Any opinions here?

I had the old Muvo. Worked well + nice audio. Other than that, this model still looks dated heh.

I have the 4gb version of the muvo2. Picked it up about 2 yrs ago for $140 and still use it for tunes, storage, whatever. Heck I even play movies on my laptop off the thing : ) Big plus for me was no proprietary software - just plug it in and dump your songs on.

the only faults i can think of:

menu nav - the 5-way nav button is TINY but usable
charge cable - it's about a mile long (PITA when traveling)

if you're looking for a no-frills player, pick it up.

Right, as if I were shopping for some Apple product. I don't make enough $ to worry about image like that.

Is it flash or HD based?

Good to know. Thx!

To add to the other posters:
Good - no software is needed to manage/organize files, it works using directories, not playlists
Bad - I hear a fairly loud hissing coming from the headphones whenever backlight is on, as soon as backlight goes out the hissing disappears too. Sort of annoying.
