Buy a Sandisk Sansa M240 instead
By Retired English Teacher
File transfer rate is at least FIVE TIMES SLOWER than equivalently-priced Sansa M240. MuVo v100 is Full-speed (actually USB 1.1) not Hi-speed (true USB 2.0). At Creative's site there are three pages of customer complaints about the MuVo v100 slow file transfer rate. No fix is currently available, though Creative customer service sends customers on a firmware-download wild goose chase and neglects to mention that the snail-like transfer rate is a well-documented problem. Also, the player's wheel, which needs to be turned and pushed, is an annoying gimmick. Finally, sound for playing audio books is indifferent. Stick to Sansa, the only problem with which, if you lose your place in an audio book, is a slow fast forward.

Best Little MP3 Player
By John B
I always thought that I would buy one of the Apple iPods, but after spending some (poor) quality time with the horrible iTunes software, I was soon cured of that fantasy. The moral of the story is, "If you don't like iTunes, don't waste your money on an iPod".I really just wanted an player to "drag and drop" my MP3 album folders to and the Creative Muvo V100 was just what I had been waiting for!Just copy your album folders to the player. You can do it from any Windows PC, without having to install any special software. The player's scroll wheel will allow you to display each album. Go into the album to play the whole thing or select just the song that you want to hear.Audio quality is great (just get some good "in ear" headphones). Controlling the player with the little wiggle wheel takes some getting used to. Battery life is good (turn off the backlight and it will play twice as long). One caution - if you let the battery run completely out, the player's firmware can become corrupted (it happens to me about 1 out of every 10 times when I let the battery go completely dead). Don't worry - you can fix your "brick" by going to the Creative web site and downloading the "MP3 Recovery Tool".Now that the price has dropped to $19.99 I'm buying two more!>>> 5 Month Update (03/27/2007) <<
Good value and easy to use
By M. Graves
I bought this MP3 as an upgrade to the previous Creative player I received as a gift a few years ago. I love the fact that you can connect to the computer via USB and add songs by the drag and drop method. However, the software that the player comes with is very user friendly. Of course this makes moving music much faster. The player menu is setup in an intuitive manner and the buttons on the unit are well placed.
