Creative Technology Nomad Jukebox (10 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: 10 GB, USB2.0, Excellent sound reproduction, Price
Cons: Bulky and loss of recording options

Where was this model when I was looking at Hard Drive based MP3 players?! I was able to get this incredible deal for a friend on the web for $150! The thing is... the Jukebox 2 is mostly just a smaller hard drive version of the Jukebox 3! I almost...

Pros: Great Sound, Easy Navigation, Reliable
Cons: Less than advertised battery life. Major trouble with driver upgrade.

I was all set to buy a CD/MP3 player when I came across this unit (I’ll abbreviate it as JBII throughout this review). At the time (last November) it was $215 at buy.com with a $50 rebate so price wise it was very competitive with the iRiver and ...

Pros: Sound, capacity, user interface, flexibility, battery life, USB 2.0, attractive case, EAX.
Cons: Awful Creative firmware. Doesn't show up as removable harddrive. Needs driver installs on every computer.

Ok, after having used the NJB2 (Nomad JukeBox 2) for a little longer, I am forced to downgrade my review. My original review is given below as-is. I apologize to those who may have bought this jukebox based in part on my earlier review. The ...

Pros: Durable, easily upgraded, durable!!!!!
Cons: Size, standard "special features", batter life

Wow, Let me just say, this is BY FAR the best MP3 player I have owned out of, um, 4 questionable mp3 players. DURABILITY: I've had this player for 3 years now, and if that doesn't say something, then you should probably learn to read a little better. ...

Pros: Pretty unbeatable on price Most of the features you would need
Cons: Couple of quirks

** Please note some of the information below is quoted in UK pounds **

I have been the proud owner of a trusty Diamond Rio MP3 player for a couple of years now. It was an emerging technology when I originally bought it and since that time new...

Pros: Sound quality, interface, battery life, USB 2.0!!
Cons: Small display, finicky shuttle/jog control, larger than some players

This is the third MP3 player I have owned, and the second jukebox. I have to say that overall I am really happy with this player. You get a lot of features, and the price is reasonable. Sound quality is fantastic, although it could be a tad louder for ...

Pros: Stores many songs, recording capabilities, line-out, many features
Cons: short battery life, bulky compared with later models, long startup times

This is one of the earliest jukebox type MP3 players. Don't let the age put you off though. They're still worth picking up, especially since they can be found relatively cheap. With a 10 gig hard drive, hundreds of songs can be stored. This model ...

Pros: Rechargeable battery, massive storage, sound quality, and adding custom startup graphics
Cons: Playcenter 3, non-joggable, and a small scroll wheel

For the past two years I had a rca lyra 128mb mp3 player. I was happy with with it but i was getting sick of only being able to carry around 25 songs with me, so I decided to look into hard disk mp3 players. After searching through everything from the ...

Pros: Rock solid - Reliably works all the time! Big enough to store what I want.
Cons: Bulky, doesn't "save your place" and the fast forward isn't fast enough.

I have had this unit for some time now and I like it quite a bit. I don't use it as much as I once did since I got an mp3 player in my car but I still bring it with me when I go on a long trip in the van with the family or when I want to listen to ...

Pros: inexpensive, good quality, usb2.0 fast transfer speed.long lasting li-on battery, nice sound quality, removeable battery.
Cons: little large, navigaiton is slightly challenging, software is an absolute pain.

A 10 gigabyte mp3 player for $150?? How good is it? Hmmm let me see

When It arrived I was so pleased … the packaging is an absolute *****. It’s that molded plastic you have to cut away with a knife. Pry away …. Let my nomad...

Pros: Ease of use especially for those who know nothing about MP3 players
Cons: I only wish it were smaller.

I was shopping around for a player not knowing what I was doing. I had looked at a few players and could not make a decision. When I settled on the Nomad Jukebox 2 I really had no idea what I was doing.

The great thing that I found most...

Pros: Excellent sound quality and storage capacity, small and light. A neat toy!
Cons: Long learning curve, Really AWFUL bundled software.

This is the easily the neatest gadget I have ever owned! For my money, it is a major league bargain. ...

Pros: Great Sound, EAX,Street Style Headphone, Rechargable Batteires, Easy to Find Your Song
Cons: Battery tends to last less then 3 hours,can't fit in pocket,no sb1394 port

In this past weeks Best Buy ad I saw this nomad on sale after rebates for $100. I bought it even though I have like 10 mp3 players and a brand new mp3 cd player, but anyways I decided to buy this player. I am sure glad I did. The features on this blow...

Pros: Good amount of storage for the money.
Cons: PlayCenter software is quirky and won't play some songs correctly.

When I purchased the Jukebox, it had difficulty communicating with my computer. I contacted support and they made several suggestions. None of them worked. My USB 2.0 interface is a PCI card with 5 USB ports. I finally found by trial and error that I had...

Pros: Durable music. Great for road trips.
Cons: Too big to conveniently carry around.

Have been using it for over a year. Generally easy to use, pretty quick to load, and the sound quality is quite good. It does lock-up occasionally but all-in-all it is a terrific companion in the office, on the road or out on the deck. Its size do not...
