Summary: Great Idea. . .
Review: too bad it doesn't work. I love the look & size of this MP3 player -- no more Fischer Price look of my Intel (which ALWAYS worked -- for like 2 years). Unfortunately, I was never able to get the necessary software to install properly, the help I received from Creative was so long & complicated ("uninstall all firewall & anti-virus software" -- yeah, right -- "do 100 hundred things & then remember to reinstall everything we had you uninstall"). I just gave up.I don't care how much they drop the price -- don't buy it. Hopefully, they'll keep working on it & create a tiny player that works. One more con: even if you can get it to work -- it has no ability to remember where it was shut off. So, your book, you playlist, etc. restarts everytime you turn it on.

Summary: the mp3 does not work after two months
Review: I bought this for friend. Only after 2 months, the MP3 player does not work. Now it can only be used as flash memory.

Summary: Weak useless player
Review: This was so~o not worth the money. Before I puchased my player, I read every single review that was written. Majority of them said that dropping it will cause damages so I was EXTREMLY careful about not dropping and I never did. But right after the damn warrenty runs out, it stopped working all together and I tried reformatting 100x. Not to mention within the time that I did use it, it would turn on at the slightest touch and at other times, i would have to crunch the buttons to play. The bottom line. DONT BUY THIS. ITS TOO WEAK ESP. IF YOU PLAN TO ADD/REMOVE MUSIC EVERYDAY. IT CANT HANDLE IT. Now, I simply use it to transport music files from my pc to mac. I just wished I didnt pay $... (i bought the 128mb) for a disk I could have bought for much cheaper. Also, its just too plain and has no options. Plus: small size
Negs: battery life, no belt clip, not many options, WAY TOO SENSITIVE

Summary: It quits working really soon for no reason!
Review: I read a few reviews like this before, but then also read some positive ones, so though I'd go ahead and buy it. I got in February and it stopped working in May for no reason - never dropped it or anything. Wrote to Creative Labs, but got no reply from them at all whatsoever. You'd think if the product is so simple, it'd be hard to break, yet it only worked for three months! Do not get this - you could waste your money like me!

Summary: MUVo MP3 noplayer
Review: This has been a big disappointment after all the good reviews I read before buying last year. It skips, blips off if touched while walking or jogging. I had the replacement cotract so took it back and got another one and does the same thing. I may have had only 2 workouts over the last year that it made it through without one of the above problems. If there was a 0 star, that's what I would give it. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Simple to use, but limited functionality and too expensive.
Review: It is really a cosumer product, but too expensive for only 128 MB.

Summary: Okay
Review: This, is an okay, basic MP3 Player. I found that this product has amazing sound quality, and easy accesibility. On the other hand, this unit can only store about 15-20 songs. I think that this is an okay buy, but if you have the money, go for something bigger. I had to pick and choose which songs I want on it. It has a fast transfer rate, but if you have a big audio collection, this is not the Mp3 Player for you.

Summary: don't buy this MP3 player unless your stupid
Review: I bought this MP3 player thinking that it would be convenient and also double as a hard disk to move files from home to work and vise versa. Since I have had the machine I have had to completely reformat it over a half dozen times (within 2 months). Currently it is not working at all. This machine has been extremely unreliable. Often I would go on a trip and it would simple not work- one then needs the CD and a computer to reformat the device before it can work again. and , after you reformat it, you have to re-install all the songs you had on there before. When it does work every time you shut it off and restart it you have to go from the beginning to get back to where you were. I thought small size and lack of features would mean hassle free use. Nothing is further from the truth. I am only upset now because I cannot find the receipt to return this junk. Please, do yourself a favor and get something else.

Summary: get the firmware!
Review: I've had my muvo for 3 months and 21 days. I've not used it too much but I think the battery life is pants, I've listened for a max 4 hours and I'm on to my 3rd longlife battery :( I've had the same experiences of those who had it lock up / not work. I thought it was a bit dodgey to use the play button to turn it off as well as on... I've just been to the nomad website - not the creative one, as this has the firmware update and the new format program. read the instructions, it the most barking setup for upgrading the firmware I've ever seen. anyhow, it's working now and I'll only know if it works after a few days use :) fingers crossed. anyone want to bet on it ? I'm not buying creative EVER again. put off for life written by a thirty something IT network manager with disposable cash that's not going their way

