Summary: my favorite workout buddy
Review: I've read a lot of people had some technical problems with theirs but all I know is I love mine. I bought it for the gym and it's perfect for that. It's so light and comfortable to wear I almost literally don't notice I'm wearing it, it's like I've got a private dj beaming my music into my head while I exercise. I even like the ear buds. They may not be the world's greatest headphones but they fit my ears really well and provide sound which is perfectly adequate for my needs. I'm not an audiophile and I could care less if the sound is "awesome" as long as I have my music in a lightweight, trouble-free package. add to the nice packaging that downloading is a snap (I'm running windows XP), and you can't beat it. If you're looking for a jukebox type MP3 or need lots of features, perfect sonic clarity etc, look elsewhere, but if simplicity and size are you criteria, this is it.

Summary: Fragile & unreliable!
Review: I bought the Muvo from J&R. Had to return it for replacement because it broke when I touched the fast forward buttons. The Muvo is a very fragile product. The second Muvo had other problems which I am dealing with currently. The rechargeable Ni-Metal Hydyride batteries only last 5 minutes with Muvo after the batteries are fully recharged. I bought a new charger and four new AAA Ni-Metal Hydride batteries and the problems continue. Bottomline: I am very unhappy with Muvo. I tend to think that Creative Labs has not tested its product properly before it brought Muvo to the market. I also read at the CNET site that people had similar problems with Muvo, so my problems do not seem unusual for this product.

Summary: Pretty freaking cool
Review: My MUVO is cool as heck. The reason I like it is that I'm in college and I can slip it into my shirt pocket when I'm at the gym and when I'm walking to class. Being at Clemson which has become very technologically advanced, I use computers for about 2-4 hours a day. This MUVO makes writing CD's and using disks absolete for anything under 128MB. Only downside is kinda short battery life (which doesnt matter if used as flash drive) and no display. Thats why i gave 4 instead of 5. LATA

Summary: Very small. Very nice. Sounds great.
Review: I've now had this thing for about four months, and I just love it. It's very small -- about the size of a disposible lighter -- and sounds great. True, it doesn't have tons of features, but the controls it does have are very easy to use (even with gloves on) and an LED screen and more controls would just make it bigger.

I just started using rechargeable batteries, and contrary to another review here, my Muvo ran for about 8 hours straight on one NiMH recargeable battery (I was testing the new battery to see how long it would last). It uses one AAA, so it's pretty easy to carry a spare.

The earphones that come with it aren't the greatest, but they don't sound too bad. Still, my Sony's do sound better. I've even plugged the thing into my stereo and it sounds pretty damn good. And guess what? You can also use this thing to store and transfer files from computer to computer. No software needed for Windows Me and up, but you will need the included software if you have Windows 98.

For those who have had problems, try cleaning the files off the unit and copying them back, or use the format feature included with the software. It has no way of changing the order of the way songs are played, and doesn't always play them back in the order you load them. Personally, I don't mind the surprises, and while it's easy to jump foward and back to another track the unit will sometimes jump too far, or not far enough.

Everybody I've shown this to has been blown away by its small size and big sound. I know there are better MP3 players out there, but not many can be used to transfer data files, and I can't think of any that are this small. You can look at all the pictures of it you want, but I can assure you that you'll still be surprised when you see it for real.

By the way, make sure you let your friends hear it before you pull it out of your pocket -- that really impresses them.

Summary: Perfect starter and excercise MP3 player
Review: This is my first mp3 player, and it was the perfect starter. I didn't want something too fancy, or too expensive, and I am happy as a clam now. The Muvo is small, compact, easy to use. It does not have a lot of frills, but I wasn't looking for that. It fits in any pocket, or around my neck perfectly. I can run with it, and nev er even think twice about it. The triple A battery is not such a big deal, although it would be nice if it was rechargable. For ...[an undisclosed dollar amount], i don't think you can go wrong.

Summary: Changing My rating
Review: Thanks to one reviewer, I erased my files in Muvo,
re-loaded the files, and it works. I thought it was broken.
And it was too late for me to return this Muvo.

Thanks, whoever you are.

This is the Best,
Pros: Fast files transfer, Light weight,

Con: It drains a battery in 2 hours.
Did anyone's battery last over 5 hours? or 10 hours?

But If I had to do this again, I would have bought
the Panasonic e-wear.
Reason: the battery shoudl last longer.

Summary: BEWARE! So happy when it came out, but died 4 months later!!
Review: I don't normally write reviews, there are plenty of people out there who like to share their opinion every day -- but I am so incensed by Creative's policies that I feel obligated to share...

I bought this brand new when it came out in October 2002 and was so amazed and proud to own such a cool mp3 player. Everything everyone wrote about it is true and did not have any qualms about it at all. It could use a digital screen but that is the trade off of something so small.

But it is now the beginning of February 2003 and it had stopped working!!! It still plugs into my computer and transfers files on and off it, but when you plug it into the battery pack it refuses to get any juice from the battery when I have a freshly opened battery in there.

I've called Creative for a solution, and they decided i needed to have it sent it to be fixed, but their warrenty is only 90 days!!!! I am over by only 2 weeks, which is absolutely curious to me!!! So now I have to fork out another $20 to have them fix it. Granted it's only $20 however, I am very disappointed they put out a product that has such an awful warranty period. But I am doublely upset with Creative now that I read in these reviews that this has happened to other Muvo customers.

So Buyer Beware!!!

Summary: Solid player after having 30 days
Review: I read all the reviews and decided to purchase MuVo 128 for $130 on Amazon over the $200 Nike player. Granted, the player doesn't feel as solid as Nike's, but it was extremely easy to use (had no problems like some users) and much smaller. I jump rope and do weights, and this player didn't miss a beat. The only minor nuances:
-I couldn't use MusicMatch where I organize my mp3s. You need to find it on your hard drive.
-Doesn't have a lock button where the buttons don't function. It never accidentally pushed buttons, but I'd take the battery out before packing it.
-No belt clip included. It's so small I put it in my pocket or tied it through my short waist-string without problems, but some might think it's annoying.
Overall, a very good product that I'll definitely keep.

Summary: coolest, then dashed hopes, now tail spin
Review: It WAS the coolest. Then on the 3rd day it stopped -- no clue. FAQs and self help on Creative's site eventually got me to download Creative's formatter software. I formatted it and it was back! But not for long. 2 days later it stopped again. This time it was worse. WinXP couldn't recognize it as a muvo anymore, only as some generic device. I formatted it again but "Format Failed" and the Muvo red LED when out. That was the end. Nothing I tried worked. It took two weeks to get an RMA from Creative using their self serve customer care web page. Since then I've been reading reviews from others having almost the exact same problems, one guy on this 3rd return which also eventually failed. Stay away from this product until they fix it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Product does not work
Review: I had a little better luck than young888. I went thru 2 MuVos in 4 months. It's based on a good idea, but Creative hasn't worked out all the bugs. Wait until after they've fixed it.
