Creative's Nomad Muvo2 - Interface (continued)
The delete function within the menu doesn't provide the ability to delete everything or a folder; instead, it is done one by one. This gets tedious after a while, and in the future, we would like to see the ability to delete a simple folder.

The settings that pertain to the Muvo2 are fairly simple and Creative provides only the essentials: contrast, backlight time (off, 3, 5, 10, and 15 seconds), many languages, idle shutdown (off, 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes), and information.

Contrast is controlled in a similar manner as volume, using the vertical toggle, and it has a scale of 0 to 100.

The backlight and idle shutdown options, meanwhile, come with a different scheme. Since there are only 5 options from which to choose, this is the very easy to follow, but obviously limits the user's choices.

I wonder what the percentage of people are using this for what it was designed for vs. the drive camera angle. Creative probable doesn't care, as long as they sell, but...nigham - Sunday, May 30, 2004 - link
one thing i noticed with the Muvo NX - my current MP3 player - it DOES NOT recognize files that start with odd characters '[', '_' and such to be music files. caused me a huge heartache when i first bought it coz all my files are organized as "[Artist] Song Name"!!nigham - Sunday, May 30, 2004 - link
does this play .ogg format? i sorely need a player that plays ogg (since all my music is in that format) - and as of now, i believe only iRiver supports it.Lurks - Saturday, May 29, 2004 - link
Deleting posts? Nice...MrEgo - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - link
Ok, I admit I hardly know a thing about MP3 players. That being said, I am looking for a good MP3 player to listen to while I exercise. So basically, here's my requirements:1. Cannot skip while I run or bike.
2. Able to upload songs from my computer onto the player.
3. Able to delete/add files freely without buying memory cards.
Would the player that was just reviewed support my needs? If so or if not, does anyone have any other suggestions for other players that may be cheaper that would suit my needs?

What formats does it support? MP3, obviously, but how about .wma or .ogg?Foxbat121 - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 - link
Correction: Type II CF rather than Type IIIFoxbat121 - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 - link
Micro Drive is type III CF compatible which means you can used it as Type II CF cards. And I think we're talking about Muvo2 4GB here not 1.5GB.nightowl - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 - link
I thought the Muvo2 1.5GB used a microdrive and not flash memory. Everything I have read says that it and the Rio Nitrus use a microdrive instead of flash memory.Foxbat121 - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 - link
Most people bought Muvo2 just for the internal CF sized microdrive. You will find a lot of Muvo2's on sale on eBay without the microdrive. The MD alone costs $500 retail. ANd it works with most digital cameras that accept CF II cards. iPod has the same micro drive but is specifically modified so that it won't work inside a camera.It's hard to find anywhere that has Muvo2 in stock. Most places sold out in a few hours.
