Poor Reliability 
2006-12-11
Google the MUVO for memory problems, and you'll find several bulletin boards complaining about dead MUVO players with no acknowledgment of a systemic problem from Creative. I also had an external USB sound card up and die one day from Creative. They are not yet good at making external audio devices.
Don't buy unless you want a cheap MP3 player and you don't care if it dies. Otherwise you will spend half its cost ($25) on a replacement after 3 months, even if it is still under the hardware "warranty".
Nice for the price

Any kid could figure out how to use this, which dosen't say much for us adults. I did manage after some playing around to see how easy it really is. It will do folders so you can drop whole albums straight from your PC or single songs if you like. It will show up as an external drive even without the software which I have not even loaded. While the WMA files I am using save space even at the highest quality they still sound slightly compressed, this tells me the unit will give you all the detail in the music you need. It seems durable as I have droped it and it still works fine. The battery life is slightly less if you play it at high volume, If you run it into a sound board you will need the extra drive, also if your headphones are less efficent. Overall the best feature is it plugs straight into your USB with no cables. This is a good unit I fit seven complete albums on the 512 I think I need a 1g now. Have fun!

Do not buy this.

This came dead out of the box. Firmware upgrades and reformats do not fix it, all you have to do is google Muvo TX and see how many other people are having problems with this piece of garbage. Creative will also refuse to refund your money and instead try to get you with a 40 dollar credit. This product is defective end of story, search for yourself.
Superb value!

I own 4 different generations of the Muvo devices. I started with the Muvo FM 256 for use[...] Loved it in everyway. So much that I bought a Muvo 128 on sale somewhere for my son to use. Then, I bought the Muvo FM 1 Gb to get more room and then bought the 512 when I saw it on sale as a backup. Only 1 drawback I can see, the sound isn't as loud as I would wish it to be, but hey! It's only got 1 itty bitty AAA battery... whadda ya' expect? 15 hrs of playing time is worth the tradeoff and the thing hardly weighs more than a pack of gum.
PS The included earbugs stink. Most of them do. Get a pair of Sony's fontopia (sp?) and you really 'see' the sound the Muvo's can put out.
Excellent sound and features for the size and price 2006-07-26
I own two Creative Muvo TX FMs and I am very pleased by the performance and features.
Pros:
- Excellent sound
- Equalizer with custom setting and presets
- Ability to delete files while playing them
- Comes with software but you can use it with other programs like Musicmatch, or simply use Windows Explorer to drag-and-drop files and folders onto the Muvo like any other drive
- It keeps the folder structure you create
- Fairly fast USB 2 file transfers
- Uses standard AAA battery so no waiting for it to recharge
- Several playback modes; shuffle, repeat, play one folder, play all folders, others
- Amazing number of settings and ease of use for such a small player having only 4 buttons
- Easy to skip songs or adjust volume without looking at it; good for jogging or for driving while playing it through your car stereo
- Good FM radio
Cons:
- Tiny display
- The maximum sound output is fairly low. Okay for the furnished ear buds or the lightweight headphones I use but a bit weak for driving an FM transmitter or the powered speakers I use with it.
- It can't compete with hard drive players that store thousands of songs; but then it's 1/5 the price and not intended to hold a big music library.
I first bought a 256 MB version, then a 512 when the price came down. I don't need a 1 GB version, though the price of them has come way down, since it is so quick and easy to change files. 512 GB lasts long enough for most trips.
Solid, functional, light, good quality 2007-10-18
Great Item. Compact, functional, with radio, light and solid at the same time. Quality/cost ratio higher compared to other mp3 players of the same category. Just one small defect: the AAA battery gets exhausted very fast even if the player is off.
dad loves it 2007-03-31
got this as a present for my dad and he taught himself how to use, how to rip CD's into mp3 format, and how to look cool with it in the gym...
Sounds Excellent, but not well built 2007-03-01
I had gotten this little piece for my dad. He throughly seems to enjoy the quality of sound. Easy to use, easy to add files, just drag n drop. Decent battery life. I noticed that battery cover keeps falling off and he had to tape it into place. I would have loved it if they had incorporated a SD expansion slot.
There are MP3 Players besides ones from Apple 2007-02-03
I was determined to get an MP3 player that would let me give my money to someone other than Apple. I did a lot of research and this little MP3 kept coming up as affordable, realible and easy to use. I'm happy to report that all of those are true! It's lightweight and the little clip makes it a piece of cake to use while running. It connects via USB without any additional wires or special docking stations. Plug, load, go! Don't be a lemming...resist the Apple domination...the Starbucks of the tech world!
Good value, easy to use 2007-01-04
My very non-technical Dad is able to use it by himself, nuff said.
