Umm why is the 1GB priced higher than the 1.5GB unit and the 512MB X-trainer priced higher than the 1.5GB unit too?

I went to Creative Labs website and these are the right prices...pretty dang expensive. I would still take an iPod over these even though it is hard drive based. Or that new TOshiba Gigabeat player.

x-trainer is more cuz its flash memory not a hard drive with moving parts you dumass think about it flash cost more than hard drive cuz no moveing parts f**king noob or total dumass one of the 2 has 2b you jk :D man but ya im surprized 512 mb storage and up2 98 db sound Q is dame effing good for that price probably the best you'll get at that price with that sound Q

Maybe I am missing something but I think all three are Flash based.

[pike119]

all are except for the 1.5gb it has a 1inch hard drive

[techfreak]

ahh thanks. Still way too spendy IMO. For some of those prices you could buy an iPod.

[pike119]

it all just depends on what your doing you know if your active all the time running ect go with flash if your not active go hard drive for the price of there one gb flash memory you can get a hard drive based one with 20-40 gb for the same price or less from them what it all boils down to is are you an active person or not

active=flash
non active=hard drive

thats the basic idea

and make sure when buying that the player is sdmi complient ( can read watermarked files) and has at least 85 db s/n ratio thats why I like nomad cuz 90db snr on all modles i think and the new ones have 98 thats probably better than my ghetto blaster other things to look for is firmware upgradable and what else is included besides just the player and upgradable memory on those lower 128mb and 64mb players

Here's part of the cnet.com review:

"If you're looking for clean sound and a low price, and you don't mind syncing your player at least once a week, the MuVo² is hard to pass up. "

Syncing the player? What does that mean?

Maybe you have to sync it with your desktop computer? Hopefully uou do not need to keep your music library completely on both the desktop and the MP3 player~!?
