It's a very simple and straightforward MP3 player. On one edge it has a USB port. You just hook it up to your PC, and it acts like another drive, to which you can copy and paste files. On the other long edge it has an earphone jack, and a three-position switch. One position plays songs randomly, one plays them in alphabetical order, and the third skips an entire folder if the Zen Stone starts playing a folder you don't want to hear right now. On the front, you have a center dot that you can press to pause the music, and press longer to turn off the Zen Stone altogether. Around it is the usual circle, with leftarrow being volume down, right arrow being volume up, uparrow being previous song, and downarrow being next song. I hope that helps some. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 07, 2007 9:40 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: A Zen Stone Thank You Hi, I tried to look for the Zen Stone on line.

I listened to music on the plane out of Denver, and again on my way back yesterday, and the Zen Stone is a very nice little device. Of course, I filled it up almost instantly, but still ... I love it! I listen to music and read computer books, and it's perfect for me. Thanks again.
