This is one smart MP3 player, I purchased this as a second player after my 6gb mini ipod. I was going to buy an ipod nano but had heard that they scratch really easily and I thought I would go for something a little cheaper. I got it at Dixons for just over £30. For the price I didn't expect that much from it but it's a little stunner. Its not as good quality as my ipod but I can't complain for £30. I only got a 1gb one but you can get a 2gb also for a little more money.
The Contents of the box included: 1 Creative MUVO V100 1GB MP3 player AAA battery Installation cd Quick start guide
The MP3 player itself is quite small at 74.5mm x 36.5mm x 15mm and weighs in at 33g. It is mainly white but there is a black border around the LCD display there is a blue backlight that comes on whilst the MP3 player is in use. The MP3 player is reversible for either left handed or right handed operation, so that's a plus point and good design feature. There is also a voice recording feature that you can have some fun with. You will need AAA batteries to use this player.
It is compatible with MP3 and also WMA files. I was told it could hold up to 500 MP3 songs by the person who sold me it but one thing to remember is that it all depends on the size of the MP3 files. It also has Lyrics display support so that you can view the lyrics of your fave songs.
You are able to customise the audio of your tracks with the 4 preset EQ settings of Pop, Rock, Classical and Jazz.
There are 6 different colour sets of earphones that you can purchase if you don't like the stock ones, such as pink, blue, yellow, black, white and grey.
You connect the MP3 player to a computer by USB 1.1 to transfer any files that you may want or even delete them. When you plug it in it will show up as a mass storage device, so all you have to do is drag and drop files onto your MP3 player.
The MP3 player comes with the software you need to be able to do the above and more. You should get on your disk Creative Media source with this you can store and organize your music tracks and even edit your music to make it sound better. You can create playlists. It's like itunes software for the ipod. You also get Creative explorer and a Lyrics editor. I thought this was a good selection of software for such a cheap device.
Below I have put the System requirements for software
Windows 2000/xp Pentium III 1GHZ / AMD Duron 1GHZ 128MB RAM (256MB recommended) 170MB Free Disk Space CD-ROM Drive USB 1.1 (2.0 recommended)
I think that this was a bargain buy you get so much for such a low price but everything has a downside, it's nowhere near as good as my IPOD but I didn't expect it to be considering the massive price difference. It is very easy to use and doesnt take long to get the hang of. The music isn't as clear as I would have liked but it's bearable and something you can put to the back of your mind. There could be a few more accessories to go with but then you can't have everything. I am pleases with my buy but you get what you pay.
Thanks for reading, hope it helps in your decision!!!!!!!!
Advantages: Nice sound, nice design, cheap price Disadvantages: Not as good quality as ipod
This review is about the Creative Muvo V100 mp3 player. I had a Creative Muvo mp3 player for around about two years and then it broke in January just gone. I was quite upset as I was really happy with that mp3 player however I knew there was nothing that I could do but buy a new one. With getting a new job a few months earlier I had a lot of money spare and wondered whether to get a 30GB ipod like we just got for the family or not. The sound on the ... ...one, however when I had a think about the problem, I realized it is a lot of money to be paying for something I don’t use all the time.
So I looked to my good old faithful Creative. I was happy with the mp3 players they produce and thought ill get another one instead of getting the ipod. Right I was to do so! I looked in Argos and saw their range and picked out one similar to my old one but a few models on, it was £35 and was 1GB. I decided to purchase ...

Why I love my Creative Muvo
1) The Creative Sound Quality
Believe me, the sound quality of the product is better than any player in this price range or even the ipods. Creative achieves this using their superior sound processing techniques. There is no dispute as to who produces the world's best consumer soundcards. hehe... And, that combined with the solid earphones which makes it easier to separate even the tiniest of sounds. That said, the low ... ...And to add to that, creative seems to have some sort of technology to normalize the volume even if we happen to slide one of the frequency to the top, and cause saturation. So, you won't hear any distorted sound, even if you slide the equalier in the most crazy manner. The Custom Equalizer is an added advantage, when we decide to use a 3rd party earphone at some point of time. The preset eq settings will be tailor-made for the stock earphones. So, ...

Advantages: Sleek Design, accesible customistion options Disadvantages: Headphones are of average quality
Having obtained this little gem from my local electronics store I expected some limitations due to its cheap price, the device proved me wrong, it is sturdy, sleek and compact the low sound can be adjusted through the use of the customisation (this also has presets for seperate music genres) and the LCD screen is bright and effecient, A decent AAA Duracell battery provides decent playtime durations. The factor of battery operation may also be of ... ...and can be performed with haste, bundled software is not a neccesity either as, in the mould of Apples Shuffle, the MUVO acts as a removable disk drive, using Windows Media player you simply sync the MP3 file to the device, go to the device and place the mp3(s) in your chosen folder (there are three to choose from).
Overall I rate this player highly and due to its bargain prize and compact nature, would describe it as beig of greater value than ...

It seems that unfortunately Apple has managed to shake off one of its leading competitors in the race to produce the cheapest and most stylish mp3 player. A few years back, the '''Creative Zen:M''' was actually a better product than the '''5th Generation more
