This review is from: Creative Labs Muvo NX 256 MB MP3 Player (Electronics)
This is quite an astounding little gadget. It weighs just over an ounce, but it carries a quarter-gigabyte of music-- about four hours, at standard MP3 compression. Since the MuVo NX uses flash memory, it has no moving parts, which makes it great for use while running or working out-- it has already replaced my CD-based MP3 player, which was larger, heavier, and inclined to skipping.The interface is easy to use and very intuitive, using a simple rocker switch to page through songs or options. The device also includes several thoughtful touches, such as a vertical-flip option for lefties, a wide variety of playback options, and a customizable graphic equalizer. Sound quality is excellent, the volume is ample, and the package includes a nice pair of earbud speakers.
The only drawback with this MP3 player is the USB interface, which is the old USB 1.1 standard instead of the faster USB 2.0. This isn't a serious issue, however, as USB 2.0 is only supported by recent...Read more

Very Compact, Lightweight, Easy to Use...,

This review is from: Creative Labs Muvo NX 256 MB MP3 Player (Electronics)
After comparing several MP3 players in it's class I decided to go with the MUVO NX because it's perfect for working out in the gym and lightweight for running. I considered going with an I-Pod for the larger storage capabilities at first, however when
I found out that the included rechargeable battery will stop holding it's charge after a about 2 years of use it wasn't worth the money for me. The 256MB memory included in the NUVO MX stores a good amount of music so you won't run out of songs in the middle of a workout or on a 4-5 hour plane flight. The Pro's:
- Lightweight, compact design.
- Plug and play USB connection.
- Easily drag and drop files directly onto the player.
- Good amount of storage for music.
- Decent battery life. (I suggest investing in some rechargable AAA batteries)The Con's:
- I only have one negative comment about this product. After opening the package the earphones included were defective. One side was about 3 times a...Read more

Perfect Workout Companion!,
December 22, 2003 Lara (Princeton, NJ, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creative Labs Muvo NX 256 MB MP3 Player (Electronics)
Pros: Tiny player with great sound, features like shuffling and EQ, lightweight, easy to set up and copy music or files
Cons: Buttons may be too small for bigger fingers, one AAA battery life only about 5-6 hours, included ear buds are dinkyI already own a CD MP3 player, which is fine for most applications except when I'm at the gym. It's too big and it skips whenever you move. So I really wanted one of the new tiny players. My wonderful boyfriend got me this player for a birthday present. It is super simple to set up; just install the Creative software, plug the player into an empty USB port, and you'll be copying files in no time! I can either drag and drop from my folders, or create a playlist in Windows Media Player and copy it automatically. It also holds any kind of file. I've used it to copy photos from my laptop to my home PC. The sound is terrific. I like to turn up the volume fairly high, so that probably eats into the battery life. I was pleased to find out...Read more
