Summary: Serves a niche...
Review: I use mp3 exclusively for audio books and text to speech stuff. Therefore the lack of a "resume" or infinite pause for that matter, make this unit inconvenient at times. Also, they need to get the hint: NOBODY LIKES YOUR EARBUD DESIGN. I don't want to swap earwax with someone and share a set of assymetrical earbuds, so JUST STOP. The first thing I did when I unpacked the unit was to plug in my RCA earbuds in its place. MUCH better. Next was to put a keychain clip on the unit. (I took the twisting one from a cheap keychain laser and it works great.)The big improvement of this player over my old one is the fact I don't have to burn a CD to listen to a quick web download, VERY NICE. Also, it is small enought that you can wear it for hours and forget you have it on. The lack of an LCD screen is not really a problem, becauseI figured it was new and they would add them to later models. The unit also seems pretty rugged. In order to recover the use of the unit, you may have to run SCANDISK and defrag every once in awhile. Slightly annoying, but at least you don't have to use the crummy software that comes with it. Just treat it like a portable USB device and drag and drop your files, or the VERY useful "send to E:" via right mouse click command. All in all, I like this product, but hopefully the newer models will address this one's shortcomings. (Did I mention that NO ONE LIKES THE EARBUDS???.) Thanks.

Summary: Broke after 93 days
Review: Yes, I loved this design, and was very happy with it - for all 90 days it was covered by warranty, and even 3 days after until it stopped working. It would auto shut off for no apparent reason - went to website for MuVo, downloaded new drivers; mailed it back and paid to get it fixed - and it worked for another 2 weeks, then crapped out again. Not buying this brand ever again.

Summary: How to get it working again!
Review: True, this little guy freezes from time to time when you forget to dismount it properly (NOT creatives fault!). It's pretty easy to reformat if you people who say it's 'broken' used LINUX and not windows! Simple as that guys - no need to bother with with wasting your money on repair costs. Unbelievable.

Summary: Just what you need, but not much more than that.
Review: It doesnt have a display, which was my only concern. Once I got it though, I found that I could careless. Im to busy listening to music and forwarding and rewinding tracks are just a button push away.
Synch went great with windows media player 10 (xpsp2 also installed).
No problems what so ever, I went from taking it out of the package to walking out my door listening to music within about 20-30 minutes. MOst that time was spent realizing I had to "synch" not burn onto the Nomad.(im a goof).
I used it all night and worked great. Only draw back that the earbuds wont stay in my ears.
Could be just me but I ordered some new headphones anyway so not a problem for me.
Bottome line, if what you want is a dependable MP3 player to strap on and listen to music, this player does just that without breaking your bank account.

Summary: Small and Dependabe
Review: I use this to listen to audible books exclusively. It is very dependable with easy controls and not a lot to go wrong. I had an old rio that was very fussy. I am much pleased with the battery life and simplicity of this player.

Summary: Poor battery life
Review: 2.5 stars really. Not a bad player but there are better ones out there. The 128Mb gives a reasonable no. of songs but recording at low res makes for disappointing playback. Using alkaline batteries this unit has no where near the 12 hours it claims. It is a handy USB drive however and that part of it has helped me out in many urgent work situations.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: I love my MuVo, I've had it for over a year. I got it from a friend who said it was suffering from the same problems as most reviews here list. Creative Support was no help, so I installed everything from Creative's site, used their music organization software to reformat the player, and it's worked fine ever since. I've been moving files on and off on a daily basis, used it with 5 different computers with not one problem since. This thing gets beat around in my pocket with my keys, I've dropped it, washed it, pulled it out of the computer without stopping it properly, got it dirty, almost every way I could possibly break it, and no problems yet. However, judging from the reviews here the quality of these players is very inconsistant, either they'll break after a couple months or keep going forever... Also, Creative desperatly needs to work on its Customer Service. I haven't found any problems with the playlist restarting when I turn it off or unplug it from the battery. It does restart when you format the player, but I would think that's expected. Sometimes when you skip through tracks, the player will cut off the first half-second or so, but it's not a huge problem. I also think the A-B repeat function is pretty useless, a random play button would be a much better idea. I'm impressed with the durability of this little player, but it seems I am in the minority. As to the storage, 128megs is about 4 1/2 hours at WMA 64k, which is what Creative's software converts MP3s to with its "SmartFit" program. The battery life isn't exceptional, the battery lasts about 2 hours at most with standard Duracells. Using higher capacity batteries may get you better results. Overall, a good player if you can get one that works well, so I'd reccomend getting a little more reliable player.

Summary: Don't Sweat It!!!!
Review: I like the portability and relatively cheap cost. However, I have gone through 3 Nomads MuVo's. The failure is that as soon as these things get damp with a little sweat or rain they don't work period. I tried using suran wrap so that I could hold onto it while running, but that did little good. Not for use by athlete/runners.
