Hi Joe, There's a phone type joystick in the middle of the Zenstone with buttons at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o clock. Depending on how you hold it, there's volume down to the left and volume up to the right with next file down and previous file up. It takes about 3 hours to charge from the uSB and you can buy a mains charger for it if you wish.

Just bought a one gig zenstone mp3 player and have the folowing questions? 1 How long does it take to charge a zenstone player at one gig? 2 there appears to be only two switches that |I can feel is this right? A push button on top and a two position slider to the immediate left of the headphone socket. I understand it can be charge only by the usb port on the system! 3 no volume, is that controled via the pc? thank you for any replies. Joe.
