 Pretty cool June 7, 2007

Seeing as my iPod nano is full already, filled with podcasts and all, I decided to get an iPod Shuffle so I can have that to hold my music. When I went to the store, it I saw the Creative Muvo V100 listed at $49.99, compared to the iPod Shuffle at $78.99. They both are 1GB but this Creative holds up to 500 songs while the Shuffle holds only 240 songs. Seeing the value, I decided to why not try an MP3 player (this is my first). Hoping that it wouldn't disappoint me, I bought it. After I went home, I immediately uploaded songs onto the MP3 player. The quality of the music is the same as the ones from my iPod nano, but on the plus side, it holds the same amount of songs as the 2GB nano, but the nano is one hundred dollars more. I don't see why that is. This is actually a pretty good machine. I really recommend to you guys. Here's some points why you should get this MP3.
Uppers:
-Holds up to 500 songs
-Cheap price
-Pretty good quality
-Easy-to-use
-Doesn't require songs downloaded onto the computer in order to have it on the MP3
-Doesn't really require to download a new software (optional)
-Compact
Downers:
-Not as pretty as iPod
-Songs not organized like iPod (i.e. cannot find artist easily, need to forward)
I guess that's it, this MP3 is a pretty good deal.
 Buy a Sandisk Sansa M240 instead August 10, 2007

File transfer rate is at least FIVE TIMES SLOWER than equivalently-priced Sansa M240. MuVo v100 is Full-speed (actually USB 1.1) not Hi-speed (true USB 2.0). At Creative's site there are three pages of customer complaints about the MuVo v100 slow file transfer rate. No fix is currently available, though Creative customer service sends customers on a firmware-download wild goose chase and neglects to mention that the snail-like transfer rate is a well-documented problem. Also, the player's wheel, which needs to be turned and pushed, is an annoying gimmick. Finally, sound for playing audio books is indifferent. Stick to Sansa, the only problem with which, if you lose your place in an audio book, is a slow fast forward.
 Performance is good but lacks accesories February 4, 2007

I purchased the Creative nano 1GB at Christmas and was impressed with performance and accesories that were included for the price. I then purchased the muvo v100 which is almost identical to the nano but a little larger and has a direct USB plug-in. For essentially the same price, I did not get any accesories(a armband,skin, or belt clip) I had to purchase an armband from Creative for about what the player cost, because was not availiable anywhere else. Creative also charged my card wrong for the armband. So use caution when dealing with this
Best Little MP3 Player October 25, 2007

I always thought that I would buy one of the Apple iPods, but after spending some (poor) quality time with the horrible iTunes software, I was soon cured of that fantasy. The moral of the story is, "If you don't like iTunes, don't waste your money on an iPod".
I really just wanted an player to "drag and drop" my MP3 album folders to and the Creative Muvo V100 was just what I had been waiting for!
Just copy your album folders to the player. You can do it from any Windows PC, without having to install any special software. The player's scroll wheel will allow you to display each album. Go into the album to play the whole thing or select just the song that you want to hear.
Audio quality is great (just get some good "in ear" headphones). Controlling the player with the little wiggle wheel takes some getting used to. Battery life is good (turn off the backlight and it will play twice as long). One caution - if you let the battery run completely out, the player's firmware can become corrupted (it happens to me about 1 out of every 10 times when I let the battery go completely dead). Don't worry - you can fix your "brick" by going to the Creative web site and downloading the "MP3 Recovery Tool".
Now that the price has dropped to $19.99 I'm buying two more!
>>> 5 Month Update (03/27/2007) <<<
This little player is still going strong. I have dropped it and sat on it several times - it still works! The latest firmware release seems to have finally fixed the "brick" problem. The little battery door is loose, so I secure it with a small piece of electrical tape. Too bad the price went back up!
