Music on the run

Heya!

Oh gosh. My old gadget, the Creative MuVo V200. So brilliant, it has always served me well. No bugs, excellent battery time even with cheap budget AAA's. In short, an excellent music player.

V100
I bought it like three years ago, and it's still running fine. I remember once being incautious, trying to stick the plug into a car stereo. It fell in pieces on the car floor. I managed to pick the pieces together in my pocket, although I was sure my music player had reached it's funeral. So, as I'm addicted to music, I spent a spotstyver to get myself a new player instantly. Bought a similar (same 512MB space) player from a friend. Although only after a couple of hours I realized that the battery-usage of the V200 must be magic, _or_ this new player really shitty. I won't spit the manufacturer out loud, but I know that they've reach bankruptcy anyways (makes sense). Anyways, when I managed to put the tiny components together, watching the LED display light up, I feel like I'm halfway to heaven. So, I used plain adhesive tape around the stick, making it not 'split up' again. Ever since this day, about one and a half year ago, the player works perfectly again. So, there is really no need for me to change. However, I've decided to get a new one. Strangely, the V200 model seems discontinued. Furthermore, searching for '+muvo +v100' gives a lot more result. The difference seems to be the lack of FM radio support in the V100 model. I suppose Creative found out that the FM radio support wasn't a worthy feature. Instead, the - new - V100 sticks comes with up to 2GB. Gosh, the prices are really low aswell. So, today I'm ordering a black V100 (2GB) stick. Can't wait to hold it..
