 IT BROKE. July 27, 2005
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
My Muvo Micro player worked fine for like, a month. Then the problems started. I'd turn it on, and the screen would flash, and then die. I used several batteries to try to fix the problem. Now it doesn't turn on altogether. This is more of a plea for help rather than a bashing. Does anyone know how to fix this?! And suggestions?!
 Love the size July 21, 2005
This is a great MP3 player for the cost. I love how small it is. I highly recomend for those who use them for exercise.
 Nice Little MP3 Player July 19, 2005
This was my first MP3 player and it was intended for my son. I was pleasantly surprised at the compact size. The instructions/software for loading songs was quite confusing however. I ended up using MediaPlayer and not the included software. The battery life is fantastic for just one AAA battery. Well worth the money and a great entry into the world of MP3 players.
I love my Creative MuVo! July 16, 2005
I bought the white 256MB today and transferred 23 songs onto it today! And I love it! I took a bike ride and listened to my MP3 player, I transferred songs from my CD player (which is much easier than from a computer) and it is just so fun.
You might not think so, but This MP3 player is cute, fun, and totally worth your money!
 Tiny size, tiny loudness July 15, 2005

After reading many good reviews on this item, I bought it. There were a series of disappointments.
1 - The instructions - TERRIBLE is a good description. Incomplete, misleading, confusing - both in the written and windows help file on the cd that is inexplicably not installed on your computer.
2 - The method of getting the tunes on the player is not well documented at all. The instructions lead you to using the proprietary juke box program that very poorly mimics Windows Media Player. It turns out you don't need the juke box at all. You can just use Windows Explorer to drag and drop. The almost completely undocumented MuVo Explorer does have the nice feature of compressing and converting files on the fly as they copy to the player. Unfortunately, even on my 2.4 Gigahertz cpu it drags on for a LONG, LONG time. Why?
3 - The arm band is way overkill. It is built for BIG arms and could carry a one pound dumb-bell. There is a neck strap tie point on the MuVo, but it does not come with a neck strap. I made my own and it was perfect.
4 - The controls and screen are too tiny and not intuitive. Switching between FM and Music sometimes takes moving the icon about 5 notches, sometimes not at all. It is inexplicable and unpredictable. You cannot make this important mode switch blindly and have to squint to watch the micro icons scroll by and get the right one. If you click the wrong one you will get unexpected and unwanted results like the entire screen flipping over 180 degrees.
5 - Here is the show stopper for which I will be returning the MuVo after a week's use: the loudness goes to "40" but sounds like "4." The radio, and some ripped cd's are ok at near or full volume, but none of my Grateful Dead cd's were listenable at full volume. Walking on the street a passing car drowned out all the sound, even with an alternate headphone that is very efficient.
