The Nomad II MG is Creative Lab's top of the line MP3 player. Based on features and specifications, this mp3 player came out on top when I recently decided to purchase a mp3 player. Key features and specifications...
Pros: Very portable, great sound, plugs into other media easily, good software. Cons: 64 MB isn't enough for a teenager, adding memory card is confusing.
Every time we get into the car for even a short trip, my teenage daughter has toted her portable CD player and at least a dozen CDs in a cumbersome case.
One of the main things she begged for at Christmas was an MP3 player -- a gadget neither...
Pros: Stylish, Average price for MP3 player, expandable, FM tuner, voice recording Cons: Poor headphones, other MP3 options available, expensive to expand memory
With epinions now finishing a merger with Dealtime... many of the products I wrote reviews on got placed into the same catagory even though they were different products... since the II MG was the stylized version of the II, epinions thought to merger all...
Pros: Cheap ($129), Expandable, Upgradable, voice recording, good sound quality Cons: Only can buy from Creative web site, lack of extras
In an effort to gather the low end market, Creative released the Nomad IIc player... a low cost $129 player available only at the Creative web store. You get 32 MB of onboard flash memory and the ability to add SmartMedia cards to expand it. That...
Pros: Competitive price, FM tuner, voice recording
Cons: Costs to expand memory, limited range microphone, no inline remote
This is you mission should you choose to accept it.
Mission Objective: The MP3 music format is the wave of the future in portable audio. You are charged with field testing a device for carrying these important data files from your home...
Pros: plays MPS, Radio, Record Voice, excellent support from Manufacturer Cons: Accessing Smart Media Card, Price of SmartMedia card still too high,
Before I say anything, I should let you know I am relatively new to this Digitally formatted music called MP3. I thought MP3 would be like one of those technology that just appear and disappear like DAP, but after discovering Napster(even though it's in...
Pros: great sound, compact Cons: Pricey, headset, case
I did a lot of research before purchasing this MP3 Player. I even owned the Rio 500 for a little while. I do believe that this is the best of the lot, however, there are still some improvements that would make it better.
Pros: High capacity, FM radio, great screen, WMA support, includes a remote control, uses standard SmartMedia format. Cons: The headphones are the radio antenna, 64MB can be limiting, and backphones are just weird. Also it's a little pricey.
When I “lost” my Diamond Rio 300, I began shopping for a new MP3 player. I decided on the Nomad II by Creative. Needless to say, I’m quite pleased with it, so much so that when I found my lost Rio it was quickly set aside in favor of its newer...
Pros: Very portable, easy to use, great sound, nice extras. Cons: The price tag.
On treks through hostile environments, it is always easier to travel with a companion. Mountain climbers choose sherpas to lead them through the rocky areas of the Himalayas. Bedouins use camels to help them survive their travels through the barren...
Pros: Great sound, sleek design. Cons: Headphones, need better buttons
I purchased this MP3 player purely on an impulse through a deal from Emusic.com. They were giving out a free Nomad II player for purchasing $50 worth of MP3s. The player comes with a 32 meg memory card and features FM radio with presets, a voice...
Pros: Lightweight, compact,intuitive controls Cons: no onboard memory, smart cards are spendy
I also received this item as part of a promo and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the item. There was a slight delay due to production problems but the final product surpassed my expectation.
Pros: Sexy, convenience of cradle, long battery life, extra smartmedia slot Cons: flimsy, no remote, cradle too big to lug around
Being a previous owner of a Nomad II and having owned the new MG for approximately two months now, I think I'll want to share with you guys how the two compare.
The Pro's of the MG...Well, let's just say, compared to the Nomad II, it's a whole...
Pros: sound, size, coolness factor, expandability Cons: out of the box issues
For my birthday, my wife went out to the Wiz and bought what she was told was an MP3 player. It turned out to be a Sony MiniDisk 70DPC. After doing some reserach, I returned that to the store (they overcharged, the 70DPC is an old model, blah blah...
Pros: Excellent features and sound quality Cons: Umm.... The radio doesn't have perfect reception.
Why I purchased the Nomad II MG:
I bought a Nomad II about 3 months ago and when I noticed the MG was coming out soon I decided to take a look at the features. I loved the EAX Timescaling and the radio recording capabilities. I immediately...
At first thought, I didn't want to purchase an MP3 player, considering that the cost was relatively the same as an MD player. However, after hearing about a really good price for this MP3 player, "what the heck", I decided, and I...
