williamhook Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I recently bought a MuVo 512Mb MP3 Player and havn't stopped using it since! It has a similer style to the iPod, in that it is white, and it has loads of features. > FM Radio > Radio Recording > Voice Recording (slightly low quality) > Plays MP3, WMA, WMA DRM, and WAV > Uses 1 AAA Battery > Flip the LCD over, so you can use it upside-down > FM Radio has a 'Japan' function, so prob. works there > Firmware is updateable > USB2 Interface I absolutley love it, and would recommened it over an iPod Shuffle, as the MuVo has a shuffle function in it, plus you get an LCD screen!

Bennifer Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Yeah... what actually makes it so great? The way I read this is as a spec list from their website with you saying you love it basically because you own it. Out of interest WHY would you want to flip the LCD over when you could just put it up the right way :| Sounds like that would just make it more vulnerable to damage with moving parts.

So both left and right handed users can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PermaSt0ne Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 it sounds like it's the mp3 player i've been looking for. one question, do you have to play it in shuffle mode? or can you have it play off of a playlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chouzan Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 As far as I am aware, nobody has 585803058[/snapback] There have been some cheap knock-offs of the iPod Shuffle whose manufacturers did not realize it offers playback in sequential order. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate records down a lecture in school, saves it into a WMV lot bitrate format for me in his pc. Pops my n200 in and I can check on the lecture I missed. Not an everyday thing, but at least I can use it when the situation calls for it. Talking about favourite songs, I have my current ones too in my N200, but i dare say mine is really very current. I recorded a song directly from a mate's CD player of his latest gig through line in. Radio helps me keep up to date with my new favourite songs, I simply record a short clippings of it to buy them later if I missed the name or something? I can't remember all the songs name in my player, but at least I can show it to a girl who asked the LCD screen of what I am currently on. Having additional features is not a bad thing, I find them rather useful, I am not sure what you are on about but it sounded like you are saying that these "extras" are not so cool.... You have got to be kidding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an ipod shuffle, but this doens't compare at all do an ipod. You can't compare a 512mb FLASH player to a 20+ GB HARDDRIVE player. Just my two cents.

waihung Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 You are just defending your iPod. Creative's flash mp3 players can go up to 15 hours of continous usage on a single AAA battery. And ur iPod's battery can only be charge using USB or u need to get an optional adapter. and the built-in battery is not user-replaceble. it costs a lot to change the built-in ipod battery, whereas, i can just get a normal rechargeble battery which costs a mere 10 bucks or something like that.

Capacity aside, what are the core features that make the thing usable? I think those are things worth discussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosidius Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I would take a Creative Flash Player like the one reviewed over a shuffle anyday. So what if you pay a little more, you get about 10x more the features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I would take a Creative Flash Player like the one reviewed over a shuffle anyday.? So what if you pay a little more, you get about 10x more the features. After doing all the research, I decided to buy aSamsung YP-MT6Z> 1gb MP3 player. I did a little write-up here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=350590&hl= It looks like this: Only cost $129.88 with no rebate needed. From Amazon.com. I really like it and glad I did not get the Shuffle after all. I got it over the iRiver 899 cause the iRiver has that copy protection junk on it and the Samsung does not. In fact, with the Samsung, you don't need any sort of driver at all in XP. Plus, 42 estimated hours off a standard AA battery. No proprietary nuthin! It just shuts up and does what I tell it to! :woot:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier1st Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 creative makes excellent mp3 players just they cost so damn much to buy,a 512 creative muvo costs 180 bucks.something similar costs half that and it comes with 512 and it is upgradable.
