Creative MuVo Micro N200 MP3 player

Date Published: 8/20/08

The Creative MuVo Micro N200 digital audio player is available in a dazzling array of colors and storage capacities. Eight color choices and storage capacities of 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB can make it difficult to choose one over the others, which is a nice problem to have.

The N200 uses skip-proof Flash memory for all storage capacities. There is a built-in FM tuner, and content can be recorded directly into memory from FM radio or the built-in microphone. Audio can even be recorded directly through a line input. When loading songs through a PC (requires Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP and an Intel Pentium II or faster processor), the unit uses a USB 2.0 connection and is backward-compatible with USB 1.0. Once connected, the N200 requires no additional software to run, as it appears as an external storage device for quick and easy drag-and-drop file loading. This player will even hold other files such as documents and photos, and it will operate for about 15 hours on one removable AAA battery.

The N200 has one of the coolest features we've seen: the information on the LCD display can be rotated to make it easier for left-handed users to operate the player. How clever is that? The MuVo Micro N200 is a fantastic player, no matter what color or capacity is chosen.

The 256MB model has an MSRP of $89.99. The 512MB model is $119.99, and the 1GB model is $169.99.