Creative Labs Nomad II MG is an all-around top-notch MP3 player. Seemingly the exact opposite of Sony's Network Walkman NW-E3 (see my scathing indictment) this player is iffy on the hardware side but close to perfect in terms of software.
Pros: Great features with a stylish look, runs 8 hours on one single AA battery! Great software too. Cons: Limited memory like all Mp3 players, no AM tuner, not fast but mediocre xfer speed from USB.
Creative Labs, known better for its speakers, video cards, audio cards and other multimedia computer components created an awesome dynasty line of mp3 players from the original Nomad to the Jukebox which can store 5 gigs of songs. Some wonder why people...
Pros: Small, Funky, Delicious. Cons: Random play? What?
I bought my Creative Labs Nomad II MP3 player when they first hit the shelves way back in March/2000. I think I paid about $350 for it. Boy was that a good buy.
This think rocks the house. Don't even try to compare it to a Rio or a Yepp or...
Pros: Solid performance with good features at an attractive price Cons: Poor headphones, merely functional software, cumbersome tuning, no AM Radio
I just purchased the Nomad II a few days ago and I am pleased, almost perfectly pleased with its performance. I evaluated several competing products and I was impressed with the level of features not to mention the price. The standout features include,...
Pros: Portability,great sound,extra features,easy to use. Cons: Headphones could be more comfortable
What did I know about MP3 Players? The concept of literally opening up the music world with access to virtually any type of music was and still is exciting.I took this experience one step at a time. First how would I access MP3 music files? Then once I...
Pros: Many features for a MP3 player, small, and only uses 1 AA battery. Cons: Misleading for firmware support, no internal memory, does not support 128 mb Smartmedia cards yet
Introduction:
The Creative Labs Nomad II is my first MP3 player that I have ever bought. I have done extensive resarch on MP3 players and the bottom line is that everything comes down to price and features. My budget for a MP3 player was...
Pros: Plays louder than Nomad II, better FM reception. Cons: No belt clip or useful case, dumb button design, sadistic headphones
I had a Nomad II 64 which I liked very much but broke. Assuming the MG, which costs about $80 bucks would be better, I purchased it as a replacement. Unfortunately, the MG is much more poorly designed, seems more fragile, and is less functional. ...
Pros: Small, good sound Cons: Clip isn't very secure
I just purchased the Creative Labs Nomad II and I must say I am very impressed with it. First, it comes with a lot of great things. A nice set of headphones, good installation CD’s, 1 AA battery, and the USB cable, and decent (not great) software for...
Pros: It's just the best out there Cons: Out of Stock in most dealers
Whenever I plan on buying anything from games to toys to electronics, I always search for the best! It took me a couple of days researching for a good mp3 player and at last, I found it! Just by looks alone, you will know that Nomad II mg is worth the...
Pros: Small Size, Great Looks, Great Sound Quality, Nice Features Cons: No Downloading to Your PC, Flaky Manager Software
The Nomad II is my second MP3 player. The first being a 96MB eGo from MyAudio2Go.com. I've reviewed the eGo in another epinion, and even after owning it for many months, I still think it's one of the premiere MP3 players available.
Pros: Everything but storage Cons: Storage only 32 megs
The Nomad II is definitely on top of the MP3 portable player world. It has the most features and is the only one I know of so far that can play MP3's tagged with the ID3v2 format. It is the only MP3 player that is compatible with every single major MP3...
Pros: FM tuner and voice recording. Great sound and looks too Cons: Carry the cradle.
The Creative Labs Nomad II MG mp3 player is the most amazing product I have bought in a long time. I am surprised I like this unit as much as I do, but I did my home work and it’s featured matched my needs perfectly. My mama always told me, if it’s...
Pros: Great quality sound, Style/design is amazing, Ready out of the box WMA format, Voice recording Cons: Included headphones are junk
The Nomad II MG:
Top of the line MP3 Player/Audio Recorder with FM Functionality.
Why?
Creative Labs has been making audio devices for a long time, and their care in the quality of their products shows. I bought this player off an...
Pros: Very light, easy to use controls, good for Macs and Microsoft,CHEAP!! Cons: have to stop music to change contrast of your screen and backlight
I have had a grudge with MP3 players in the past but that was before I found the Nomad. This baby is one great performer. It has great responsiveness with iTunes. When you connect your player via USB, iTunes will display it on screen within a couple...
