Creative MuVo TX FM
One of the more functionally useful designs for an MP3 player came from Creative’s MuVo line, which debuted in 2002. The tiny MP3 players were comprised of two parts: a larger section that can hold a AAA battery, and a smaller section with a screen and playback controls that serves as a removable USB flash drive. Even the iPod was saddled with iTunes, which was somehow one of the better media management apps required to use various MP3 players. But with the MuVo, users could simply detach the flash drive section to reveal a standard USB port that could be connected directly to a PC—no drivers needed—for copying over music files and other data files they simply needed to transport.
