Summary: Great technology
Review: I purchased this item for my wife. She loves it. It's simple to use, has great sound quality. The price is a bit steep but this model just came out. My wife just can't believe you can get music in this little device with such great sound.

Summary: It is what it is.
Review: I have had the MuVo (music voyage) for a couple of months now.
It works as advertised except for battery life. I usually listen
in WMA format at 160 kpbs. I have switched to MP3 to see if it
matters. Anyway, unlike other small devices, I can put both WMA
and MP3 on the same space. I have about 20 songs, really long
songs!!! I have listed to most of the others and this by far sounds the best. It's easy to drag and drop files. I have used both windows media player and creative labs play center. (I also
own the nomad 20gb 3). Their firmware update now allows an icon for the MuVo. This is really cool. I can use up ALL the space on the MuVo becasue it tells me how much I got left. I get nothing but compliments when people see it. When I let them hear it, they are astounded. Now I must say, I don't download mp3's cause I think the quality [stinks], but rip from my own collection. I highly recomend this product. Battery life is not as advertised but were talking aaa batteries, and not an issue when you compare what else is out there

Review: Nomad MUVO 128 MB worked for 2-days and then it packed-up. It does not work any more with battery pack even with new batteries...

Summary: 2 out of 2 units defective! Very disappointing
Review: The device design is great, practical, very well done.
Music quality, ease of use, all 5 star items.But both the first one and the second one I bought (from internet merchants) stopped playing after few days for no apparent reason: the green light is just off and no sound anymore. It still works as USB hard drive, but it's useless as MP3 device.
It's really a shame: the reliability of this device will kill his potential great success. I am not happy at all !

Summary: Great, until it died
Review: At first I thought this was a terrific little gizmo --so cute, so tiny, so easy to use -- but mine stopped working after 4 hours of play. The memory module still functioned, but the playback bit was dead as a doornail. So back to the store it went. Too bad, I would have liked it to work out.

Summary: Think: Flash Drive that just happens to support MP3/WMA
Review: The MuVo was my second choice player, having returned a Samsung Yepp YP30-SH model to Best Buy the day before. The latter has better styling, features and display, but its atrocious digital rights management gave me a new appreciation for the MuVo. Basically, the MuVo has none of that. It's a flash drive that just happens to play MP3's & WMA files, and in a Spartan fashion at that. On the downside, of course there's no EQ controls or LCD display, volume level is just adequate, and it doesn't skip playback of incompatible files gracefully. The MuVo also occasionally clips the beginning or ending of songs, so consider adding a little padding when compressing your files. On the plus side, its codecs have breadth; it supports a good variety of MP3 and Windows Media bitrates, which is an important thing that's almost never mentioned on the box. If the unit only had a built-in microphone, I'd give it five stars. For reference, here's the test matrix I tried with the unit. Windows Media 9 VBR100 1-Pass Lossless: No (811Kbps)
Windows Media 9 393K VBR: No
Windows Media 9 192K VBR for Portables: No
Windows Media 9 96K 2-pass CBR: Yes
Windows Media 9 64K 2-pass CBR: Yes
Windows Media 8 6K Voice: No
Windows Media 8 20K Mono: Yes
Windows Media 8 32K Stereo: Yes
Windows Media 8 128K: Yes
Windows Media 8 160K: Yes And a few unusual MP3 variations. I tried more than these, and couldn't get the MP3 codec to choke once. Very solid. 24Kbps Mono: OK
32Kbps Mono: OK
40Kbps Mono: OK
56Kbps Mono: OK

Summary: compact and handy
Review: i like this player because it is really easy to use and needs no software. i can load songs easily and quickly. before i got this one, i was using my brother's 32 mb rio. i liked it, but the process to load files was fairly long. i liked the lcd screen on the rio, but i don't miss it. this player is also good because of it's small size. i can put in my purse or in my pocket easily. it does turn off when it plays some songs, mostly wma formats w/ copyright protection, but that doesn't happen often. i love this device. i don't know what i would do without it.

Summary: Works as Advertised... Great Sound... Small Size
Review: I use the MuVo at the gym and in the car. It is very easy to use, both getting music onto it and playing it. The buttons are big for a small player, and give a noticable click when you press them, so you can feel when you have activated a button for that "I've got better things to look at" style. It has a neat repeat function, you can repeat a song or any portion of your play list. It has a single light which flashes red, or glows steady red or green, depending of course on what it is telling you. The normal alkaline battery lasts at least the advertised 11 hours. Complaints: none. It is small and sounds great, and holds about two cds worth of your music. 5 stars.

Summary: great sound! wonderfully versatile! So far, I love it!
Review: I have had my Muvo for 5 weeks and absolutely adore it-- on the other hand I think I must be its perfect target audience. I mainly use it for going over a fairly small selection of choral music while I'm walking to/from work, so I don't need to be able to store too many songs (and do Love having the repeat button!)-- 128MB is usually enough. Also,I was looking for something as small and light as possible, without compromising the sound quality or battery life, and this definitely is it-- for the sake of the small size and great sound I'm willing to do without LCD, etc. And I love the ease of use. I have been using the file transfer features a lot more than I had expected to-- I can transfer large papers/presentations between home (win98), office(linux) and lab computers (XP) with no hassle at all. (The linux mount command is mount /dev/sda1 /your_dir ; cd /your_dir
and
umount /your_dir (I think) to unmount, if you are a linux newbie like me. Then you can just copy/move files around, treating it as just another directory.) The only problem I have had so far is that when there is any static electricity around it seems to affect the player very adversely, sometimes even cutting off the signal entirely-- but this is only a problem when it's dry and I'm wearing fuzzy sweaters.I'm so happy with my muvo! (On the other hand, if you are looking for a feature-packed mp3 playerwith 20GB memory, you will probably be unhappy with this. Get the archos jukebox, which a couple of my friends have and like a lot-- I was tempted, and it's only maybe a hundred bucks more, but it was just too heavy for me, and I don't actually need those fancy features.)

Summary: Such a shame...
Review: I had such high hopes for this machine. I have had my eye on one since they came out, but I've now gone through two of them and both were defective. It sure is small and easy to use when it works, but my first one had a propensity to shut off with no warning, and my second one blasts me with static every once in a while and the red light won't stop blinking when it should be green. I thought maybe my Windows Media files were corrupted, but they play just fine on my computer. I'm returning this thing and getting a different product.