Pros: MP3s rule; Diminutive Size, upgradability, volume Cons: Time spent loading music; FM mediocre; battery life
First of all, I didn't buy this product, I got it free. An internet music site provided it free with a $50 purchase. Good deal. The only catch was that it came with 32mb, not 64 mb, memory.
My experience with the Nomad has been great. its a...
Pros: digital music(compact, doesnt skip, free music) Cons: it gets expensive; 32mb=$169 64mb=$249
Smaller than the portable CD players--and smaller yet than the MD (MiniDisc) players--MP3 players have all the makings of becoming the portable digital audio devices of the Internet age. Creative Technologies has introduced its MP3 player, the...
Pros: USB, lots of features, small size Cons: poor battery life,
My History with the Nomad II:
I finally settled on a Nomad II after months of debating between Minidisc vs mp3. In the end, I concluded that the form factor, convenience and solid state ruggedness of mp3 players outweighed the versatility and...
Pros: FM Radio Tuner, Low Price, Easy to use. Cons: Tuner reception is weak, needs more built in memory.
After some diligent research, I bought the Nomad II to connect with my Macintosh computer. I was also looking at the Mac compatible Rio 800 from Sonic Blue and the Nomad II MG. The Rio has the looks and is very easy to use, but I ended up ruling it out...
Pros: small, lightweight, remote, LCD display, USB Cons: remote lacks a few extra functions, pricey
I just bought the Nomad II last night and I found it to be a wonderful product, Creative has truly out done themselves this time with this unit. I was lucky enough to get the blue color version of the Nomad II which I believe looks better than the silver...
Let me begin with the product description. I bought it off of Amazon.com off a recommendation of a friend. I read some reviews and it looked like a great product. Some specifics:
*64MB of memory...good for an hour's worth of music
...
Pros: USB, Upgradable Firmware, Good Headphones, Tasty LCD Screen, Voice Recording & FM Radio Cons: EXPENSIVE, unless you have some media cards already
The Nomad II is still on top of the industry-first FM receiver and voice recorder included with this expensive toy. Although the first nomad was nice, the sequel machine is a bit more pretty looking, and still small (65 by 93 by 21 mm). It still won't...
Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing , well , mabe the price
The best way to sum up this player is with three simple words .
I LOVE IT !
It's perfect , conbinding the right about of coolness and stye to cre8 the best thing you can carry around in your front/back pocket/bag/black pouch that...
When Diamond Multimedia came up with the idea of taking MP3s from the computer to portable devices, they had a winner on their hands. You can tell how outstanding the idea was by the number of imitators the Rio has. While the origins of the Nomad II...
Pros: Light, intuitive interface, MP3 + Voice Recording + Radio Cons: Expensive, sometimes freezes while playing
I started out looking for an IC Voice Recorder. There were a lot on offer, but I wanted to be able to upload my voice files to my PC when I was done. Prices for such devices (that had the PC upload capability) started at around $200. Then I discovered...
Pros: Amazing packaging, functionality and robustness. Great sound and features. Easily extensible, cheap memory. Cons: Dreadful headphones.
I bought the Nomad II MG a week ago, after EXTENSIVE research. I read everything on the web and in print, and tried out over a half-dozen in the stores. The II MG wasn't the cheapest, but it seemed to me to offer the best value.
Pros: Awesome sound, Lightweight, Excellent behind-the-head style headphones, USB interface makes connecting to your computer simple and downloading fast, Intuitive software, Supports numerous digital-audio formats... Cons: No onboard memory, Simple software could be more robust, Navigating the LCD menu can be a pain...
Dubbed a Personal Digital Entertainment (PDE) device by Creative Labs, the Nomad II is one of those gadgets that's so fun to play with you'll find yourself forgetting it's useful, too.
When portable MP3 players first hit the market a year or...
Pros: small, light, good sound, full featured (FM, voice memo). Cons: software could need additional work,
I received my Nomad II (w/ 32 MB) via promotion through emusic.com. It was my first portable MP3 player, and my first impressions of the player (and the technology in general) were quite positive.
Pros: Large display, price vs. memory, FM tuner, upgradeable OS Cons: Operability, portability, 64 Mb max, touchy controls, weak FM reception
The Nomad II is my fourth MP3 player. I also own a Nomad Jukebox (at work, hotel rooms on business trips, in the car on long trips), Casio WMP Wrist Audio (when "stealth" and portability are required) and a Iomega HipZip (nearly all of the time). The...
