5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Audible Books!, March 4, 2007

After my old Creative Muvo finally died (it lasted 4 years), I went to the (....) site looking for replacement options.

The (....)lists more than 100 players, but doesn't really give you a good idea of how compatible they are, or what benefits one has over another. A look at amazon does offer a filter for 'audible' format players, and so I found some inexpensive options this way.

The first player I tried was the Sansa M230, however, hookup with audible was impossible, and it also was missing two major requirements for use with audible books: the ability to skip sections, and also progressive fast forward. Spending 5 minutes pressing fast forward to get 20 minutes further in a 5 hour book is not my idea of fun.

The player also had a defective backlight, so I returned it to Amazon, and started looking for other options.

After much searching online, I couldn't find any specific information about other players that offered progressive fast forward. Even an email to Creative elicited a response that progressive fast forward was NOT available in any of their players.

I couldn't find anything else that really fit my needs, so I went ahead and purchased the MuVo TX FM.

It was an effortless process to get it connected to (....), and download books. To my amazement, this player DOES have progressive fast forward!

I am very happy with this player. There are better options for music, but if you listen to audible books, this is the least expensive good player I've found.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply, The Best, March 22, 2007

This review is from: 1GB Muvo Tx MP3 Player Voice Recorder USB Red with Fm Tuner and voice recorder (Electronics)

After scouring the net for my next MP3, I realized that the Creative Muvo TX/FM that I already owned was superior to the rest! My current Muvo is a 256MB, and only holds around 4 CDs worth of music. When I got to looking around for a new MP3 player, I could never find another one that had Muvo's built-in USB plug (which makes transferring files as easy as wiping your nose). Every other MP3 player has a chord that you have to have on you, (and with me, there's the constant possibility that the kids have lost the darned thing). Also, no other MP3 out there comes with a built-in FM tuner, a 5 band equalizer, PLUS voice recording!

I use my FM radio all the time, and occassionally I'll use the voice recorder (when I have something important on my mind that I don't want to forget...). When I looked around a bit and discovered that other MP3s out there didn't have all these added features, I really started to appreciate my little white Muvo. Now, I'm buying the 1GB (Red) Muvo, and for $65.99, what a snag!

Oh, it doesn't have video, you say? I say, if I want to watch a video on a 2 1/2 inch screen that costs me $350, I'll buy one of the fancier MP3s, but for now, my Muvo is for listening to music, the radio, and recording my latest ideas; my laptop is where I watch my movies (...on a 15 inch screen, at that).

Once I started reading some of other people's reviews I discovered how lucky I was to have picked up a Muvo in the first place! (One reviewer said he slammed his Muvo in his car door, left it overnight in freezing weather, and washed it in the washing machine and it still works!) That's what I'm talking about man... no more dippity doo fancy pants overpriced gadgets for me... I'm sticking with the Muvo. When you go to Amazon to look for MP3's and the muvo comes up in the top 5 when you sort by customer reviews, that says something. It's cheap ($65-$70), it's small (about the size of two bic lighters side-by-side), it's easy to use (no USB chords to tangle with), it's advanced (it has a graphic EQ... most other MP3's that I've looked at don't have totally adjustable, custom EQs!, plus it records!)... it's convenient (slips into a pocket, or you can use the little belt attachment, or the snappy armband thingy and wear it under your shirtsleeve). It's not a power hog... (It uses a single AAA battery, which lasts around 10-15 hours. I bought a AAA recharger set, and I never have to worry about my Muvo going dead... I just keep an extra battery in my pocket if I'm about to run out of juice). It's a flash drive! (use it to store Word documents, pictures, even program files... whatever you want, then transfer it to another computer!)

My new 1GB Muvo should be arriving within the next few days and I'm excited about the extra storage space. Like I said, my current one holds around 4 CDs worth of music... the 1 GB should give me 16 (how much more do you need, right?) The Creative Muvo, in my opinion, shows how much of a rip-off other MP3 players are. Why pay over $200 bucks for flash, when you can get a workhorse for around 70 bucks?

I started with the MUVO when I first joined Audible, then I graduated to the MUVO TXFM 1GB. I couldn't be more happier. With my initial MUVO I could load up to 7 unabridged books into it. Now with the 1GB, I could load up to 15 unabridged book with several more to spare. I take this little MPlayer in my travels and it has never let me down. For the price it is well worth it. I would recommend it anytime. Oh and I am 62 yrs old too!!
