Creative introduces the MuVo Micro MP3/WMA Player
Creative Technology announced the MuVo? Micro flash memory based MP3/WMA player.
Smaller than competing players and now available at incredibly low prices, the Muvo Micro (model N200)
comes in eight electrifying colors.
At only 33.5mm by 65.5mm by 13mm and weighing at 32 grams, the incredibly thin MuVo Micro measures
approximately one third the thickness of the competing iRiver player and about half the thickness of
Samsung's competitive offering. Even though it has an incredibly small size, the MuVo Micro enables
line-in recording to create MP3 files directly from a CD, mini-disc or record player, and up to 15 hours
of high quality digital voice recording. The MuVo Micro also plays and records FM radio. With the
built-in microphone, it can also directly records voice notes, interviews or lectures, and holds up to
500 skip-free songs on the 1GB model.
With the announcement of the MuVo Micro, Creative introduces a line of beautiful flash memory-based MP3/WMA players with ultra-compact size and durable solid state construction. The MuVo Micro ideally complements the Zen Micro line of 5GB microdrive-based players which were introduced this week and are available in ten colors, including eight that match the MuVo Micro. Now music listeners can have a Creative MP3 player for any activity, from exercising with a flash memory-based MuVo Micro to enjoying a 2500-song collection on a long trip or connecting at home to a stylish Creative I-Trigue? speaker system. Users can choose one of each player in a favorite color or mix and match as desired.
By offering broad compatibility with popular download services supporting WMA and MP3 music, the MuVo Micro gives users a wide range of choices in acquiring digital music. Regardless of whether users purchase tracks online, transfer music from a PC, or import directly from any audio source with line-in encoding, they can enjoy continuous playback of more than 15 hours of pristine, skip-free music from a single AAA battery on any model of MuVo Micro. The music listening experience is further enhanced by the bundled dynamic bass earphones for rich, crystal-clear high fidelity playback. A blue, backlit LCD screen displays song title, play time, play mode, FM tuner and preset settings. Favorite songs and EQ settings, such as Pop and Rock, are effortlessly selected with one-finger using the side-mounted scroller button.
Because the MuVo Micro requires no software, users can quickly and easily drag and drop music, files and images to the player when it is connected to a PC USB 2.0 port. The MuVo Micro comes bundled with Creative MediaSource?, an easy to use music application that converts CD collections into a digital music library, organizes and manages digital music, and seamlessly transfers tracks to any of Creative's portable music players.
