(5 out of 5)Great alternative to a Zen Stone
I got this as a replacement for my 1G Zen stone after it was stolen. I loved the funtionality of the stone and considered getting another one but was tempted by this player offering 4 times the memory for only £10 extra. With other MP3 players I've had problems organising the tracks how I want them as they tend to sort them by artist and album whether you like it or not. This player however, just like the stone, simply sorts the tracks into folders which you can create and edit yourself without you having to use any annoying software program. My PC recognised the plyer without any instalation required and transfering tracks takes a matter of seconds. I use Windows Media Player to transfer files and simply organise the tracks through My Computer, There's a slide switch that skips between folders then it plays the tracks in numerical and alphabetical order so to arrange the playing order you just change the numbers on the track titles. Despite the huge memory it's only slightly bigger than the stone and looks just as good. I prefer the direct USB connection to having to use a lead and it also has a bass boost which you don't get on the stone. There's not much I can complain about with the Muvo, the battery may be an issue for some if you are away from a USB for an extended period but for me this is outweighed by the convienience of the unit being so small and quick to charge and not having to buy batteries. The headphones however, are the same rubbish ones that come with the stone so a decent replacement is a worthwhile investment if you don't allready have a good set.
(4 out of 5)Great mp3 for the price
Great storage for songs. Easy to use. No display- so you have to know the order you put songs onto the player. Great sound- even with supplied headphones.
(4 out of 5)awesomme for this price
well this is cool product for this price. I have done small research b4 i bought this product and guess what it has the same sound qualities of the new zen stone. its slim and weightless. Forget the dispaly ... i mean, at end of the day, what matters is good quality music and long battery life and this has it all.
besides this is massive 4 GB u r dealing with and that is huge...especially for this price...
the only and the most stupid thing about this product is that the cap is unstable and the if u ever think of hanging around ur neck like a memory flash it wont work cos the hole is situated on the cap... very very stupid design.
(2 out of 5)a mobile player that frankly isn't mobile
I have two creative zen's and bought two more for friends, so I am not hostile to the company as such.
But this is ridiculous.
The USB cap flies off at a moment's notice, and there is no realistic way of attaching it, besides (as I've done) with glue and thread. A minor but significant annoyance.
The more serious problem is that the battery life drains away fast, and there seems no way to prevent it. It is possible to turn the thing 'off', but experimentation has proven that it still burns power in this state. Sad that there is no 'hard' switch for doing such a simple job as disconnecting the power. Sad, that is, until you realise there is a hard switch for switching between shuffle and non-shuffle modes! What kind of hipster mutant is more concerned with shuffling than turning things off and on?
Otherwise, price good for clear sound and more storage than you'll need.
Another serious good point to most Creative USB players is that you can store anything on them. So mine functions as jukebox and briefcase.
(4 out of 5)perfect for me
The player is small and thin and is well made. The key to this player is that it allows you to 'drag and drop' your files for uploading and deleting all your computer files, either music or documents. I use internet explorer to manage my files on the Muvo. Basically it's a USB key with music facilities.
Sound quality wise it's not bad, a bit tinny and I have heard better machines, but its not that bad at all. Battery is not bad, and best of all its cable free for recharging the unit, just plug it into your computer. Supplied headphones are fine too, but I use my own ones.
