Intro... I got this MP3 player...

I got this mp3 player online for about 200.00 dollars. It came to 236.00 with all the taxes and other stuff. I have been waiting to get an mp3 player for quite a while and took my time searching, and this one...

Pros: Massive storage, great audio quality, USB connectivity, intuitive interface, sleek industrial design
Cons: Poor battery life (NiHh), bloated desktop software, sluggish performance at times, not-so-great headphones

The Nomad Jukebox is arguably the best $420 I have ever spent. I am very happy with this device, even though it does have some shortcomings.

For starters, it really all boils down to one thing...massive storage. 6GB of pure listening...

Pros: Preloaded Jazz/Classical Music, Ease of use, sturdy
Cons: Weak Random/Shuffle, no built in Mic

After spending a month researching the 6G players, my wife surprised me and got me this for Xmas. I have been spending the time since playing with my new toy, and have enjoyed it immensely, although you do have to take some time to learn a few tricks....

Pros: Lots of space
Cons: battery life, volume, PRICE

I read all the good reviews about this player and decided to go out and buy one. I was expecting a near perfect device. What I got was a pretty cool toy with a very very heavy price tag. I noticed two very large draw backs to this product in my first few...

Pros: Holds a ton of music, and searching by artist is great
Cons: No fast forward or rewind within mp3 files

You could easily find this impressive MP3 players in James Bond's bag of tricks. With 6GB of storage it can hold more than 100 hours of music. With USB connection, rechargeable batteries, and sophisticated search capabilities, this is a powerful...

Pros: Good recording quality.
Cons: Short battery life. Not able to record to mp3 or re-encode mp3s.

Creative Labs, at least to me, has often come across like the makers of the Macintosh: they can make brilliant hardware, but they can’t code to save their lives. My Soundblaster Live works teriffic, but the control panel set bars on programming idiocy....

Pros: 6 GIGS! Friendly Interface, Easy, 2 sets of Rechargeable Batteries, Adequete Connection (USB), upgradeable(firmware),remote coming out soon
Cons: Backphones, Waiting time,Money if your'e cheap.

Yep the Creative Jukebox can someday...

Pros: holds your complete music collection
Cons: None.

This is an amazing piece of kit; you are able to hold 6GB of MP3’s or WMA’s on a player the size of a CD player.

The software is good and lets you transfer files or rip CD’s quickly and cleanly from your PC to the JukeBox. And with the latest...

Pros: Size (given that it contains a hard disk), Capacity, Ease of Use, Style, Value (not the cheapest mp3 player out there by far, but a real bargain if you divide it by the memory & compare!), Special features (like choice of background setting), Easy navi
Cons: Takes a minute or two to boot disk, Short battery life (advertized at around 5 hours, usually a little shorter), In rare cases does not transfer entire song over the first time

When I purchase electronics, I do a ton of research online, here and other places. This past summer, I'd been searching and searching for a truly high capacity mp3 player to hold my large collection, and all I was finding was dinky (albeit cute) 64mb...

Pros: best value, easy interface, usb
Cons: sync software needs help

Cons: Very pricey, Isn't tiny

Since the introduction of MP3 to the music scene, there have been many advances in making music devices smaller and smaller. The Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox is not one of these innovations. Although, at the size of a CD player, it packs some serious...

Pros: Terrific music quality, tons of disk space
Cons: Buggy, organizational nightmare, I want more disk space!

I wanted to play my MP3s. The question then became: minidisc or MP3 player? Music mavens didactically pointed me toward the minidisc solution for music purity reasons. Apparently MP3 digital standards weren’t up to snuff in comparison. But I thought to ...

Pros: 6 GIGS!
Cons: No Downloading BACK to the computer, price

The Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox is ONE of the best mp3 players on the market. There is only one other in its class, those with 6 gigs, that has surmounted the Nomad's greatness. This other, I will get to later. First off, the nomad boasts 6 gigs of...

Pros: 100+ hours of music in one device
Cons: Software needs improvement

The Jukebox is a very nice and useful product. But there are also points that need improvement, otherwise I see the big electronic giants making even better products in the future and Creative could loose their edge.
I assembled a list of...
