MuVo TX FM or Micro N200?

I was going to buy the TX FM, but now Creative is out with a new player. Can anyone give me a tip as to which one I should get?

Well it all depends on your needs...
see it this way - The Muvo TX works good for transferring/recieving files and music from other computers.. The battery lifetime is about the same as the N200 (15hrs)..
The positive things about the N200 is that its much more smaller, and... thats about it =P

I would recommend u getting the Muvo TX since it does not require any drivers or a USB Extension cable, and that if u have a friend that has some cool music that u want; just plug in the mp3 and u have those songs too..

The N200 is in basics, a Muvo Tx compacted into a colorfull little player that carries the same sound characteristics, and does not have a removable battery pack.. Just a cheap trick to make more money off us consumers, or?

Conclusion: Get the Muvo Tx

thanks, i just have one more question:
how are the radio receptions on the players?

if there really is nothing better about the N200 besides the size, then i'll definately get the TX, because they're almost the same size anyway

umm...I don't know about the reception difference. But size smaller = lighter. Although it's only about 10 grams difference (32 vs 22 grams). I don't know...the lighter the better? If you want it lighter AND smaller, then choose N200. But note that the screen is smaller on the N200 too (look at the borderspace around the screen).
