Creative Muvo Only As Good As Its Low Price! 
2008-01-20
For its price The Creative Muvo is a feature-rich, 2GB MP3 player: nice sound, built-in mic, a variety of settings controls, bass boost, etc. But that's about where it ends! These compact units are skitish and tend to have "memory-drop" problems. The flimsy plastic cover for the battery compartment (specifically the "tab" that holds the cover in place) is...well...a flimsy bit of poor engineering. (I broke one off once and Creative was "good enough" to sell me a replacement battery cover for $11, about 1/5th the retail cost of the entire unit!) Recently, the outdoor temp. went down to 26 deg. F. and I had left my Muvo in my car overnight -- big mistake! The next day the unit was stuck in the ON-only mode, totally unplayable, and I had to remove the battery completely to power the unit off. Like most all MP3 players the unit does not hold hundreds of tunes: even at 2GB you'll be lucky to load 375 songs before you run out of space. In fairness, however, all MP3-player makers -- including even the venerable iPOD -- make the same inflated claim, omitting the facts that today's music is often quite lenghty, and there's no accounting for the bitrate of one's downloads. Hence the Muvo -- like any other MP3 player -- stores what it can store and that's it! Don't expect more than that. But I suppose my biggest gripe goes back to its total lack of reliability and durability. These brittle players are virtually made of "crystaline glass" and you'd be well advised as to how you treat the unit, and under what conditions, if you venture down the Muvo path. The Muvo is by no means a "ruggedized" device. Its sound is great, and it has some great built-in features and nice technology. But if it freezes over night...if its flimsy plastic battery cover break...or something else, then of what use are all those neat built-in bells and whistles?! As I entitled this review: the Muvo is only as good as its low price, which takes one back to that time-honored adage: you get what you pay for, nothing more!
