I love this little robot with all my heart (Rating: 5 out of 5) I was given this device as a Christmas gift several years ago. I adore it and use it daily. It's the rarest of gadgets:
1. Utterly useful: it plays MP3s, records WAVs, and receives FM radio.
2. Utterly simple: It's basically a USB drive with a play button and a headphone jack on it. It runs forever on a single AAA battery. It's light as a feather and can fit comfortably inside your mouth, should the need arise.
3. Utterly compatible: I've used it with a multitude of computers and operating systems, and the little guy has never let me down.
True, it's not going to hold your entire music library, it's only going to hold the songs you really, really like at any given time. It encourages you to live a life of all killer, no filler. In today's "infinite, instant gratification" culture, that's a humane gift.
This little robot has markedly improved the quality of my life without asking anything in return. I just bought another one for backup in case anything should ever happen to mine, God forbid. Enthusiastically recommended!
It's A Classic!!! (Rating: 5 out of 5) I've had mine for a few years...has fallen a number of times....even split open at one end...just pushed it back together...and pressed play. Nuff nice features, good sound quality...not the best...but pair it would the right headphones and it will surprise (the headphones that came with it didn't last that long). The only real con is that the voice recording function isn't the best...a little noise always kicks in at the beginning of the recording. I have access to a variety of mp3 players...Ipod, Sandisk, SE W810i(good sound quality) but for the rugged fun this is still my pick. It is a little dated but if you can get it cheap...definitely cop it.
2.5 years and going strong (Rating: 5 out of 5) I bought this MP3 player 2.5 years ago,and have had no problems with it. I used it off and on for most of the time, but this past month I use it daily when going for walks. It holds enough music for my hour long stroll about town. The battery life seems to last a while. It's no big concern to carry an extra battery anyway. Very easy to plug and ply on my pc and my laptop, no software needed. All music is loaded via drag'n'drop. I do use an outside program to rip my cd's to mp3,which is a life saver.
I've also used this as a flash drive before I bought a 2 gig usb drive.
My only true complaint is the earbuds, I hate them with a passion. So I replaced them with a pair of behind the neck head phones, problem solved.
Only thing I wish I did different was to not get FM radio (Sirius Subscriber,so I avoid terrestrial radio), and maybe more memory. But 40 or so songs is enough to cover my daily walk routine.
All in all(minus the ear buds) I'd say this little guy has been very reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to get another if I have to.
Really need improvements (Rating: 2 out of 5) The battery cap is extremely fragile. It breaks easily.
I bought three MuVo to my daughters and all of them are broken. They aren't kids anymore.
At least, the gadget works fine but you must update its firmware or it will stuck very soon.
Better that the Nano....the 1GB version (Rating: 5 out of 5) This item is better than the Nano, has voice recorder, FM, mp3, it is great !
