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.

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".

Creative MuVo MP3 Player.......2007-01-12

Use this all the time for downloading and listening to books from the library. Great for work, listening out in the yard, on walks etc. Downloading is easy. Sometimes have difficulty getting it to start at the same place where I last left off, but in the end can get there.

excellent and easy to use.......2006-11-10

Very happy with this product, battery life could improve.

Well worth the money.......2006-11-08

I have owned a Creative Muvo TX FM 512MB for nearly 2 years. Bought it for $140 when it first came on the market and have no regrets since. Despite an increasing number of newer, prettier and gadget loaded players, I'm still happy with my Creative Muvo.

I'm not a technologically advanced person so it's simple layman experience here.

This small Zippo sized MP3 player is very easy to use. Just install the CD software included and you're all set. Open program. Plug player into USB port. Point, click and drag music files. Most of my music are MP3 or WMA format. I have had no problems with the Creative MediaSource software on my XP machine.

Sound quality is excellent. Choose from rock, jazz, classical or pop settings or customize your own EQ. I use it with my AKG K-26P headphones and the bass rocks. For classical music, the sound is clear and clean.

Design is business-like and functional. Extremely durable, thanks to the battery module (or battery case). I dropped it several times and it continued to work. One day, after a particularly bad fall, the battery case door finally broke and I simply ordered a new one for $10 from Creative. Replaced it and the player has worked perfectly since. I seriously doubt that the ultra cool and sleek IPod could have survived my abuse this well.

If I have any complaints, the AAA battery life is pretty average even on light use, lasting 3-4 days. I mainly use the player during work commute. I switched to Sony rechargeable batteries. While it did not lengthen battery life, the switch saved me a lot of money. Voice recorder is terribly muffled but this function is not an essential part of my MP3 player requirements.

If you are looking for a functional, easy to use MP3 player, at its current $60 price tag, the Creative Muvo TX FM 512MB is still one of the better players in the market.

Maddening.......2006-09-07

At first I loved this thing, but if something goes wrong, good luck. Last night I hit the wrong thing and fast forwarded to the end of a program. I could never get back to that program and ended up totally lost and with my information upside down.

Looking at my laughable instruction booklet was no help. There is not even anything to tell me what the various icons mean. I went into the website and couldn't get it to take an email for support, so I called a 1-888 number and was told it was for sales. They then gave me a number for support that wasn't even toll free. I called it and was told there would be an unusually long wait.

Thanks for nothing Ceative.

If you are a technologically skilled person, you may love this thing, but if not -- forget it. You sure won't get any help from the company.

Warranty Sucks.......2006-01-28

I liked the price. Good buy for the money. I called to get replacement because it kept turning off for no reason. Was told that I had to send $24.95 in order to get it repaired or replaced even though it was still covered under warranty. Maybe it's just me but, doesn't sound like much of a warranty. Check the replacement/repair warranty before you buy.

Used and Loved.......2007-03-13

I gave as a gift to my mom. She started her own baking business. She was able to listen to business books that empowered her while baking.

Great Pros, Not So Bad Cons.......2005-04-12

The Creative Muvo TX is one of the easiest mp3 players to use straight out of the package. It doesn't require any drives, if you're using it on a XP system. Just plug it in and drag whatever you want into it. It's a great player if you just want something that's easy to use and doesn't require a big program just to load data in it.

The only cons that I know of is the scrolling function could be easier to use. The backlight also buzzes pretty loud. And I wish there was a function that would allow me to change how much time the song has left, rather than the other way. But these cons aren't that bad considering how easy it is to use this player.

Really great player.......2005-04-08

I was thinking about buying either a mp3-cd player or one of those USB-pen drive type mp3 players, and after checking all the pros and cons of each, I decided to go with the USB-pen drive player and I couldn't be more happy. Not only for buying this small player but also because it's the Creative MuVo player. Its 512MB of music are more than enough for me and its physical size is a huge plus, it's light and it's easier to carry than those huge cd players since it fits in the smallest pockets of your shirt or pants.

MuVo TX rocks!.......2004-11-18

This thing is incredible. So tiny, yet it sounds great, and holds 512 MegaBytes of music. The headphones have a great sound, and fit comfortably.

Getting it working was beyond easy. You simply plug the MuVo into your USB port, and open the new drive and drag/drop your songs into it. Once you are done, you insert the AAA battery (included) into the case, and slide the MuVo into it. Turn it on and you are good to go!

An amazing little player for the price!

Creative MuVo TX FM MP3 Player.......2005-09-15

The player is good. It isn't the smallest player out there but it is small enough to easily fit in almost anywhere. I like the fact that the drive is removable and can be used just like a normal USB (jump) drive. This means I can move music or other files to and from other computers, without worrying about having the software to do so.

Not worth it!.......2005-06-25

I had not used this player much and it stopped working within one month! These players are very cheaply manufactured in China, and when ever I touched the player.. I heard this annoying cracking noise. It is excellent in features, but it won't last long.

Poor quality, broke after 1 hour use.......2005-05-01

I've read many great reviews about this mp3 player on this site and other sites, so I decided to get one myself.

When I got the player I immediately regretted. The player was bulkier than I expected and the contruction feels cheap, when I remove the battery and the USB storage unit I can see chasis of the player is poorly made.

The features are ok and although the controls weren't perfectly intuitive it shouldn't take long to get familiar with them.

After using it for 1 hour I accidentally gave it a slight bump, it looked ok at first then when I pressed the controls the unit died and never came back up, so I had to return the unit for a refund.

bottomline:
if you're tight on your budget but you want a flash mp3 player with many features, otherwise pay a little more for something with better quality

Great workout MP3 player!.......2005-04-12

My wife got one of these. It's extremely small, durable and has a nice selection of functions (MP3 playback, FM radio tuner with 20 presets and voice recording). It simply plugs into the USB port of your computer for MP3 downloading, so it's simple to replace music. The sound quality is excellent. It holds about 100 MP3 songs at 192 KbPS. Good for workouts or for travel.

Great player.......2005-02-18

I love this little player; great for running on the treadmill or on long flights or trips. Only downside I see is that the earbuds are much too big for my ears. I've had other people try them on as well and most agree that they fit, but painfully.
Otherwise a great alternative to the hard-drive based iPods and other juke-box types.
