Creative Sound Blaster MP3+ external sound card

Advantages: Good software bundle, cheap, works well.
Disadvantages: Only stereo out on analogue

...It's not always easy or convenient to open your PC to install a new soundcard. You may just not like the idea of physically opening the machine. It may be you are a laptop owner and plagued by their notoriously poor audio capabilities. In either case, if you need to upgrade your machine's sound capabilities, the Creative SoundBlaster MP3+ is just what the doctor ordered. I've had mine a couple of years now so you'll probably be looking to eBay or similar if you want to get one now. Installation Being a USB device, you simply need to install the drivers, plug it in to a USB socket and away you go. The MP3+ takes its power from the USB connection so no external power pack is needed which is a major plus point when your computer corner is heaving with external power packs hanging out of wall sockets. My PC has Windows XP...

Review of Creative MuVo Micro N200

Creative MuVo TX MP3 player review

Advantages: Quick to upload tracks, small, light weight
Disadvantages: small memory, frustrating to use

.... (If you dont know what these are look for headphones with a sliding button halfway down the wire.) All in all: If you don't need much memory then buy this now! If you need slightly bigger memory look for another Creative with 1G plus. The design is fantastically useful and handy, you can keep whatever you like on it. If you plan to have more than 200 songs I'd seriously recommend an I-pod or an MP3 player which allows you to sort your songs into categories and find songs easily. Also: Shop around there is ALWAYS a creative at a lower price. Try European companies. It'll take three days or so longer to ship but it might be up to twenty pounds cheaper....

Review of Creative MuVo TX FM 128 MB

A very creative Mp3 player

Advantages: small, has a a clear fm radio, size of storage.
Disadvantages: box it came in

...I purchased this Mp3 Player from Currys I decided on 1GB flash memory storage because it would hold at least 16 hours of MP3 music or 32 hours of WMA music. This equates to around 320 MP3 song and 450 MWA files which I believe is the easier and better way to load files on to the flash memory. The Muvo is small light and compact and reuqires 1 one "AAA" battery, it also has a microphone that allows a voice recording function of which you can record 64 hours. I havent tried this but I assume this is without any song material on the memory. The Player also incorperates 5 band graphic equaliser and 4 presets to suit your taste in music, a thing I have noticed against my cheaper old mp3 oplayer is the excellent sound quality of the creative brand. To move files from laptop or computer is easy with the universal USB 2...

Creative MuVo Mp3 Player

Advantages: Small, lightweight, easy file transfer, good sound quality, great value!
Disadvantages: Voice recorder has limited range, some people may want larger capacity

...I've had this mp3 player since Christmas and it hasn't let me down. It's small and lightweight, and fits easily in your pocket/bag, so is great for use on the move. It measures roughly 7 x 3.5 x 1cm, and is about the size of one of a small matchbox. The actual player is the size of a USB memory stick, which slots into the plastic battery housing. You can also buy different coloured battery housing for the player, if you feel like a change. The one that came with mine was a nice metallic blue colour. The best thing about this player is its simplicity, you simply plug it into your computer's USB port, open up the device folder and drag and drop files into it - it's as easy as that! There's no time consuming or space-wasting conversion of files to make them compatible for the player. You can even organise files into playlists by creating...

Creative Muvo TX 128mb mp3 player

Advantages: Small, compact. Easy to use and upload files, can be used as a normal flash drive
Disadvantages: Memory is a bit on the small side, a drop down menu would be nice

...The Creative Muvo TX is a small, affordable, easy to use mp3 player. I bought mine in January this year, and have really enjoyed using it! I have been very pleased with the feature of just dragging and dropping files like a normal flash drive would, as most mp3s come with annoying software that you have to install, but with this i just drag and drop the files i want! Alternatively, it is possible to syncronise it with windows media player 10, so i can open up my favorite playlist and just drag and drop files. Also, it is fairly cheap item to buy, so you can have fun without paying over the odds. Combined with the headphones provided, it gives execlent sound quality, and a pack of four AAA batteries will last you about 64 hours! - It only takes one AAA battery, and that'll last you 16 hours! It even has a built in microphone, so you...

Review of Creative MuVo TX FM 128 MB

Creative MuVo

Advantages: Good sound quality, music on the go, a lot of storage space
Disadvantages: No LCD screen or shuffle function

...After breaking my second CD player in 3 months, I headed off to Dixons to buy a new one when this caught my eye. It was just £79 which I found surprising as I thought all mp3 players were around £200. Caught by the moment, I decided to buy it. It is very light, almost too light; it is possible to forget that you are carrying it if you have it in your pocket! It is slightly larger than your average lighter and comes in two parts: A snazzy blue part that I presume contains all the computery stuff required to play the songs stored on the player. It is fairly glittery and contains the Creative logo on it. The other part is the part that you plug into your computer. It unclips easily from the blue part to reveal a USB plug that you can plug into your computer so you can put all the songs on your computer onto it. It is silvery and has...

Review of Creative MP3 Player

Creative zen 32gb - innovative and stylish mp3

Advantages: large viewing screen, photos storage, radio, recording, sd slot, good sound quality
Disadvantages: reliability, durability - easily scratched, no mains charger

...I have owned a Creative ZEN 32gb mp3 player for approximately a year - previous to this I had a much older creative zen which lasted well until it was finally drowned in a deluge of water. As such I was veering towards buying another zen due to my previous positive experiences. I came across this one online and read a number of reviews - half claiming it was the best mp3 ever and the other that it was the worst. Never had I seen such a difference of opinion! but much of the negativity came from the fact that many people had bought the mp3 player only to find that it stopped working rather quickly. After some consideration I decided to go ahead and purchase one. Negatives: After 2 weeks it stopped working - the screen turned white and the reset button had no effect. I got it replaced and a year later it is still working fine - the only...

Review of Creative Zen 32GB

The MuVo squared, a superb mp3 player.

Advantages: Price, Looks, Simple to use, Good functionality.
Disadvantages: Small LCD

...Creative - a well established name in the PC Audio market, which has managed to bring us high quality products for years. And with that said, the MuVo squared is no exception. The MuVo is one of a rapidly increasing number of mp3 players that are using reduced size hard drive technology (equal or smaller in physical size as those used in laptops), as opposed to removable or flash memory. This offers one distinct advantage: storage capacity. The MuVo offers a storage capacity of 1.5Gb. Creative quotes 850 as the number of songs that you can hold on this device, but it's a maximum, since this assumes that you're using 64kbs WMA files with an average length of 3.5 mins, which let's face it, probably isn't the case. Still, you're still going to be able to store several hundred tracks, which is plenty for my liking. Sure, I could spend...
