angrykid's Full Review: Creative Technology Nomad IIc (64 MB) MP3 Player
If any mp3 device has any "easy-to-use" (read: proprietary) software to interface with the user - - RUN SCREAMING.

The drivers it came with are buggy and the "upgrade" drivers are worse; I can only add/delete one song at a time from internal memory before PlayCenter locks up by system (who says you can't crash XP??).

I bought 2 Nomad IIc's after doing my DD; one for my wife, one for my son. I installed PlayCenter on both my PCs and the above (one song at a time, then CRASH) happens with both Nomads.

Thank goodness that I we can d/l and delete files from the external memory or I'd have 2 paperweights.

Maybe I can get $10 at a yard sale . . .
