Creative Technology Nomad MuVo (128 MB) MP3 Player (7300000000011)

The item is good by it's specification. I just thought that it had FM tuner. It would have been great though. Overall, the easy way of storing audio/music files are so easy.

I like everything about it, I have my songs downloaded to it and I use it when I exercise. It is not big and bulky and doesn't get in the way. We can hook it into our jack on our home stero system and play it over the speakers. I have purchased one of these for everyone in our family!

Just months after owning the player, it shuts down as and when it likes. The company's service center constantly asked me to download an updated version of the firmware for the player. It worked a few times, but the auto shutdown problem kept recurring. It was highly annoying and disruptive. Then to make matters worst, the player started turning off each time I plug in my headphones! I brought it to the service center, and the “BEST” they could do was sell me another player! Like I would want to pay more to go through the whole experience of auto shutdowns again!

After a week or two, mine started turning off randomly and eventually stopped responding. Since it was so cheap, I bought another. This one I ruined by getting out of my car while it was still connected, visibly ripping out the USB connector. Since I had done this with the first unit, although it still worked, I figured that's what messed it up.

So I bought it a third time (it's only $20). After replacing the battery, it turned on once and it was unresponsive again. I reseated the battery and now it won't even turn on. This is the second day I've had it; I didn't even get a chance to use it.

Perhaps the players I bought were inexpensive for a reason, and maybe the newer versions are more durable. But I'm not taking any more chances on this player again; three times was already absurd.
