The Creative Zen Stone Plus is the higher capacity version of the original Zen Stone that competes with the Apple iPod Shuffle and offers more features than the simpler models. Unlike the other small capacity, flash-based mp3 players, the Stone Plus has a single color OLED display that shows the song, elapsed time and current date and time. The Stone Plus also has a built-in microphone for voice recording, FM radio and stopwatch. The player can be charged through a USB connection to your computer or an AC wall adapter, purchased separately.
