Creative's MuVo TX FM

Performance
Radio
Although the features are pretty average as Mp3 players go these days, I am impressed with performance of almost all except the radio. Firstly, in auto scan mode it doesn’t pick up the stations at all, while traveling or stationary. When it does happen to find stations and store them as presets all you’ll gets is static. Manually selecting stations is the way to go in this case. The signals still didn’t come in too clearly and were scratchy at best. SO naturally it made no sense trying to record from the radio. But since it’s my job, I tried recording from the stations that came in clearer than the others. The quality was, as expected, scratchy.

Music
The MuVo TX FM reads Mp3 and WMA formats that can simply be copy pasted in to the player while connected to the PC. You can create folder to segregate your music if you want. Using the Jog-dial to enter the menus you can go to the ‘Folder Skip’ option to find the folder you’re looking for. The problem here is, I couldn’t find a way top select any one particular track. Just the folders they were in. So you’ll be kipping (if you’ll pardon the expression) your way to the track of your choice.

The TX FM also has EQ presets to enhance your listening experience (Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classical). But if you’re like me and prefer to adjust the levels to your personal preference, you’re in luck. There’s a customizable 5 band EQ setting as well. Sound quality is excellent. The earphones provided are capable of allowing you to retreat into your own world be it in the office or in the middle of the fish market. Believe me, a stinky experience it may have been, but like I said before, it’s my job. Just to check I even tried the earphones with other devices and the MuVo with other earphones. Both delivered in spades. SO I know where my next set of earphones are coming from. In a nutshell, sound quality and output combined are awesome!
