a way that makes returning it a problem. I know the store would take it back if I didn't like it but I hate messing around with them like that.
