Re: Creative Zen Stone Player
I'm curious. How do you think this makes it more inconvenient? Are you thinking it's more inconvenient than something which has a rechargeable battery in it but uses an AC adapter to charge it? If so, I'm thinking whether you plug it into a USB port or an AC outlet, it would all be the same. I guess though AC outlets are still more ubiquitous than USB ports. If I go on vacation, like a cruise, I'd still have to bring my laptop just to recharge my Creative Zen Stone. If you're comparing it to something which takes batteries then I guess it would be more inconvenient, when the battery runs down, you have to tether yourself to an electrical outlet or a USB port while it's charging, but if it took batteries, you could just pop a fresh battery in and go. I guess for the price, you could always buy two! OK never mind, you're right, I can see where it would be a bit nor inconvenient! I'm still asking for one for Father's Day though! I have the Creative MuVo with 128M of memory, and having something that's supposed to be just as easy to use, but with 1GB of memory is just too appealing. Plus I see it's size and the fact that it has rechargeable batteries as providing it's own conveniences. I don't have to worry about spare batteries or carrying two separate cords.

Re: Creative Zen Stone Player
If the Zen Stone can only be recharged via the USB port.. .this shouldn't pose too much of a problem as you can get A C adapters that allow you plug a USB connection in, so you can charge it that way. Just like the way I pods are charged. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/06/07 03:29 Bruce, you wrote: Am I to understand that the Zen Stone can only be recharged by way of the USB port?

Are the T50 and T60 from iRiver accessible? [was Re: Creative Zen Stone Player]
Has a blind person used or had any experience with the iRiver T50 or the iRiver T60? If so, how accessible did you find them? From the review posted at http://www.pocketables.net/2007/05/review_iriver_t.html, I read the following, which makes me wonder how accessible these players are. The reference to a joy stick and a GUI, even though they say it's straightforward, give me pause. It does appear that you can just use Windows Explorer to transfer music, but you may have to use the PC software to switch between MTP and UMS mode. That doesn't seem like a big deal, but I wonder if the PC software is accessible with a screen reader or not. Controls Navigation on both players is primarily handled by a small joystick on the right side of the display The joystick is unrestricted in its movement and easy to use, but it's a bit wobbly. This makes selecting various options tricky because pressing the center of the joystick straight down requires actual precision. You can't just push the center and expect the system to recognize it as an OK or Enter command. More often than not, tapping the center of the joystick pushes it slightly to the left, which rewinds a track or takes you to the previous menu option. Navigation would be more accurate if the joystick's movements were limited to just four directions (up, down, left, right). Graphical user interface The T50 and T60 are equipped with yet another GUI not found on any other recent iriver DAP (it's the same one used on the older T10). All that nonsense aside, the T50 and T60's GUI is self-explanatory and easy to use. The main menu is colorful and cute, but the rest of the system isn't really anything to look at. It's all very file-tree and Windows Explorer: plain but functional. Transferring content The T50 and T60 can be formatted to support MTP or UMS/MSC for transferring media with or without the use of software. Drag-and-drop via Windows Explorer can be done in either mode, but other differences exist to make choosing between one or the other pretty crucial. Switching between the two modes requires the use of the supplied Cross Updater software and also deletes all of the content, so it's easier to just choose one and stick to it forever. Keep in mind that you need MSC/UMS to: • Use iriver plus 3 • Supposedly playback podcasts (not sure why iriver says this, as most podcasts are in MP3 format) And you need MTP to: • Use Windows Media Player 11 and other music management software • Playback Audible content Michael Lang wrote: Bruce, you wrote: Am I to understand that the Zen Stone can only be recharged by way of the USB port?

Re: Creative Zen Stone Player
No justification is necessary on that point. The BP is one of the best purchases I've ever made, and I am now just glad I didn't purchase the Zen stone ... not because there's anything wrong with it, but because I'm better served by my Book Port and I'll take the larger size for what I'm offered.

Re: Creative Zen Stone Player
Hi Bruce. I see the BP and Zen Stone as serving completely different purposes rather than two products competing in the same market so it's more likely that you'd want both rather than one or the other. I don't have a BP and haven't seenit's specs but I'd be very surprised if it had a great spec for playing music when you consider it's main purpose in life is to play the spoken word. The zen stone on the other hand is primarily a music player designed and built to provide the best playback quality possible in the tiniest size to compete with apple's products. It has a frequency range of 20 hz to 20 Khz whereas typically, players like the olympus ds50, milestone and I'd imagine the BP will only cover 50 hz to 19 Khz. The zen stone battery life is approx 10 hours on a full charge and it would of course be ridiculous to assume you'd need to take a laptop with you to recharge. These types of players always come with an adaptor to charge from mains and these can be hhad very cheaply. Regards.

As an alternative, aren't there battery charging units that plug into a USB port? Power comes from loading batteries into the charging unit. That way one could use rechargeable NiMH type batteries to easily fuel the portable charger. Am I assuming correctly about this?
