Amazon.com Product Description
Listen to your favorite music on the go with the Creative MuVo V100 MP3 player. Sporting a handy two-piece USB flash drive design, the 2 GB player can hold up to 1,000 songs in WMA format or 500 songs in MP3 format, more than enough for a cross-country road trip or international plane flight. It's also notably compact, with a sleek white housing that measures 2.93 by 0.59 by 1.44 inches (W x H x D) and weighs only 1.16 ounces. And left-handed listeners will love the reversible, blue backlit LCD display, which flips around for easy viewing from either side. The MuVo V100 is more than just an MP3 player, however. It also offers a drag-and- drop interface that lets you store text files, pictures, and more when connected to a PC. Simply slide the player apart, insert the USB plug into your computer, and transfer your music or data files onto the flash memory. As an alternative, listeners can record voice files via the built-in microphone. The voice recording function is the perfect way to capture seminars, meetings, song ideas, or even voice memos of your grocery list. And should you need to chase the blues away on a rainy day, you can turn to the lyric display function, which lets you sing along with your favorite artists (requires LRC files). The MuVo V100 is outfitted with several audio extras, including a customizable five- band equalizer with four playback presets (jazz, rock, pop, and classical), a Favorites folder that shuffles all your favorite tracks while on the go, and AudibleManager support that lets you download, burn, organize, transfer, and listen to Audible audio content on your player. Other details include a volume restriction option that protects your hearing and an extra-long 18-hour runtime per AAA battery. The MuVo V100, which requires a minimum Pentium III 1 GHz or AMD Duron 1 GHz processor running Windows 2000 or XP, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

Light, simple and covenient October 28, 2008
Once I got the hang of this little device, I was hooked. I use it mostly for foreign language programs. I like the convienience of using standard AAA batteries instead of an internal power source. I switched to rechargeable AAAs so I don't have to keep buying the disposable ones. With 2GBs of memory it's really adequate for my needs.
29 bucks a walmart September 27, 2008
An mp3 player is an mp3 player. I don't know how long it will last. Your better off managing your files with your pc to spare the little plastic buttons stress. I don't know how they can try and sell this thing for 82 bucks or whatever. I bought mine for 29 dollars at walmart 2 gigs with arm band and sleave black instead of white.
 Disappointed August 5, 2008
After paying good money for what was touted as a small, easy to use mp3 player, I have to say that the only thing going for it is that it is small. Like many others have found, it is anything but easy to use, and after having it for 60 days, the display goes blank or full of garbage after it finally comes up. Stay away from Creative products!!
 11 reasons why the MuVo is BETTER than an iPod July 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
1) Much smaller than an iPod.
2) Much lighter than an iPod. You won't even feel it when you're jogging. It weighs just 1.64 ounces.
3) Costs a fraction of what an iPod costs.
4) Easy to get songs on and off. Just plug into your USB port, then drag and drop your mp3's into the folder. Try THAT with an iPod.
5) Easy to modify, rename, and delete music folders. Just plug into your USB port and modify the folders. Try THAT with the complicated iTunes setup.
6) Has an FM radio. iPod does not.
7) Has a voice recorder. iPod does not.
8) Easily change songs and volume settings without looking at the device. MuVo has a protruding button that makes it easy to adjust settings even when running at full speed. No super sensitive iPod touchpad system to contend with.
9) Much less likely to be stolen than an iPod, and if it is, or if you lose it, no big deal because it's so inexpensive.
10) Easy to replace the batteries. Just open the back and put in a AAA. Try that with the iPod's non-replaceable proprietary battery.
11) Extremely well built. I've had mine for FIVE years! (I own the 256 mb version) Still works perfectly, and no scratches (if you haven't heard, iPods are very prone to scratching).
After five solid years of excellent performance, obviously I highly recommend this product. No iPod envy from me:-)
 It works ok, but slow, with stupid scroll wheel. July 16, 2008
I got this thing because it was cheap for a 2GB Flash MP3 player. I had previously used a 1GB iAudio G3, which I gave to my daughter. Wow, I miss that G3. It had a much easier scroll menu with a joystick, faster memory transfer, etc.
With the MuVo, the biggest drawback, not mentioned in any of the lead reviews so far, is that you can only scroll with this spring loaded wheel - the screen does not scroll in real time with you as you flick this button, probably because the flash memory or processer is REALLY SLOW, and so you can only guess at how many flicks of this wheel you need before you get to the song that you want. The menu on the LCD screen also only shows what is currently loaded to play, it doesn't give you a screen of several songs before and after like the iAudio.
So, scrolling through the menu to get to the song that you want is a VERY SLOW process on this MP3 player.
Transferring songs to it from your computer is also extremely slow - but others have mentioned that already.
Finally, also not mentioned so far, you have to install a driver to get it to even load any music from your computer. I only discovered later that you can load the Windows driver without having to load ALL of the MuVo software.
The iAudio G3 had none of these hassles, but, unfortunately, the 2GB G3 is not longer being produced, as Cowon seems to have stopped making any AA or AAA battery powered MP3 players.
