Summary: Bad Quality Product
Review: I will reiterate what so many others have and I hope Creative Labs will read this: I purchased this unit 3 weeks ago at CompUSa. After one week the play button stopped working so I took it back to
CompUsa and they replaced it with another one. Guess What? It stopped working too after only a week of playing it. This thing is a piece of crap. I'm left with a glorified floppy unit and not an MP3 player.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Excellent until it broke
Review: I'd just like to mirror the comments of many other reviewers. I like my MuVo quite a lot, but after three months of use the Volume Down button has stuck semi-permanently making it very difficult to change tracks.

If it were a reliable product it would be excellent.

Summary: poor quality
Review: My MuVo worked great until about four months in. After the 90-day warranty expired, the "play" button stopped working - and I'd only been using it once in awhile. The company wouldn't do anything about it, so now I'm stuck with what's become a $100 floppy disk. Save your money on this one.

Summary: a piece of junk and BAD customer service
Review: I bought 3 of these gizmos and 2 broke, yes BROKE within the first 4 months. The company WILL NOT support the product at all after the 90 day warranty period. They refused to even look at the defective product that they created without charging you 20 bucks on the credit card. After that they said it was defective and I owed them another 55 bucks for a new one.
HELLO. You made this evil gadget. Replace it! Save your money.

Think IPOD

Summary: Good Idea; Poor Design
Review: KISS Design, tiny form factor, and USB thumbdisk functionality - sounds great in theory. The MuVo, however, falls far short in its implementation and Creative has compounded its failure by failing to recall and replace this device and delivering abysmal customer support.

I, and apparently nearly half of the purchasers of this device, experienced frequent failure of the MuVo within a few play hours of use. There are reformatting and the more drastic Recovery utilities to fix the problem. Sometimes they work. Often they do not. After three replacements and near-zero assist from Creative, COMPUSA cut me off, leaving me with my fourth and final MuVo. Creative has offered to repair or replace for an additional $20. In common trade speak, this is called "chiseling."

There are other issues - clipping of the tracks on the front and back end, and the complete inability to sequence tracks, other than by copying them one.... at.... a... time. Quite tedious. All these could be overlooked, if the MuVo just worked.

Which it doesn't.

Run - don't walk - away from this product. Maybe even all Creative products, altogether. Despite its excellent track record with the impressive SoundBlaster line of products, the MuVo may herald a new era of shoddy worksmanship, evasive customer service, and chiseling tactices for Creative.

My idea of recreation does not include 90 minute hold times only to be told to cough up a couple more sawbucks just to get what I paid for in the first place.

Summary: Not Worth it.
Review: I got this as my first mp3 player, and yes, I'll admit that it worked beautifuly for the first two weeks, however, with me changing my playlist daily - it didn't work beautifuly for long.

It was the second week that the volume buttons began sticking, so I couldn't move the volume up and down. I went to the store, thinking it was a default one, and exchanged it for a new one (thank god I didn't have to pay), and the pattern repeated.

I kept using it with stuck volume buttons, but another two weeks later the playback button started to stick and stopped playing at all, in other words, these things have a lifespan of about 2 weeks, it's cheaper in the end to get a more expensive one.

Summary: Piece of Unadulterated Crap
Review: This thing is built like a piece of junk. When it works, it works. But mostly it just sits there next to my computer collecting dust and my frustration. The folks at Creative Labs don't give a damn about you - but they'll welcome your hard-earned cash. Here's a question for the intuitive among you: Why is the warranty a scan 90 days? Hmmm.... Suckers!

Summary: not good

Summary: warning: the amazon.com three-star rating is misleading!
Review: Before you consider buying this product, click "all customer reviews" and then click "one star reviews only" and READ them. of the 126 reviews for this product, 53 are one-star reviews, most of which tell the same story: this product is fabulous for three months, three weeks, or (in many cases) three days, but then it stops working altogether -- and the offers of help from the folks at Creative Labs are mostly ineffectual or mere delusions. My experience: It stopped working after four days. You wouldn't know this from the three-star rating (obviously an average of the high marks that folks give the product when it doesn't break and the low marks given by the rest of us) -- or from the "spotlight reviews" that amazon.com posts...
