I bought this before a deployment while in the Army and I loved it. No wires to mess with while downloading music and it can be add to almost any computer as a generic storage or jump drive. Very light weight, very compact, and very easy to use.

I love the MuVo TX. I've read many reviews about it on many different websites, such as amazon, bizrate, and epinions before purchasing it, and I'm glad that I did. The only problem I had pertained to the defective earphones. I have no idea whether or not they were meant to be that way, but the right earphone stretches quite a bit further than the left one. Other that that, the MuVo TX rocks. I jog just about everyday, and it stores me enough music to last a few miles. I highly recommened it.

I got this as a present and it is fantastic, it can even handle my DRM protected online purchased music and the earphones are really THAT great ;)

This is a very compact unit, using only a single AAA battery for power, with a built-in USB connection for downloading music. Unfortunately, that's where the compliments end.

I've found this device to be unreliable and generaly flakey. Some music files cause playback to simply freeze, requiring a "reboot" (unplug the battery) to continue. Often the unit will simply stop playing "for no reason". The tiny amount of power available from the single battery is insufficient to produce any kind of volume, even on very efficient headphones. Operating at higher volume levels (more than 3/4 of the way up) results in the unit shutting down after a few minutes. Even the most efficient external speakers elicit the same result. I would expect that all of the other MuVo TX family members are just as flakey, but this is the only one I've tried. I wouldn't recommend this unit or any of it's siblings to anyone.

I've had a few MP3 players..This is my best selection..Quality is GREAT..
Battery last much longer than many other brands...A Great player for sure..

Stupid me, I bought two of the MUVO TX MP3 players. The first one stopped working after it got wet when I went for a run in a light drizzle. Not many choices or stores to buy other brands here in rural Hawaii - so I had to buy the same model as a replacement. After two months, it too has pretty much stopped working. Pressing the play button sometimes gets a response - but as soon as any other button is touched - it stops and 9 tinmes out of 10 it won't restart. I will never - ever - purchase another product from this manufacturer.

In response to the comment by William Polm "bill197" in regards to turning the player on : Your player is not necessarily broken. You turn it on by HOLDING DOWN the play button for several seconds. You will notice the LCD screen light up, and a progress bar will come up. It will increase quickly in 1/4 increments across the bar until the player is on, and it will immediately begin playing.

You will also need to HOLD DOWN the button to turn the player off.

I bought one and have been sharing it with my roommate for almost a year now, and I have to say that I've run into none of the problems that other people have been mentioning. (I'm not sure how to account for that; perhaps they got lemons?) I rarely have to put in a new battery and the sound quality is fine - not spectacular, but good enough. The buttons and navigation are self explanatory and easy to use; I've never had to read the instructions. It's also very light, compact, and portable.

As a college student, I've found a lot of great uses for the Muvo TX 128: I can hold enough songs on it to keep me distracted while I get from class to class. This MP3 player can also double as a flash drive, so you can store your image files, word documents, anything that fits on it for easy portability. And it goes right into your USB port, so you don't have to deal with any plugs or wires.

This is also VERY useful as a voice recorder. I've taken it with me to lectures and seminars and have found that it can hold over 5 hours of voice recording. You'll want to sit close enough to pick up sound - either the front or middle of the room.

All in all, after a year of use, I've been very satisfied with this product. When it came down to choosing between the Muvo TX 128 and the iPod Shuffle, I chose this product, and it hasn't failed me.

I was looking for something small and easy to use. This is it.
I downloaded some songs off my computer and one site and that was it. The sound is great.
I haven't tried to do anything else yet as it isnt user friendly on the instructions for the other stuff, so someday will check it.
It works for what I wanted it for. Very lightweight. Great for just anywhere

I bought two of these, one for myself and one for my son. Initially they both sounded great. Within two weeks both players kept powering off. The volume controls quit working and every button that is pushed turns it off. A big disappointment
