Creative Technology Nomad Jukebox (20 GB) MP3 Player

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. ...

Pros: Great product, great software, reasonable price.
Cons: Not as cute as other players.

THIS IS FOR JUKEBOX 3. The pictures and titles are reversed in parts if the epinions index. The player I own now is much better than the same player that I bought 8 months ago. I just upgraded the firmware for the 5th time. Each time the unit gets ...

Pros: Price (160 bucks), Capacity (20 gb), Thoughtful features.
Cons: Software problems, small screen, battery life, eventual complete failure.

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 ...

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 ...

Pros: Great sound, good battery life, vastly improved user interface
Cons: same crummy software

I purchased a Creative Nomad III 20Gb player as a replacement for a previous generation model (the o ...

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...

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...

Pros: 20GB, EAX, Easy Search, Great Sound, Replaceable Battery...
Cons: Uncomfortable Headphones

Before I bought this mp3 player I did extensive research. This is not a small purchase if you work as hard as I do...and I assume you do.

First, let's discuss features. The Nomad Jukebox 3 has all the listening features I could ever ask for....

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...

Pros: lots of storage, easy interface, easy to learn
Cons: locks up from time to time, a little bigger than I'd like

I am a music junky. With over 530 CDs in my collection, and gigabyte after gigabyte of mp3s, I just can't get enough. So when I decided it was time for an mp3 player, I shopped around. The iPod is cute, and small, but with the $300 version only having 5...

Pros: Storage Space, Sound Quality, Feel, Interface, 2 Battery Slots, Windows 98 Compatible, Good Price
Cons: A Little Big, Firewire Doesn't Carry Power, A Little Nervous About Support Options

The Nomad Jukebox 3 is a great player for those who need the best in MP3 but if you are not into playing with digital music look elsewhere.

At first glance, the Jukebox 3 looks like a portable CD player. Although once you open this device up...

Pros: Cheaper than ipod, 20GB, Recording Feature, Firewire
Cons: EAX not as good as people say, Software is complicated, Earphones mediocre compared to others

The CJ3 (Creative Labs Jukebox 3) is simply the best for the money. First I'll just talk a little, then talk about the good parts of the CJ3, then the not-so-good. I have studied and read about Mp3 products for monthes, from the ipod (which is great...

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...

Pros: Storage works as promised, sound is good
Cons: big, big, big, not much bundled with it, scratches easy, no USB 2.0

I did lots of research before pulling the trigger on a JB3. Paid about $220 delivered, after rebate. Sounds great, the transfer works as promised (although it would be nice if it were recognized as a hard drive instead of needing to be accessed through...

Pros: Great Sound, plenty of storage, easy to use, good features, good looks
Cons: A little bulky and an occasional hangup

When I first heard about mp3 players, I fell in love with the idea of thousands of songs without the hassle of CD's. I received an mp3 player for Christmas, and it was an Archos Jukebox. I fiddled with the software for probably about 5 hours and...
