Creative Labs Nomad II (64MB) MP3 Player

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: Compact, backlit, "no-swing" clip on wire for remote. Nice sound.
Cons: Configuration software and documentation could have been better.

I purchased the Creative Nomad II just after Christmas using some gift certificates for CompUSA.

I would never pay for a device this expensive with outright cash, but let's just say I am very glad I was able to pick this player up.
...

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...

Pros: sound quality, size
Cons: memory card instead of imbedded memory

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! ...

Pros: Cheap, powerful.
Cons: Cheapie.

GENERALLY:

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.

It works...

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...

Pros: sound, portability
Cons: sound-level, battery consumption

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...
