Agreed. I have a creative zen stone here too and it's cheap and easy to use.

The problem I have with these devices is the same old 1 and that comes down to how much money you have. If you can't afford an Ipod Nano (and I accept that perhaps you can't) <smile>, then there are some other great alternatives out there and I mention this just to show that I'm not bias towards Apple Ipods in any way but what I do have a bias against are products which are so expensive in order that they be accessible, in other words products exclusively designed for the blind but that's another topic for another day <smile>. First, take a look at the Creative Zenstone line of players and (even better than that I'm told) take a look at some of the Sandisk players. Now if you want an Ipod that's perfectly accessible then perhaps you can take a look at one of the Shuffles, if you can use a CD player then you can certainly have a good shuffle.
