Introduction:::…
With
the birth of flash drive and electronic components becoming
smaller, portable audio players have been popping up left
and right.
Each
one seems better than the next because each one is trying
to outdo the next when it comes to features, size or both.
Each
one has their own unique abilities.
Creative's
offering in this sector is the popular MuVo series media
player.
These
small portable audio players are rich in features and design.
If
you look on the American Creative site, you won’t find these
players easily because they have the extension Nomad added
to the name. In
Europe the name Nomad was already taken; so, they dropped
it as an extension and stuck with just MuVo.
Creative
has been kind enough to provide me with the MuVo V200 in
a 128MB flavour variety.
Let’s
have a look at it.

is the 128 MB model)
System requirements:::…
Here
are the system requirements needed for the MuVo.
Because the MuVo acts like a flash drive, the system
requirements are not extraordinary.
þ
Microsoft®
Windows® 98SE/2000/Me/XP
þ
Intel®
Pentium® II 350MHz AMD® K6®-2 450MHz or better processor
(Pentium III 450MHz or higher recommended for MP3 encoding)
Since
the MuVo is recognized as a mass storage device, Windows
98 SE shouldn't need a driver to enable viewing of the MuVo.
