I rather the MPIO FY400 |
My first mp3 player was the mpio fy400 which I loved, but then it stopped working. I got this as a replacement and comparing the two the fy400 is many times better than this player. Some points of comparison:
* The screen on the fy400 is larger and higher resolution.
* The navigation on the fy400 is better with the five way stick and a wheel for volume.
* The fy400 has support for deep folders, as such I had two top folders, Data and Music and under the Music folder I had my other folders with my groupings of mp3s. In the muvo I have lots of top level folders, messy.
* The fy400 would tell you the usage as it started up, good way to keep an eye on things as you add songs to it, or use it as a pen drive.
* This is a big one: since the fy400 is one complete unit, not a separate battery & player, when you connect it to your pc to load more music or something you don't loose your fm presets. Since you separate the muvo player from the battery you loose the presets when you connect the player to your pc.
* The fy400 is lighter than the muvo.
* There's an external 'hard' button on the fy400 to lock the buttons, so when it's in your pocket it can't accidentally turn on. The lock buttons function on the muvo is a setting in the menu.
* The carry case was better for the fy400, the 'case' from the muvo only protects the battery pack.
* The fy400 had all the recording features of the muvo and also had line in recording, for those of you wanting to use an external mic for recording podcasts or anything else.
So if the fy400 is soo much better than the muvo why did I buy it and why did I give it 4 stars? Because it seems the fy400 doesn't last. My fy400 stopped working after 6 months and apparently that's a common thing. Maybe I'll get another mpio brand player the next time I'm looking for an mp3 player but for now this seems like the choice for a player with a built in usb plug. |

everything expected from muvo |
| Good sound, easy to use, a limited but decent set of features. Creative shows a well evoluted product without diluting too much from the original muvo concept. |

Great sound - a lot of features |
Very elegant solution for portable MP3 player and USB2 memory stick.
Flash memory is much better for MP3 players than HD based devices if you plan to walk or run with it. I had a 20GB player and the HD died afte running with is few times. 1GB is more than enough.
The sound is excellent - quality and volume.
Radio, equalizer and recorder all function on one AAA battery.
Great product! |
