So when you plug it in, you get that initial dialog that Windows throws up asking you what to do. If you cancel out of that dialog box, you still can't access the Zen Stone with Windows Explorer? I hate to ask, but are you sure you're bringing up the right device in My Computer? If all else fai

Have you copied any music to the Zen Stone yet? If not, what music is it playing, the samples that come with the player maybe? I'm a bit confused as to what you're doing. Are you saying that when you plug the Zen Stone in, you get a dialog that gives you several options, including "play music"?

Well, a quick search with Yahoo! says that the Zen Stone doesn't support lossless formats. It does look like Windows Media Player, and maybe Creative Media Lite, automatically converts lossless formats into a lossy file format when copying the files to the Zen Stone. Jerry Richer wrote: >

You can fast forward and rewind in a file with the Zenstone. While useful the feature doesn't seem to be completely reliable for a blind person. Often when activating either of these features I manage only to skip forward and back one file. The same sort of thing happens when turning it on

hi. If you have a little bit of usable vision, as I do, the scripts aren't even necessary, because an orange light flashes while the zen stone is charging, and a green light stays on after it's charged. I fully realize that a good portion of the people out there who are on this list probably h
