Creative MuVo Slim 256MB Review

256mb mp3 player

The Creative MuVo Slim 256MB MP3 Player is one of the thinnest MP3 players I have seen in a long time. This 256mb MP3 player also features some of the best sound quality on the market today.

The MuVo Slim also allows you to record your own voice and save these files directly onto your 256mb MP3 player.

The MuVo is targeted towards business professionals but it makes a great 256mb MP3 player for just about anybody. The only complaints I have is that the ear buds are not that comfortable, but you can replace these with a pair that you like. Also, this 256mb MP3 player needs a USB Cable to recharge but these are just minor drawbacks. All in all this is one of the best new 256mb MP3 players on the market for those who do not have thousands and thousands of songs to store.

Tech Specs

• Size: 2.2 inches by 3.3 inches by 0.3 inches

Executive  Summary about  256mb mp3 player by VRArchiver

First, let’s start off with some brief technical specifications of the player:

The player’s remote control is an optional item that can be purchased seperately from the player and wasn’t included in the review. People who’s interested in this player might want to prepare a seperate set of earphones to be used together with the player.

Notice the three circular things on the rear of the player?

Switching the MP3 player on was quite a breeze and was pretty intuitive (just by the press of the PLAY button).

One honorable mention about this MP3 player is the ability to record from 3rd party sources like a Mini-Disc player, eg CD players using the Line In jack, particularly useful when users do not have access to a computer. The major flaw in the player is the missing ‘hold’ switch from the player. I experienced a lot of disruptions while using the player on train trips and while walking with the player in my pocket. Hopefully Aigo can correct this flaw in their future players.

The USB Data Interface connector and the Charger shares the same connector, and it’s not possible to charge the player via USB. User will be unable to use the player for file transfer while charging the player. The player comes with an unique text to speech function, allowing you to convert text files into speech files, but i doubt that anyone will look into this feature when purchasing a MP3 player of their choice.

Pros:

Really TFT LCD display
Impressive recording functions
Disk explorer

Cons

Built in Battery
Limited file formats supported
Missing ‘Hold’ Switch
Long charging hours
Short ear phone
Remote must be purchased seperately from the player
