Can't beat it for $25

Great player for throwing around. Can't beat it for $xx

Small and lightweight. It'ts a pretty solid little player. Comes with a lanyard

Only 128mb, but enough to hold a a full cd and a few tracks. I don't really like the included earbuds, the player has good sound with other earbuds

Cool

This is pretty good.I got it in a few days and its great. What I liked the most was the price. I see all the kids at my school with those hundred dollar ones and I laugh. I actually would recomend this as a main MP3.

Lihtweight ; Small ; Inexpensive ; Great Company ; clear,loud

Ok earbuds ; Not really many songs (around 30)But I really dont need that much I only have around 10 right now ; No screen

i love it

no screen but i don't need nor expect one for this price.

i bought 2 of them for playing mp3's. I use Windows Explorer to drag & drop files to it. Sound quality is excellent. Light weight. Didn't have to install any software, Windows Me detected it fine. I also like the ability to use it as a USB drive for...

the packaging did not include the CD as stated, but u don't need it, the manufacturers site has drivers for Win 98 & software if u need it. I don't like the earphones, after awhile they hurt the ears, but that is trivial. I hooked up various headphones...

Creative MuVo Black 128MB MP3 Player

Packaging Includes: 1 AAA battery, lanyard, headphones; literallly took me about 5 minutes from opening the package to listening to music

Inexpensive, small, light weight, can be used as a portable USB 2.0, decent battery life, easy to use, decent sound

No display, included headphones are pretty bad, can get only about 25 songs on this

Basic, inexpensive yet functional...

This player is just like the ixxd sxxxxle but 1/3 the price. I wouldn't recommend this being your primary player, but would be good to use for kickin' around or letting the kids use.

I was looking for a player for a very specific reason... running. This player is lightweight, plays loud, is very basic and inexpensive. I didn't want an expensive player because if I drop it (which I will) or lost it I won't care. There is no LCD...

The battery cover comes off a little too easy for my liking. The headphones could be more comfortable, but I didn't expect much for the price I paid. Other Muvo players came with armbands. I thought this did too, but I was wrong. It comes with only a...

Creative Labs MuVo MP3 Player - Simplicity by design

The early days of MP3 players had memory based storage. It wasn't until a little later that the iPod and it's hard drive solution took over the market. The Creative Labs Nomad MuVo 128 MB MP3 Player is an early example of the memory based ...

Excellent sound, small form factor, uses only 1 battery, works with Audible and DRM WMAs

only 128 Megs of storage, no readout whatsoever

Do Not Buy This Product

Lightweight, sounds good at first while it is working

They all seem to stop working after a few months.

Perfect for the gym, but shuffles identically every time

At 128 mb this might not seem like enough capacity for an mp3 player, but trust me, unless you are a professional weightlifter or you run marathons every day this capacity will work for your workouts. The software that comes with this has a smartfit ...

Lightweight, solidly constructed, connects directly to USB port (no wires!)

Batteries, somewhat smaller capacity than other models
