Creative Labs' MuVo is an excellent little MP3 player, but it's its versatility that we love most. Just shuck the battery case and you'll see it's also a USB-based storage stick, like the Agate Q or Sony Microvault. That means your computer views it like a floppy disk or hard drive, so no software is required to upload tunes (or PowerPoint presentations, for that matter). You just drag and drop the files.
Price: $129
