Creative Muvo² 4 GB

Creative are now one of the leading MP3 Player brands in the world. I've known a lot of people with Creative MP3 players, and all have been very good with no problems whatsoever. It was probably 3/4 years ago now I wanted one of these for Christmas when I was about 14/15 years old. At the time, 4gb was pretty big for a MP3 player as they were quite new to the market (most other popular MP3 players at the time were 128, 256, 512 and 1024mb).

However, I wanted a simple good quality player for my money and I honestly believe this unit fits the bill nicely. 4GB, specially in Windows Meta Audio format (which the iPod does not have), provides more music than I imagined possible.
