Creative Technology Nomad (32 MB) MP3 Player (5000001124)

Pros: Good storage capacity - Quick charge - Durable case
Cons: Slow parallel interface (needs USB)- The incl. headphones are marginal. Way too pricey.

Summary

I bought myself the Nomad 64 as a present in '00 and have now used it for 6 months. Overall I love it. I use it for working out in the gym and for practicing my ballroom dancing. It's ideal for both. It's small size allows me...

Pros: good sound, compact
Cons: 8 character filenames, no win2k support, additional software problems, no clip, battery life

I bought the Nomad 64 because I wanted a compact player that had good sound. However, I did not anticipate that I would have software problems. Plain and simple, the software for the Nomad sucks! The following is a detailed description of a few good...

Pros: Light, easy to use, great sound!
Cons: Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

In the quest for perfection, mankind has over time, created audio devices that are increasingly portable, more feature-packed and less expensive. (well, that’s debatable) The history of audio devices goes back a long way, starting first with the bulky...

Pros: Small size, weight and convenience.
Cons: Headphones are not quality

STRENGTHS:
Small size, weight and convenience.

WEAKNESSES:
Headphones are junk - they fall out of your ears unless you are sitting still - not the case in the gym or dancing. I use a set of Sony sport phones.

Software for...

Pros: Very Small and a Great Price
Cons: n/a

I love my Nomad player and I doubt I'll ever want to go back to my old portable CD player. All the great things you hear about portable MP3 players are true, they're very small, they don't skip, the sound quality is great, and you can customize your MP3...

Pros: Features, features, features at Low Low Price
Cons: No USB, No CODEC updating

I have been in the hunt for an mp3 player ever since I caught wind of Diamond Multimedia's battle with the RIAA to release the original Rio (PMP300) player a couple years ago. As all the new players have come out, and the economies of scale have kicked,...

Pros: Great sound quality, Lots of features!
Cons: No USB, possibly defective (?), low quality voice recording

A Basic Overview of my Opinion:
Creative's Nomad 64 is a good overall mp3 player for most people. The features are wonderful! The fact that it had an FM tuner and voice recording on top of 64mb ram for mp3s influenced my decision to buy...

Pros: Affordable, Great Sound Quality, Long Battery Life, FM Tuner
Cons: Only 64MB (1 hour of music), No Backlid (Hard to see in dark)

Look at all the hype about MP3 players! They are small, intelligent, and soundful. But how do I choose which MP3 player is the best? I personally purchased the Nomad 64MB version from Creative Labs. The player is simply amazing, the sound quality is...

Pros: Everything Everything
Cons: Wish It Had A Backlit Display

I have spent the past few weeks reading epinions.com and cnet.com for opinions about mp3 players. It's a very large catagory, even though all the players do something very similar. For example, on epinions the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. On...

Pros: FM tuner, amazing sound quality, voice recording, works with your SB live
Cons: Bulky and odd design, really made to work with the SB live card

Creative has its high industry brand name as being one of the best computer sound card makers, if not the best. When it came out with its MP3 player it got a lot of buzz, good buzz. The player is nothing less from the hype you’ve heard. The Nomad has...

Pros: Magnesium casing, FM tuner, voice recording, small size
Cons: The controls are a little awkward

I have been tracking the progress of this player since Samsung first introduced it on their site as the "Yepp D." I held out for it. It seemed amazing. Better than the Rio. It was magnesium-cased, the website said, as well as capable of FM...

Pros: Just about everything
Cons: "Shuffle" function doesn't randomize really well (track number 1 is always played second, and doesn't go through all tracks without extensive listening)

While looking to buy an mp3 player late last month, I looked over quite a few opinions about the Nomad. Most, if not all of these were positive, but nothing prepared me for the awesome ability of this player.

Let's start with the size, it is...

Pros: Almost weightless, great MP3 sound, great size
Cons: Flimsy compartment covers; freezes when bumped, poor shuffle feature, poor FM reception

I bought this player because I was tired of carrying a bulky cassette player to the gym, and radio reception at the gym isn't too great (plus, I go to the gym in the morning when most radio stations are full of yakking DJs rather than music). I wanted...

Pros: Small, FM tuner, 64mb, and a voice recorder!
Cons: Buttons are hard to push, and the leather case makes it hard to use

I purchased the Nomad because it was a portable MP3 player for one, and two, it has a built in voice recorder, and three, it has a built in FM player! What a great package! The Nomad sports 64mb of memory which is about a little over an hour at a...

Pros: Size, Radio, Exandable
Cons: Parallel interface

My Nomad was a gift. It plays music great; I like the built in radio; the software does MP3 encoding well with a variety of options, and I especially like how it retrieves album information from the web.

...but since I'm a heavy computer user...
