by gottleib , Jan 11 '04
Pros: Price (160 bucks), Capacity (20 gb), Thoughtful features.

01-11-04 Initial Review: Bought to use in my truck through aux jack on receiver (Connector avail at Wal-Mart $4.). Jukebox locked up first two times trying to play introduction. Some trouble getting software to work on win98 at first - kept saying ...

Linux users, look elsewhere

by carpenoctem , Jan 10 '03
Pros: None that I'm aware of.
Cons: Requires proprietary software to mount to USB port.
It's probably a nice unit if you use Windows, but Linux users are out of luck with this one. It doesn't mount as a drive on the USB port, requiring custom software instead. I did find a GTK program that will allow drag and drop operation. There is also...

Beware of the warranty!

by alfred1924 , Oct 12 '03
Pros: Great software
Cons: Lousy warranty
Creative MP3 jukeboxes sound like a great idea but they come with laughably brief warranties. Creative offers a three month warranty, but considering the high cost, that is unacceptable. Keep in mind that an MP3 jukebox is nothing more than a laptop hard ...

I took mine back for a refund

by ernesther , Nov 18 '02
Pros: Large Memory is big plus. Lots of cool features to adjust sound and customize playback
Cons: Once the storage begins to fill, the player malfunctions
I received my 20GB Jukebox for Christmas and within a month it started to act up. Originally, I was very impressed with all the features that allowed you customize the sound and the playback. But as the memory began to fill, I started to experience some...

I Must Be Missing Something....

by comarobro69 , May 12 '03
Pros: Easy Navigation, Huge Hard Drive, Smaller Than A CD Player
Cons: Sound Is Awful, Kind Of Heavy, Not Cheap
Don't you want a mp3 player that produces decent sound for a high price? Well this mp3 player has bad sound and just isn't for me. It has very bad bass, sound production, and it crackles a lot. Mabye mine is just desinfective with the sound output or...

Why all the excitement?

by jkloepping , Feb 04 '04
Pros: Reliability, sound
Cons: Size, weight, overall design clunky
There are already so many reviews on this product that I'll keep this one short. I read quite a few positive reviews before slapping down my money for the Creative Labs product, so I was disappointed to find that it didn't meet my high expectations. ...

Big Boy

by smudged , Dec 11 '02
Pros: Sturdy, Fast
Cons: Too big
This nomad is a good MP3 player I have had it for about 10 months and I have like 150 cds on it. It is sturdy and reliable but it is just too big. I bought it for about 300.00 and now I guess you can get it cheaper. It is rather easy to download music...

I fell for it ...

by anwarasw , Jul 03 '02
Pros: Large drive space, relatively easy to use, lots of features
Cons: Update caused firewire link to go down
Yusakugo has a very comprehensive review of the Nomad ... I don't know how much more I can expound on it, at least on the technical side of things.

I will venture to give you my $0.02 worth on my personal experience based on using it in...

Good Base for a Potentially Great Product

by clear_glass , Jun 30 '02
Pros: Big capacity, excellent sound, great battery life, rugged construction, Fast Firewire transfers
Cons: Difficult (proprietary) software, Not-yet-ready-for-primetime firmware, Needs to be reset often
I got my Nomad 3 directly from Creative Labs, $400, forgoing cheaper distributors to get quick delivery. I've had a good experience with the player, but the jukebox could be made greater if Creative Labs listens to its users and uses our experience to...

Nomad Jukebox 3 : Rave all night long with over 10 days of muzac!

by yusakugo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Jun 25 '02
Pros: 20-40GB Hard Drive, decent nagivations, Dual LiIon batteries, large LCD, much more
Cons: Expensive, size, navigation, other minor points.
Not to be outdone by the current offerings by Archos, Apple, and SonicBLUE, Creative has updated its vernable Nomad Jukebox series... and update them Creative did! Currently the third generation of Hard Drive based MP3 players, the Jukebox 3 is one of...

Good 2nd Gen Product.

by musikboy , Jul 26 '02
Pros: Quick menus, fast firewire txfr, long battery life, good sound.
Cons: no remote, no case, no spare batt, steep learning curve.
For me, it's been a long affair with this company and this product. I bought my first Nomad Jukebox back in Nov 2000 and have been hooked on portable music players ever since. I won't bore you with the history of the product but lets just say I was an...

Nomad's a great product, but could use better software

by socket41 , Apr 02 '03
Pros: 20Gb of storage, looks like a Discman from afar
Cons: Looks like a Discman from afar, software is bad
Background
I purchased a Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 (20Gb version) on a lark in late January of 2003. I had been planning on purchasing a hard-drive based jukebox for quite a long time, and was really just waiting for the opportunity. I have...

nomad goes the distance

by kevboy , Jun 10 '02
Pros: large amount of storage
Cons: bulky
If you are considering a large storage mp3 player than I would definitely recommend the nomad jukebox. With 20GB of space available the nomad is able to hold enough music for vacations, road trips, or to act as a hard drive to store your mp3 collection....

Despite the glitches, I love my jukebox!

by roselane , Apr 27 '03
Pros: storage capacity, sound, ease of navigation
Cons: freezes, overpriced accessories
I am in my car a good 12 hours a week, so I bought this jukebox to keep me company. I can create a long playlist and sit back and enjoy the drive. As someone who is not particularly computer savvy, I found the set-up to be relatively simple, although I...

Great In Many Ways

by phatso6 , Mar 16 '02
Pros: Holds an incredible amount of music!
Cons: Battery Life
This MP3 player has a crazy amount of space on it for whatever music you want to put on. Hold over 1000 songs! The program it comes with makes life easy for putting new songs onto it and also naming them is as simple as pie. (3.14) The quality of...