Summary: MuVo Improves My Day Considerably
Review: The Creative MuVo is an ultra-compact digital music player that will allow music enthusiasts to easily transfer MP3s, WMA files, or regular data files from place to place with a USB connector, and can hold up to two hours of music. This device, designed with ease of use in mind, weighs less than an ounce, and is only slightly larger than your average butane lighter. Thankfully, the MuVo will play for up to 12 hours on a single AAA battery. No special drivers or cords are needed to operate it.
The MuVo comes with a set of bud headphones, and a lanyard if you want to carry it around your neck, or under your shirt, but I would recommend to Creative that they also package it with an adjustable velcro strap or clip-on case -- since almost everyone I sell a MuVo to intends to use it while jogging or running.
Since I also see people buying these two at a time (his and hers, sister/sister, roommates, etc.) I'd suggest to Creative that they might want to include some color stickers in the package to keep arguments down and help people more readily distinguish between the two.
The MuVo has a unique two piece design made of molded plastic. The light gray piece featured in the graphic above is essentially the memory stick (where files are stored), with a headphone jack on its right side, and a USB connector on its left (concealed by dark blue plastic on bottom left of graphic). The silver track and power controls are on the front of this gray piece, and the silver volume and loop buttons are on the bottom of this gray piece. The power button has a bright phosphorus green LED that can even be seen through a white tee shirt, if you were to wear the MuVo under your shirt as I sometimes do.
The larger blue piece, of the two-piece MuVo, is simply a receptacle for the gray piece -- and also holds the battery compartment. You can snap the two pieces together by pushing the gray memory stick into the socket of the blue grooved handpiece along a sliding track.
MuVo has a silver eyelet mount on its upper right corner -- ostensibly for people that may want to carry it on a keychain or hang it from a lanyard. After some short length of time I found it too easy to scratch, so I no longer carry it on my keychain as I did for awhile.
Be careful when removing the memory stick from its plugged-in state, especially when you are still attached to a computer. Make sure you have properly exited any open programs, as if you were to remove the stick memory abruptly it is possible to damage the flash memory.
Since I have both a PC and a Mac, I am happy to report that the MuVo can be operated off of either platform. On my PC I use my RealOne subscription to rip and convert files from CD to MP3 for use on the MuVo; and on the Mac I use iTunes to rip and convert files from CD to MP3 for use on the MuVo.
On either platform, after ripping and conversion, all you have to do is drag and drop the songfiles onto the device. A music file is a music file is a music file. Songs will usually play anywhere, no matter what your equipment.
Not only is the MuVo good for music, but it's great for carrying photos to another persons printer or computer, carrying a spreadsheet from work to home or vice versa, or toting a print job to a graphics company for output on their large-scale image setter.
Working off of my 9500X PC laptop, I can usually store two CDs of MP3 music on the MuVo. For some unknown reason, when working off my Mac with iTunes, I can only store one CD of MP3 music on it. I think maybe I'll need to read up on file-compression schemes unless somebody else out there has any ideas. I generally don't like the WMA format, but the file sizes are supposed to be more economical for storage and theoretically I should be able to fit more music on the MuVo when I'm using it in conjunction with the other computer in my home, so I think I will have to experiment with it a little more and get back with you later on this specific facet.
You may enjoy the MuVo much more if you have a cable broadband internet connection such as Comcast, a RealOne subscription, or access to either EZ CD Creator (PC), MusicMatch (PC), iTunes (MAC) software, or Limewire Pro (MAC).
I've been able to load pretty much anything I've tried to onto the MuVo, with the exception of a few tracks off of the George Harrison album Brainwashed, that, for whatever reason, just would not copy over correctly. I bought this MuVo a few months back, and although I now consider this MP3 player to be high priced for what it does, I am still basically happy with my purchase.
WHAT'S ON MY MUVO RIGHT NOW?
HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH
New Self-Titled Album, Their Fifth Studio Release
Track 1
Deeper Side
I found a reason to dig deep down
There's a part of you that, that I ain't found
It's in your deeper side
Instead of wondering what I should do
I tried to learn a couple of things about you
From your deeper side...
SOUNDS GREAT! (130/1,228)
Pros: Automatic Shutoff, Ease of Use, Small and Simple Cons: No Way to Program Tracks, Only Plays in Order Songs Were Loaded
