Strengths: *Flash Storage* (I bought a new player b/c my Rio hard drive-based one stopped fully functioning after 1 year of ownership, even though it's only had minor drops, nothing out of the ordinary)
Weaknesses: *if* you want something for long trips or frequent travelling, I would recommend something with more storage capacity. 512MB (~100+ songs) is a great size for 1-2 hr gym work-outs.
Summary: I gave the MuVo 4 stars w/ one stipulation - I rated it in comparison to other MP3 players in its price range. It's the only (relatively) inexpensive flash-memory-based player with an adequate storage capacity (but see Weaknesses above). For the price, it's a good deal. If I had someone else's money to spend, I would have gone for something closer to $200, but oh well :)
Physically, the packaging/buttons do feel somewhat flimsy, but I think I'll get used to them. It could be just b/c the whole player is so lightweight? The LCD screen is very nice and bright and easy to read. Also, the way the buttons are set up is much better than my Rio's was. Here the Play/Pause button is separate from the skip-ahead/go-back button, but in other players all those actions are accomplished by toggling 1 button 4 different ways. Very easy to screw up, especially while you're working out!
The way the player's menus are set up is also very logical & easy to navigate - again, unlike my Rio's was. Good software design to hard to find, so I appreciate it when I can.
In summary: $100 more could probably buy more solid packaging & more memory, but this player is fully capable of doing the basics.
