Great little player

Creative ZEN STONE PLUS Black 2GB MP3 Player
Creative ZEN STONE PLUS Black 2GB MP3 Player

Pros: Great sound, Decent battery life, Charges super fast(after the initial charge), Small, Easy to use. 2 Gigs of storage. Can be used as a mass storage device. Simple drag and drop function. Lots of extras that I don't even use(voice recording, fm radio, stopwatch)

Cons: USB 2.0 is a false claim. It transfers like a SLUG. So if you want to use this to move files as well, this is NOT the player for you. Unless you are very patient. Needed a firmware update to get it to charge fully. Included earphones are horrible.

Overall Review: The transfer rate, and the needed firmware update cost this player a perfect rating. The firmware update was needed, or the player would not take a full charge. Annoying. It was pretty simple to fix, but completely a killjoy. Battery life seems to be about the rated amount. Though I have yet to run it completely dead. I listen to it 8-9 hours a day at work. I love this player. Despite the annoyances from the setup.

Avoid like the plague

Pros: Once you finally get a pair that passes memtest, they run well.

Cons: Quality control is absolutely horrible. I have never been so angry in my entire life at having to keep returning a product, only to get another defective one. So far I am 1 for 4.

Overall Review: The first 2 sticks I bought from newegg, had about 750+ errors in memtest. So I RMA'd them. Two weeks later I got the replacement, tested them today.....500ish errors on the new sticks. Going to have to send them back now too. I ended up buying some locally, figuring I would just add the RMA'd ones and end with 4 gigs. I got another 2 bad sticks of the same stuff locally, took them back, and I finally have two good sticks. So now I have to hope and pray my 3rd try from Newegg will work. I will never buy Corsair RAM again. This was my first, and last.
