| 61 of 64 people found the following review helpful Great little player- but……, By A Customer This review is from: Creative Labs NOMAD MuVo NX 128 MB Flash Drive MP3 Player (Electronics) WARNING! Please read the last paragraph. I purchased this product about 35 days ago, and it was love at first sight. Sleek, ultra compact, an LCD screen and a built in voice recorder – what more could you ask for? Well, i’ll get to that. The LCD is a great addition to the Muvo and with it comes quite a few surprising features such as a 5 band equalizer and idle timer. The display is clear, and menu is easy to navigate using the rocker, which doubles as a track changer and fast forward. Keeping the volume controls seperate is a good idea, since they’re the things you use the most. Switching on and off is painless, although controlled by the play pause button – holding it down for a time will turn it off or on, and just hitting it once will play or pause. Data transfer is a breeze. You plug the stick into the nearest usb port on your computer and you can transfer songs within a second. At least on XP – i don’t know about other windows versions, but i think it’s the same with 2000. I’m not sure it’s very useful if you have 98se2. Data transfer is slow though. Even slower than the previous model infact, but not inhibiting – it transfers and average song in 5-10 seconds, no particularly good, but I don’t think many people will see it as a problem. Battery life is average. One duracell ultra M3 lasted for about 2 days, with quite heavy usage. The voice recorder is great, with an average range, and 8hrs of recording when the memory is empty. Perfect for Journalism – it’s that good. The music sounds crystal clear, with several preset EQ levels or your own custom 5 band. Memory. Not so good – 128mb is really not much to play around with, especially when you prefer quality over size, and the realistic number of songs you are going to fit on it is 35 – which according to me is alright for a day, but no longer – 2CD’s? So, overall good, but serioiusly lacking in memory and USB 2.0 compatability which is why it didn’t get 5 stars. However….WARNING!!!! It lasted 35 days. I dropped it once in the first week, but treated it pretty well after that, and on the 35th day – nothing. Would’nt turn on at all. Battery changed several times. Nothing. It wouldn’t even work when plugged into the USB. Notice it broke 5 days after the warranty ran out. Great. So, it’s cool, but beware – yours may have a fault too…(I also heard of the same problem with the orginal Muvo…) 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful WAY better than the competition!, By This review is from: Creative Labs NOMAD MuVo NX 128 MB Flash Drive MP3 Player (Electronics) I first purchased the RIO sports mp3 player (the red one). Anyway, it was a piece of junk. I took it back and got this one! This thing is the best! the detachable portion that holds the battery is replaceable, which means if you drop it, most likely it will fall on the detachable battery until and leave your player in tact. I just can’t say enough about this player,, in the 50 hours of use I have used it, I have not had one problem! It has suffered swet, drops and general abuse and has held up wonderfully! 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful Great player but drains batteries, By A Customer This review is from: Creative Labs NOMAD MuVo NX 128 MB Flash Drive MP3 Player (Electronics) This is a really good MP3 player & USB storage device. I bought the previous version and this one with the LCD display is so much more useful. |
