Despite the recent influx of MP3 players to hit the market, the Nomad Jukebox is still one of the best MP3 players around. Although this product has now been around for a while, I decided to wait until the price came down enough to justify...

Pros: Large capacity, convenient size, great concept

The Creative Nomad Jukebox is an amazing little piece of technology that allows you to store 100 hours of music (that is 1,200 5-minute songs) all on something the size of a portable CD player. You can transfer from your CD collection, or MP3 files from...

Pros: Storage space galore.
Cons: It's always running out of juice!

I never wanted an MP3 player. I had a computer. It had thousands of MP3s on it. I had a cd player. I had hundreds of disc for it. Life was good. Why disturb the status quo? Then it was my birthday, and princess that I am, I knew I was getting...

Pros: Great storage. Good sound.
Cons: Batteries are awful. Manual is awful.

Creative Labs and I have a mixed relationship going way back. There was a time when their SoundBlaster soundcard was second to none. Those cards held a place of honor in my desktop systems and a place in every computer I put together. I love my...

Pros: 6 Gigabyte capacity; USB interface; uses 4 rechargeable batteries

The main complaint anyone has for portable MP3 music players has been the extraordinary expense due mainly, we are told, to the cost of flash memory that is used in the majority of the players. Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox takes a different approach. It...

Cons: Price, might want to wait for further enhancements which are most likely just around the corner..

The first...

Once more into the epinions breach, dear friends.....

Pros: Hard drive based storage - extremely large capacity for a very reasonable price, Nice navigation with backlit LCD
Cons: Extremly large, over two times the size of it's nearest competitor, the PJB-100

Built around a 6 GB laptop hard drive, the size remains fairly small and the cost very reasonable. The problem with this design is that it re-introduces the problem of skipping by using a disk based storage medium. To fix this, an 8 MB buffer is used,...

Pros: great to listen to MY songs on the road
Cons: controls are not that intuitive; what rechargeable batteries? battery-power option sucks

Being in a long-distance relationship, I do make frequent weekend drives that last about 2-3 hours. To make these drives a bit more pleasant, I purchased the Jukebox about a year ago. It has been an awesome companion.

In order to accomplish...

Pros: Massive storage space, great interface.
Cons: A tad bulky, but worth the extra weight.

Creative did one hell of a job with the Nomad Jukebox. Sure it may be a tad over your budget for a new gadget all your friends will be talking about, but it's well worth it. Not only does this thing pack on a whopping 6GB of storage space, but the huge...
