Creative Technology Nomad Jukebox (32 MB) MP3 Player

Pros: Almost weightless, great MP3 sound, great size
Cons: Flimsy compartment covers; freezes when bumped, poor shuffle feature, poor FM reception

I bought this player because I was tired of carrying a bulky cassette player to the gym, and radio reception at the gym isn't too great (plus, I go to the gym in the morning when most radio stations are full of yakking DJs rather than music). I wanted...

Pros: FM tuner, amazing sound quality, voice recording, works with your SB live
Cons: Bulky and odd design, really made to work with the SB live card

Creative has its high industry brand name as being one of the best computer sound card makers, if not the best. When it came out with its MP3 player it got a lot of buzz, good buzz. The player is nothing less from the hype you’ve heard. The Nomad has...

Pros: Low price, 64mb, Equalizer, FM radio, Voice Recorder
Cons: Bad Headphones

The Creative Labs Nomad 64 is a great portable MP3 player! When looking to buy an MP3 player, I was looking to spend around $150. I looked at all the electronic stores and even on the web, but I could only find 32mb players for $150. I finally decided...

Pros: Shiny! Great sound. Versatile... SHINY!!!!
Cons: Long transfer times.

I was going to write a flaming review of the Nomad.

I was going to rip it up one side and down the other, and when I was finished, I was going to spit on the remains.


I'll explain. I got the box after waiting on backorder...

Pros: everything about it is great
Cons: I wished it had better headphones

I got this MP3 player as a gift, but I've since shared it with many people. I like the voice recording option, and I like the way it operates. It is very light, there hasn't been any problems with it thus far. I bought different stereo headphones...

Pros: When you first get your nomad, you will use it very often
Cons: After a few months or so, you won't use it anymore

This review is intended to show how buying a nomad can be a worthless investment.

Pros: Excellent, Many Features, Affordable
Cons: Semi-Slow Transfer of data.

I decided to purchase this product to be able to listen to portable music that was easier to carry than a CD player. I did some research and concluded that the Creative Nomad was the best product to buy. It can hold 64 megs of MP3 music (compact flash...

Pros: Great sound quality, light, and long battery life
Cons: Sometimes not dependable to transfer tracks correctly from hard-drive to the player

I received the Nomad64 as a gift so I can't say that I've been disappointed at all with it since I didn't have to pay for it. Overall, the installation of the software was easy and the click and select options of the software to install mp3s that I...

Pros: Great sound quality
Cons: none!

I waited a really long time for my Nomad. They were back odered in November, and I just received it a few days ago. It took such a long time because it is such a hot product! It has great features, including a built in FM radio, which is great.
...

Pros: Everything about it
Cons: Should have a remote control

All I have to say is that this is one of the best things I have ever bought. It comes in a very nice, complete package, and is one of the only players that has a built in 64 mb capacity and a 32 mb temporary, memory stick, that can be removed from the...

Pros: compact, fm radio and voice recorder
Cons: file transfer is slow and complicated

I have owned both a Lyra and a Nomad and I preferred the Nomad. They both have strong and weak points, which I'll summarize quickly, then go into greater detail.

Pros for Lyra:
Lyra lets you transfer files to the player a lot quicker and...

Pros: Amazing value for the money, great extra features.
Cons: Loading the player with songs can be time consuming.

My boyfriend bought me a Rio for my birthday, the old 32MB one. After reading the specs, I thought it might be worth it to return that one and upgrade to a 64MB because 32 holds only like 25 minutes of music. I began researching, and I was sold on the...

Pros: Best of its class. Small. FM tuner.
Cons: no win2k; tuner okay, software awful

Update: The Nomad software won't run in Windows 2000, and Creative has no intention of updating it. One guy claims that the Nomad's based on the Yepp, and a beta Yepp program will be able to communicate with your Nomad 64 in win2k.

Pros: FM-tuner, voice recorder
Cons: none

Very impressed with the features. Well worth it for the FM-tuner and the voice recorder. Tried out with only 64kbps encoded MP3, still sounded good. Nice base, and rechargable batts! Good sounding ear buds too. Snappy design. Drawbacks? Awkward base to...

Pros: looks
Cons: Price, Average sound quality

As I saw the Nomad on the screen saliva built up in my mouth. It was so wonderfully designed, it would be worth the $250 if I only used it as a paper weight.
I already had a RaveMP 2000, but I wanted the extra memory and I wanted to show off...
