I just purchased a Creative Muvo TX FM mp3 player to replace the iRiver 180T I sold a while ago. The iRiver was a good player, but after the jog dial went out on me due to excessive use of the scan within track function (since I listen to a lot of talk shows), I decided to sell the warranty replacement I received and try something new.

After some research, I decided on the Muvo. So far it’s been a great little player but as always, there are a couple of usability issues. The first one is the holster that came with the player. Kudos to Creative to actually include it in the package and not force customers to buy it as an additional purchase. The problem with it is that you need to remove it from the holster to remove the USB key. This seems like an obvious need people would have and the current design with slight modification actually would allow for it. So I manage to use a sharp razor blade and trim the area around the slot so that the USB key would clear it and now it works perfectly!