Pros: Small, lightweight, great sound, large capacity Cons: Small LCD display, software
There has been much debate about the design of the Nomad II MG. When I went about purchasing an MP3 player, I did a lot of research, ruling out the ugly design of the Sony "stick" player, the recording-less Rio 500, and the lack of memory of...
Form
A little smaller than a pack of cigs, sporting a metallic finish, Creative Lab’s Nomad MG II does get looks. A stylish, circular LCD screen displays useful info, volume, ID3 tags embedded in your mp3 files.
Pros: Great MP3 player, belt clip included Cons: FM reception is poor, could be louder
I've owned the Nomad II for 6 months now. It has completely transformed my music habits.
I used a Sony Walkman prior to the Nomad. I had about 10 tapes laying around with songs on them. It's all gone now. I love the convenience of deleting...
Why?
I purchased the Creative Nomad II (http://www.nomadworld.com) after looking at many other portable, digital music players from companies big and small. I looked into hard-drive based devices, new cd portable cd players that could play...
Pros: Small, well designed, looks good. Cons: 64 megabytes is only that much.
In all honesty, Creative should give me my own personal web page. I deserve it, considering how much money I've given them. I had both the Nomad I, but after a freak accident, it was damaged. Soon after that, I purchased the Nomad II, with great...
Pros: Long List of Features Cons: Frequent Lock UP
This player sports an impressive list of features on paper that are all underwhelming in use. The playlist's inability to support long filenames and the horrible reception of the FM tuner are the main reasons I returned my unit.
Pros: Excellent sound quality and volume, portable, lots of memory Cons: Poor documentation, headphones, spotty FM reception
In the effort of making my new commute more bearable, I decided to get a Portable MP3 player. I have tried a couple already, including the Archos 20GB jukebox (horrid, see my epinion), the Rio 800 (would have been nice if it WORKED, again, see my...
Pros: Good sound, logical controls, nice headphone-cord remote control, includes FM and voice recording Cons: No built-in memory
I tried the RaveMP 2100 64 Mbyte portable MP3 player first, then returned it for the Nomad II (more money) because I couldn't get the RaveMP parallel port interface software to work. So I can best describe the Nomad II by comparing it to the RaveMP 2100....
Pros: best product from creative yet Cons: cant think of any
The NOMAD II digital mp3 player / voice recorder by Creative Labs is one of the best devices of its kind. It is lightweight, small, has an intuitive interface,and the sound quality is in my opinion very good. Its only rival is perhaps the Rio 500 by...
Pros: Intuitive features, FM Tuner, USB Cons: Disappointing Sound, expensive
I bought the Nomad II from Amazon after doing my due diligence at CNET and other online "authorities". I also checked message boards and was very confident at my decision. I was especially excited about the FM tuner which no other MP3 player...
Pros: Software=Good Cons: Nothing specifically wrong with it
I should begin this review by saying that I am highly skeptical about the current state of portable MP3 players in general, having personally tried 3 before settling for this product (see my reviews of Sony's Network Walkman (nw-e3) and the Nomad II MG)....
Pros: FM tuner, ease of use, EQ settings, great price for the features Cons: slow USB transfer rate, supplied memory is flash (not internal) making it hard to upgrade
The Nomad II made by Creative Labs, has a lot going for it. First off, its sleek, looks good, and the size sure beats that of your old CD player you used to jam in your pocket wherever you went just to hear that tune you loved. Straight out of the box...
Pros: Sound Quality... Ease of use. Cons: Headphones, Lack of internal memory.
A few months ago, emusic.com had a promotion in which they gave away a Nomad II for free, with the purchase of $50 in music. No need to say, the promotion was over much faster then emusic imagined and I was lucky enough to pick up on of the last...
Pros: Small, attractive, great features, good performance. Cons: Poor button placement, badly designed carrying case cover.
When I first started researching MP3 players, i was looking primarily at 5 things: features, design/style, size, price, ease of use/performance. I can't really imagine what else one would be looking for in an MP3 player outside of this, so i will go...
