Buy.com - Creative Muvo TX FM 1GB MP3 Player for $40
Creative Muvo TX FM 1GB, Red in color for $40 after Google Checkout automatic discount. Few stores still sell this tiny MP3 player, but those who do usually sell the 1GB version for around $70. One reason Buy.com has it for less is the Red is not a popular color.

The Muvo TX FM model has been around for years, but we recommend it for a tiny portable MP3 player, even over the newer Creative Nano Plus and Muvo V100 because this has a built-in USB port. It is very useful when traveling, since it lets you share music and files with friends’ computers without the hassle of carrying a cable.

Another difference with the Muvo TX FM is it uses a single AAA battery instead of a rechargeable battery like those built-in to iPods. While using AAA batteries are less convenient than a built-in rechargeable battery, it has some advantages. Rechargeable batteries only last for around 4-5 years of use, so devices with built-in batteries must be serviced when the built-in battery no longer carries a charge. With a AAA battery device, just replace the battery whenever its power is empty. Also a replaceable AAA battery means you are not limited to the power of just one battery, since you can carry extra AAA batteries with you and expect to get 15 hours of play time per Alkaline battery (or a little less for rechargeable AAA batteries). When traveling for a long period, this can be better than iPod users who are limited to the charge on their built-in rechargeable battery until they must find a power outlet.
