Description: The Creative Muvo TX FM is a 1 GB, flash player. Compared to other flash MP3 players on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $65.

Pros: Has a 1.1 oz weight. This is lighter than the average MP3 player on the market today, but is to be expected for a MP3 player of this price. This unit comes with a radio tuner.

Cons: Has a 0.05% total harmonic distortion, which is somewhat less favorable than some similarly priced MP3 players. For example, the Creative Zen Nano Plus , a 1 GB MP3 player at around $70, has a 0.1% total harmonic distortion.

Suitability: Suited for those who want to store a goodly amount of songs. Listen to your favorite local stations on this radio equipped player. Funkify your listening experience with the blue backlit display on this player. According to the manufacturer this player will last approximately 15 hour(s) between charges; your run-time will vary based on use and power management configuration. Flash-based players are a little more durable than their disk-based cousins. If you bike or jog with your MP3 player, you may want to opt for a flash player like this one.

Value: In view of its relatively inexpensive price, this MP3 player has great features for the money.

Suggestions: Audiophiles may wish to buy aftermarket headphones for better sound reproduction.
