Creative MP3 Player 2 64MB
The Digital Mp3 player 2 is very, very small. Be sure you don't accidentally lose it.Small and lightweight the Creative Digital MP3 Player 3 is a 64MB MP3 player that will fit in the top pocket of your shirt without detection and without weighing you down. Creative also offers the player in a 32MB size, although that's rather small for serious MP3 usage. We'd definitely recommend anyone pondering the MP3 Player 2 to look at investing in a 128MB SD/MMC card.
Weighing in at 40 grams without batteries, this feather-weight MP3 player seems a little plastic and almost like a toy rather than a digital device for playing your favourite tunes. The basic look and feel of the Creative MP3 player 2 will definitely appeal to users who do not want a complicated device. On the front of the player is an LCD screen surrounded by 4 buttons that offer basic playback functionality that are self explanatory. On the top and sides of the player there are volume, repeat and graphic equalizer features that are straight forward and easy to use. Creative supplies a lanyard for neck wear, although we weren't brave enough to venture outdoors with a small plastic box swinging from our neck; your experience may vary.
Installing the software bundled with the player was user friendly on a windows PC and allowed users to transfer not only MP3 or WMA files but images and other media that can also be saved to the device or the expandable MMS card. Transferring files via the USB connection was fast and we managed to transfer about 30MB of songs onto the player in just over one minute.
The Creative MP3 Player 2 is powered by 2 AAA alkaline batteries that can be inserted and removed easily on the back of the player. With no AC support or rechargeable batteries the player will last about 10 hours before new batteries need to be purchased.
As the cheaper of the two solid state MP3 players in our roundup (the other is the Panasonic e.wear SV-SD50 we weren't expecting great things from the MP3 Player 2, but we were pleasantly surprised by what it had to offer. Overall the player is great for users who want basic functionality in an MP3 player in a relatively small and lightweight device. The player does seem a little on the plastic side and durability may be something to be wary of for users. At AU$249 the player is a good buy and with its expansion capabilities is an attractive option for MP3 beginners.