Pros: Great sound, does what it's supposed to do, stylish Cons: Headphones are garbage, pricey, should come standard with the optional remote, upgrades are expensive
The North American version of this product does not come with a remote. The European version one does. Creative Labs now offers a new remote that surpasses the capabilities of the one that comes with the Europe version of this product. The version...
Pros: Small, Efficient, Quality sound, Easy to use, stylish! Cons: Cant load many songs,Not equipped with headphones, No rechargable bat.,loose clip belt
I was looking for a basic player to take to the rec center, and that's exactly what I got.
Right out of the box I was loading songs with no problem. The software was very intuitive - though I did have to refer to the online manual to figure...
Pros: Size, Features, Flexible Memory Configurations Cons: Small button size on some controls
The Nomad II perfectly fit my portable digital entertainment requirements when my Sports Walkman gave in after 6 years of faithful use. I've used it frequently during the last month and carry it mostly for running, rollerblading, and trips to the gym....
Pros: Great sound and features Cons: No on-board memory
I mulled over making this purchase for months and now that I've done it, received it and used for over 6 months I have to say that I am perfectly satisfied.
Let me take a moment to dispel some of the myths about this product (stated by other...
Pros: Stylish, Easily Expandable, High Quality Sound, Good Battery Life Cons: Buttons can be hit mistakenly, headphones stink, creative drivers are notorius
The Nomad II MG comes with 64MB of onboard memory. There is also a SmartMedia memory slot, so you can put those cards in there in order to get more memory. Currently, 128 MB SmartMedia cards are available for around $40 (I suggest www.newegg.com).
...
Pros: Memory expandable to 128 MB Cons: Horrid, non-ergonomic design
I purchased this product a few days ago, and am returning it. I chose the Nomad II MG over the Nomad II for the ability to expand to 128 MB of memory (the Nomad II has no expansion slot). However, the poor ergonomic design makes it relatively unusable...
Pros: Great Little Device Cons: CDAC doesn't work after you install something else
The Nomad II is excellent as a hardware device but the reliability of the software leaves much to be desired. Before I turn this Epinion into a straight rant about how all software moguls are evil, let me give some vital statistics about this...
Pros: Good Sound, Great Headphones Cons: Weak Battery Life and Weak FM Performance
Purchased the product at two places. First the bare unit (Nomad II 0MB) with no memory for $99 at www.ecost.com. The memory card (64MB Smartmedia Card) for $130 including shipping at www.buy.com. Total about $245.
Pros: attractive, light, usb, fm radio, headphone remote Cons: battery cover, no internal memory, bad os/controls
This is the second mp3 player I've owned (the first being the diamond rio300). Of course this one beats the old rio on pure specs, it actually isn't so great. The best parts about it are as follows: the headphone remote, the fm radio, supports...
Pros: Good Sound Quality,Portable,ect Cons: Somewhat Expensive
Well lately there has been an abundence of MP3 players so choosing the right mp3 player for you is critical. Some MP3 players are inexpensive but they don't have the storage space that some people desire. While others have a great deal of storage but are...
Pros: Low battery drainage, durable, nice sound quality, 64 MBs, radio tuner! Cons: Buggy software, rechargeable battery would have been nice..
Maybe I'm just saying this cause I got a great deal on this player, but its damn good.
Its incredibly durable, the headphones have survived being in my backpack for 3 months, and the mp3 player in my pocket for 3 months. No wear and tear...
Pros: Sleek Cons: Poor naming system. Not enough characters.
The Nomad is sleek and equally as important is ever so light. The newest features on Mp3 players is FM radio. The Nomad had this function and can store up to 32-preset FM stations, thus expanding its excellent use.
The Nomad takes over from Minidisc...
Pros: Sleek Design, EAX, Supports Firmware Upgrades, Voice Recording, FM, Memory Expandable to 192 MB Cons: Inconvinient location of buttons, No Belt Clip, Poor Accessories
The NOMAD II MG came out in summer of 2000. It now costs only about $235 (from buy.com) and it is indeed worth the money. The sound quality is superb! On downloading the latest firmware, it supports multiple audio formats (WMA and MP3). It also has voice...
Pros: FM tuner Cons: No built in memory , too litle memory, poor sound, does not display full song name, bad software,
Dont Get me wrong The Nomad Mp3 player is a great player but my opinion is that there is no competiton for the Diamond Rio 500. The Nomad does not have built in memory and the most megabytes of storage that you can have in the Nomad at once is 64mb....
