Summary: Generally Very Good, But...
Review: This is my fifth MP3 player. My others are a Nomad, a couple of car MP3 players, and a portable CD MP3 player. I bought the Muvo2 because the plastic around the Nomad eventually stressed and broke apart. I was shocked at how much better the sound quality of the Muvo2 is over the Nomad. From my experience with the Nomad and the other players, I had thought that MP3 inherently sounded terrible, but now I know better. In addition, the battery life is really quite impressive as well. That's the good news. The bad: can you tell how small the buttons are? Isn't this player meant for use while exercising? In particular, the main button there is really a toggle with four positions. It's impossible to manipulate with gloves on, such as cold weather jogging gloves or full-fingered gloves that you might use for lifting weights. It might be troublesome even without gloves for those with big fingers. The other problem with it is that the display is tiny, so you really can't read the display when it is strapped to your arm without looking like you're tying to sniff your armpit. Nonethelss, I like it overall, and I would buy it again.

Summary: Good step towards a great product....
Review: This was my first MP3 player purchase. I have waited until there was a flash-memory-based product with sufficient capacity to be worth my effort. While the Creative MUVO2 X-Trainer has several attractive features (intuitive/no-hassel interface as add-on hard drive via USB2.0 or USB1.1 connection, mega-battery life - over 24 hours continuous play,noise-free operation - no moving parts, skip free playback - no moving parts, and armband/waistclip, seemless integration with Creative PlayCenter software), it falls short on some critical features:

* Unable to play ".WAV" files without errors
* Playback buttons not very user-friendly - especially compared to other products on the market.
* No FM radio
* No record function/input (microphone)
* Memory only 512 MB & can't upgrade with flash memory cards. Creative either needs to increase memory to 2 gigs (NOT HD), enhance usability/design and increase features.

By the time they re-launch their products, we will be demanding miniature MPEG4/JPEG/MP3/FM... with easy-to-use wireless interfaces on flash memory and infinite battery life for under $300. Viva la consumer :P

Summary: Comparison to iPod is asinine
Review: Why waste your money on this product when you can pay $30 more and get a 10GB iPod? It holds 20 times the amount of music!!! The price of the MuVo is RIDICULOUSLY high!!
