Creative MuVo Micro N200 512MB MP3 Player - White

Strengths: Very small,belt clip works well,good fm

Weaknesses: Only a quick start guide, needs a manual

Summary: This is a great mp3 player! I bought it to play my Audio books. It plays Formats 2 & 3 but not 4 which is ok because 3 is still good quality and lets you put more books on it at once! I have a 13 hour book loaded and room to spare! I like the white color as it looks sophisticated. The included headphones are ok for books but definitely not active wear as they fall out with moderate movement. FM reception is surprisingly good! Has so many features that it needs a manual to tell you what's what! Right now it's trial and error!

Great little player

Strengths: Very small, good sound quality, packed with features

Weaknesses: No bookmarking

Summary: I went into the market looking for a MP3 player to play audio books from netlibrary. I first ordered an iRiver T30 and it would skip when playing books and would reboot after getting about 90 minutes into a book. So I ordered this Creative Muvo Micro N200. According to ZDNET this unit is EXACTLY the same thing as the Creative Zen Nano Plus, but cost significantly less (about $30 less) just because it doesn't have 'Zen Nano Plus' written on the front. That aside, this player has great sound quality at all times except when the backlighting is on. When the backlighting is on, it causes an electronic hum in the earphones. For me, the major plus is that it WILL play netlibrary books - the only glitch with this is that it will not display the current time in track for these books . For music lovers (the majority of consumers), the timer works fine, but not on these files that are 24 hours long or so (not many songs near that long). The user interface is simple and functional. It really has only one, easy to use, input device (a little wheel gadget), so if you like lots of buttons, this unit is not for you.

Strengths: Compactness with nifty features.

Weaknesses: LCD light does create a buzz when turned on, although it's not a major problem to me. No playlist function; music files can only be organized into folders.

Summary: The sound quality is quite good. FM reception is impressive as well. The small size makes it gym-friendly, although the earbuds are not shaped properly for active wear. Radio recording and line-in mp3 encoding are some of the nice functions offered. Another icing on the cake is that the player supports Asian lauguage display, although you do need to use the Creative MediaSource for unicode encoding instead of loading songs directly with explorer. All in all, I think it's one of the best buys on the current market.

Strengths: Great sound. Records voice, radio, and makes MP3s through CD and tape players.

Weaknesses: Line-In recording compression for MP3s is low. The manual is generic so you have to figure out the buttons yourself, though not a big deal to most people.

Summary: Music sounds great to me. Headphones are good despite what some people think. The fit really depends on the shape of your ear really. I can run and have no problem with them falling out. Software and wires connect and install easily. USB transfers files in seconds. The button navigation is simple but takes a few minutes to figure out the menu. The MIC records my voice so I don't have to take notes and I can record the radio too. I mainly got Creative's N200 model because of the line-in recording so I can make MP3s out of my old cassette tapes and vinyl records but the highest MP3 compression setting on the N200 is too low for my standards and there is some distortion at playback. It may be passable to some people but I will play around with it more, maybe try a better tape player, but I wouldn't throw out my old cassette tapes yet.

Looks Good

Strengths: Through researching many Mp3s, I've noticed that this device has many of the features I enjoy (FM tuner, armband, flash drive) and is set at a reasonable price.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: I am about to purchase this item for my wife. She's is an avid fitness participant and I believe she'll find it very convenient and enjoyable. It has plenty of storage for songs, and if one gets tired of hearing their own songs, the FM tuner could solve that problem.
