Hi I think we might be getting our terms confused here. The 1 GB model *does* have a fast forward/rewind feature. You know that same little area on the right side of the circle that you press to move to the next track? Well, simply press and hold down on that button and the zen stone will fast forward through the current track. If its not doing it, keep trying. Same goes for the left side. Holding down on the button to move back through the songs that you've played already will rewind through the currently playing track. Being connected to the computer does not even figure into this at all, the only time the zen stone, at least for me, is plugged in to the USB port is to charge it up.