Pros: Great Software, FM Radio, Sleek Design Cons: High Price of player and of flash memory cards
This product is amazing. I was looking for an mp3 player, and I came upon this one, and the moment I saw that it had an FM radio on it... I was instantly hooked. The sound quality is amazing, with adjustable sound profiles (pop, jazz, rock, classical,...
Pros: Feature packed and easy to live with. Cons: A little expensive - but worth it!
After doing extensive research on MP3 players I purchased the RIO 600 - after 3 days, it started to lock-up and the backlight stopped working. After returning the RIO - I found the Nomad II at a local retailer - what a difference! Plus you can't beat...
Pros: Same as original with all flawed features fixed, great quality, great product Cons: Way too expensive, extremely overpriced
A few weeks ago, I posted a review of the original Nomad 64MB mp3 player, praising its features and quality, but pointing out a number of crucial design flaws that seemed to be easily fixable. Well, it looks like instead of fixing the flaws in the...
Pros: Compact, good voice recording, good playback, looks sharp. Cons: Smartmedia card, difficult to insert/remove, software lacking, no external microphone jack.
This is the second purchase in my search for a good digital voice recorder. The Nomad II (w/64MB Smartmedia card) comes close to what I want. It records lectures pretty well, especially considering the pinhole sized mic inconveniently located in the...
Pros: Space that does not fill up quickly Cons: Not as much space as a few
I was looking for a basic player to take to the rec center, and that's exactly what I got.
Right out of the box I was loading songs with no problem. The software was very intuitive - though I did have to refer to the online manual to figure...
I do not actually own this product, but I have used my friends extensively and learned a great deal about mp3 music. First of all, 32mb is definatly not enough in a portable digital music file. With 32mb you can hold 5 or 6 songs, but with 64mb you can...
Pros: Small, lightweight, includes a radio and a docking station. Cons: fragile, poorly-manufactured, locks-up on bad MP3's, cheap headphones
I purchased the Nomad II MG about a year ago. The headphones included with the package are cheap and I needed to buy new ones since the amplification was poor.
At first, I enjoyed the Nomad II MG, but over time I noticed problems. The package...
Pros: A small unit which is easy to control and has great features! Cons: Memory is limited to 64MB with some models and some models can optionally take 128MB
Use it in the Car, bus, train...
I've beaten my Nomad and it still works...
I had it repaired once because I used the wrong BIOS upgrade, but Creative fixed it in 3 weeks!
I recommend this unit to anyone looking for portable music!
...
I really really really did my homework on MP3 players before I got this one. This was the only MP3 players that I could find with a 64MB internal memory plus 128MB slot at the time for as little as it cost.
Pros: Great sound, smart design Cons: Poor FM reception, weak software
I have owned both a Nomad II and a Nomad II MG, and I am happy to report that this is one of the rare instances when a company’s less expensive product is better.
The MG has some useful features, but check my review under that product for my...
Pros: Intuitive, Upgradable, Lightweight Cons: Only holds 70 mins of music at a time
The Creative Labs Nomad II portable MP3 player was given to me as a gift recently. I was researching the mp3 products on the market and had narrowed it down to two, this being one of them. I am very satisfied with this product. It's intuitive, great...
Great player with some siginificant problems.
I checked out various MP3 portable players and decided on the Nomad II MG
because it had a good range of performance and options (inc. future upgrades possibilities). The FM tuner was also very...
I think this MP3 player is excellent. This MP3 player has enough memory for all your songs and is small, portable and comes with an excellent docking station. It looks very retro and stylish and something you would be proud to wear in your back pocket....
Pros: Size, Weight, FM Tuner. Online software upgrades. Cons: No onboard memory. Memory cards are very expensive.
When I researched the mp3 players I was looking for two primary features compact size and a FM tuner. The Nomad has them both and so much more. Having owned the Creative Nomad II for just over 6months I’m very happy with its operation.
When I thought of buying an Mp3 player, I had to do some research and look at different players. Afetr looking carefully I had discovered that the Creative Labs Nomad II MG was the best thing to get. compared to other players this was the top of the...
Pros: lot of extra features Cons: no pink and blue version
if you are in the market for an MP3 player and are considering the Rio 500 THEN THINK AGAIN! Diamond Multimedia's Rio was the first MP3 player but it is far from the best. The Nomad to has more features at a similar price.
