Pros: Great technology, sleek design, great software, easy to use interface; fast USB transfer.
Cons: HD can be a bit loud; slow to shut-down and power-up.

I just purchased my Creative Nomad Jukebox through EBay a few days ago for $155 including priority mail shipping. This was a great deal. The product was brand new with warranty. When I opened the box, I was very impressed. It looked like...

Pros: Great Storage and good sound
Cons: $$$$$

I bought this product for a friend. My friend loves music so much they spend an inordinate amount of time downloading song after song from the net. Yes it is an important friend and yes it was relatively expen$ive. But my friends and their happiness are...

Pros: Storage capacity, easy controls
Cons: Slow transfers, slightly crippled Mac software

[Original opinion written September 2000; added comments 3/27/01]

I just bought my Jukebox a few hours ago, and I've been playing with it all evening. The controls are very intuitive; I managed to figure out all the functionality within a few...

Pros: Superb machine; so easy to use
Cons: Battery life may be a problem

It’s surprising when and where it is useful (even necessary) to have access to music. My daughter wants to listen to the latest beat whenever she jogs or grooves with her friends; my son alternates between the favourite album and a good book when on a...

Pros: 6 GB of storage
Cons: way too many problems for the price.

Although the idea of having 6 GB of storage is fantastic, this product just hasn't been perfected at all yet. Very buggy in fact. And considering the price that Creative Labs puts on this product, you would think that it has been *so* refined and...

Pros: Huge amounts of storage, fast and easy to transfer music, excellent sound
Cons: long startup time, hard to navigate menus

I got the Nomad Jukebox (NJB) for Christmas and have been extremely pleased with the general idea of taking the equivalent of 150 CDs around with me without the added weight. The sound is excellent (depending on the quality of the MP3, but 160kbs and up...

Pros: enormous capacity, good sound, quality brand, rechargeable batteries
Cons: short battery life, poor portability

My workplace is quiet - a creepy kind of quiet, almost morgue-quiet. I've never been a "quiet" person. Spending most of my waking hours in a silent place is, for lack of a better word, unacceptable. I turned to Creative Labs – the company that...

Pros: big storage, good looks, portability
Cons: bugs, bugs, and more bugs

I don't have an opinion on this expensive little thing because all the love and all the hate cancels each other out :)

I stalked the Nomad Jukebox for months before it was released... waited, poked at the Creative Labs web site for more...

Pros: 6GB Hard Drive, 5 Min. Antiskip, tons of extra abilities!
Cons: Only a few which I will mention.

Good day everyone,

I imagine that you have heard some mixed reviews on the Nomad Player. I myself am a very nit-picky person when it comes to quality, expandability, and extra features all for a reasonable price. I myself waited until the...

Pros: Mega Storage
Cons: Some irritations with the software

I have wanted the Nomad Jukebox player for a very long time. However, I didn't think the $500 price, in the past, was worth it. Recently, Creative has reduced the suggested retail. I was able to find the Jukebox C player at buy.com for $259.99. I...

Pros: Massive storage, upgradable operating system.
Cons: Not the most portable MP3 player; a bit expensive.

Finally! An MP3 player capable of holding more than 64MB of songs!

For a while, I have been holding out on buying an MP3 player, because to me, 64MB of MP3's just won't cut it. I mean...64 Megs is really only about 16 songs, about an hours...

Pros: The storage space, sound quality, features and tech support
Cons: He loves it too much for there to be any negatives.

I bought the Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox for my boyfriend because he was whining that he absolutely needed a portable MP3 player. I'm not sure what would have happened had I not purchased it -- death, maiming, a hissyfit in an aisle at Best Buy...

Pros: Sound quality, size vs. storage capacity, EAX
Cons: Battery life, portability, documentation

I recently purchased a 32 Mb MP3 device and fell in love with the size, convenience and the ability to make my own playlists. However, after a week of manually adding tracks every night using proprietary software, I knew that I needed something more....

Pros: Stores many hours of music
Cons: Poor user interface, short battery life

This is a fun little toy. I would recommend it to someone who wants to listen to music for many hours at a time. If you want something for the gym, I would recommend the Nomad II instead. It's much smaller, lighter, and has no moving parts so it won't...

Pros: Excellent sound, great storage capacity (now 20 and 30 GB too)!!
Cons: Battery life (4 hours)...

After reading some more reviews about the D.A.P. Jukebox (a.k.a. Nomad Jukebox), I felt I should write another review myself, analysing its features point by point. This player seems to have let down too many consumers...but not me...
Once more I...
