Initial review of Creative Muvo MP3 player

So far I love my new mini MP3 player, a 256MB Creative Muvo TX FM. All I wanted was something lightweight to hold a few hours of music while I run. Something inexpensive, simple, and that didn't require a particular brand of software. This one functions as a USB thumb drive; I just drag MP3s onto it and hit shuffle. The LCD orientation can be reversed, so that the track title is right-side up no matter which arm the player is strapped to. When you reverse the orientation, the next-track scrollwheel on the side reverses, as well. Nice and consistent. But the volume buttons don't reverse. Somewhat confusing, but overall easy enough to use without much attention. A more thorough review may appear here over time.

And my indie-rock pretensions go out the window when I run; nothing but old-school Bobby Brown, LL Cool J, and Michael Jackson get my feet moving.