Pros: small, lightweight, great sound, USB port, supports many formats Cons: No onboard memory
Average software
LCD menu isn't the best
The Nomad II is a slick looking device. And sleek. It is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. The Nomad II introduces two major features that are quite new in the world of MP3 devices.
1. The in-built FM tuner, which stores 32 radio stations...
Pros: small size, stylish appearance, mac compatible Cons: awkward button placement, no remote, poor construction
Overall, this is a nice MP3 player, and I've made good use of it for the couple months I've owned it. On the plus side, it's small, light-weight, and stylish. Also: the supplied Mac software works great (there is also Windows software), and the...
Pros: USB port, 64 MB memory, Voice Recorder, FM Tuner, Wired Remote, Compact design, Great Headphones included Cons: No warranty
The Nomad II from Creative Labs is a sleek, compact player which has great sound quality and downloads music quickly. After researching MP3 players, I decided this was the best one. 64 MB of removable memory can store one to three hours of music,...
Pros: Great sound, good quality unit Cons: Software is terrible
This unit is a hot-rod among MP3 players. Too bad the software doesn't keep up.
The good: good sound, easy to use. Solidly built. I've had this unit for a year and it's been a very solid performer. I've used it, dropped it, erased, changed...
Pros: FM Radio, nice little package, good quality, nice sound Cons: Software, recording from radio not great and battery life not good.
I spent a lot of time researching all MP3 players and finally went with the NOMAD II MG. It is a stylish little thing. The LCD display is a little small and the controls a little difficult to get used to.
Pros: Sleek Design, Compact Size, Numerous Features Cons: Price, Poorly Designed Carrying Case, Difficult to Access Buttons with Case On
One thing that I like about mp3 players is that you can store your favorite songs on them until you get bored of those songs, then you delete them and replace them with your newest favorite songs. The reason I decided to buy an mp3 player was that I...
Pros: Small, FM tuner, microphone Cons: Battery eater, short headphone cord
I've had my Nomad II for about 2 months now and I still love it. I originally had the Sony Music Clip but I returned it because of the freaky copy protection software (won't let you backup your collection). The Nomad II is a great little player and the...
Pros: Great battery life, line out feature, radio Cons: Cost, remote
This product is loaded with features, and is ultra-compact. It can hold around 13-15 of your favorite MP3 music files, which can be easily uploaded via a USB port. This player also has a built in digital FM radio, which comes in handy on longer trips....
Pros: No fear of obsolescence Cons: Batteries last in the 7-10hr range (estimate)
Before purchasing, I examined available information on a variety of products, including opinions written here. I decided on the Nomad 2 for two reasons: support of open architecture and of current/future digital music standards. Unlike other products,...
Pros: Good Player for price Cons: Need to get more memory,
I purchsed my Nomad back in December, and was supprised to see that they are still very close in price to what I paid for mine. I use this MP3 Player every day, and have never had a problem with it.
Pros: Small and sleek, great sound, built in 64MB and expandable to 128MB Smart Media. Cons: Needs bass options.
The Nomad II MG is very small and thin. Its just about the length of my pointer finger and is just as thick as an ordinary size pen. That is small and packed with a built in 64MB of memory, radio tuner, and an expansion slot for Smart Media up to 128MB....
Pros: Small, sleek and tough casing Cons: Very easy to erase songs by accident
When you open the box to the nomad, the first words out of your mouth is "whoooooo." It is definitely sleek and with the metal casing, stands out on looks along. It is smaller than it looks in pictures which was a little surprising.

THIS MP3 PLAYER IS RATED BY CONSUMER REPORTS AS #1 ALL AROUND . BUT THAT ONLY COMPARING TO OTHER MP3 PLAYERS THAT ARE NOT SO NEW. I PURCHASED THIS MP3 PLAYER LOOKING TO USE IT IN THE GYM. IT HAS GREAT...
Pros: convenient, good sound, light weight, lots of listening time for 1 battery Cons: not as much space as I wanted. earphones are annoying.
Ok I bought this mp3 player exactly 1 year ago. I did a lot of research on mp3 players at the time since it was a relatively new item on the market. I bought this one because it was reasonably priced for what it offered. My friend had a sony mp3 player...
Pros: It is very small and very easy to operate. It's software is quite user friendly. Cons: Creative Labs included a set of headphones that I did not care for.
When I was shopping for my first MP3 player, I was horrified to read some of the reviews. Many people seem to only review their dislikes. After I bought it, I suffered buyer's remorse until it arrived in the mail.
Pros: Small, Slim, light, FM Radio, Voice Recording, Expandable Slot Cons: Buttons are poorly placed, batery life
I purchased my Creative Nomad II MG, for the most part I am very happy with it. I have read other reviews and I have noticed that mine is the only one that came with a remote control. And also 2 headphones. I bought mine in Hong Kong while I was on...
Pros: Easy to use. MP3, FM radio and voice recorder capabilities. Cons: uses expensive smartmedia so multiple cards becomes difficult
I have no major complaints with this player and the features are great. FM reception could be a little better, but nothing to stop you from getting it. Screen is backlit for easy use at night. Headphone volume control stopped working, but there's no...
Pros: small, 64mb memory, smartmedia expansion slot, rechargable batteries Cons: reception on FM receiver, pouch
The Nomad II MG is a great player with 64mb of memory. The player is able to player MP3 and WMA files. The firmware has the ability to be updated for future file formates. This feature of upgradability is great. The MG has a Smartmedia slot so you can...
Pros: This little mp3 player is great. Awesome sound features and much more!! Also well made. Cons: Headphones that come with it aren't that great, and the case doesn't protect the screen.
This mp3 player is the best piece of electronic equipment i have bought in a long time! It has fm radio, fm radio recording, voice recording, and can fit about 33 4-5 min songs on the 64mb of memory that comes in it(that is with WMA format though, which...
This product will really blow you away. I mean just look at the designs on the mp3 and you can see the menu screen and all of its buttons on its body. I will assure you that this product is one of the best there is in the mp3 compnay so far. It seems...
The Nomad 2 MG is the best mp3 player out there. It is tiny yet so practical. The usb connection is super fast. I like how it supports long file names because not all of my mp3s have id3 tags. the casing is metal so it is not too fragile. I love the...
Pros: compact size, good features, and easy to use. Cons: Poor headphones
This is a great product. The added feature of FM is a great plus, something other players don't have. With the price of smart media going down that makes this player an even better value. This player works great with Music Match software which is a...
Pros: Small. Cons: Only 1 hour of music. Battery life is way 2 small.
The Nomad II is a pretty well made MP3 player.
Pros -Very Small -Very light -Easy to use software -Sound is very good -Radio Gets fairly good reception -Sending files to the Nomad II only takes about 10secs (3MB) -Backlight is very bright...
I purchased Nomad II after reading good reviews of the products. The MP3 player may be good -- I'll never know --
but trying to load it was a nightmare. I have XP with a new hard drive, Sony computer. There is no manual included in the kit but a...
Pros: fits in hand, long battery life, easy to use Cons: customer service
this product was really easy to use. i enjoyed waking up in the morning and being able to listen to about 25 songs and how it fits in to your pocket. The sound of it is pretty good and the ease of use is really easy. Also, you can use it as a recorder...
Pros: Everything Cons: Doesn't work with COMPAQ Computers
So- why did I buy this? Well- I have 59 songs on my PC and well, to be honest- I didn't wanna carry my laptop with me everywhere, so I researched MP3 Players- hmmm, Nomad II looks cool, I heard good stuff about it, so...I got it. Well, its really cool,...
Pros: Rechargeable battery, sleek design, expandable memory; voice recorder, and FM radio. Cons: Price
I just got my Nomad II MG yesterday, and WOW am I amazed how much better it is than my old Rio 500. It sounds GREAT, with my Sony earphones at least. A bit hefty on the price tag, but it is worth it. I have one problem with the software. It wont allow me...
Pros: Small, lightweight, can take 128 smartmedia cards, voice recording Cons: hard-to-open USB port, FM reception is pretty weak, need to get a better case
I searched for almost TWO MONTHS to pick the right mp3 player. I would highly recommend the nomad II. I use it for heavy long distance running, i have a 64 mb smartmedia card and i'll be getting a 128 soon for only 50$. Voice recording is great for...
I got this to use for running and love it! Holds tons of music - I put about 5 full cd's on it. I also use the voice recording feature to record my class notes for law school for studying for exams.
I used this for running... by mav63_dt3000 ,Nov 14 '02
I used this for running but unless you completely stop to adjust volume or use the "too long for comfort remote volume," you'll break the fragile microswitches. All of the switches have broken on my model. Volume, record, etc.
