Digital camera reviews of CREATIVE LABS Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 40GB Digital Audio Player
Digital camera Review: Great MP3 player, great customer service.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my spouse for Christmas...he absolutely loved it. A week later he closed his car door on his jacket pocket - the pocket containing his Jukebox. It was busted, would not work at all. We were devastated. After a few emails back and forth with Creative, they gave me an authorization for repair; I sent it to them and received the repaired unit, like new, in about a week. Fabulous! No problems since. If you don't care about the "ipod" name brand, I highly recommend this one!Digital camera Review: Great Player
Summary: 5 Stars
Have had the player since Xmass and love it!Pros: Great sound, very long battery life (I routinely play it for 12+ hours), very fast recharges rate, removable battery, storage size, nice screen, firmware updates, and great price.
Cons: Short warranty (3 months, so I got the extended warranty at Best Buy), occasional freeze up (easily fixed by popping out battery), somewhat flimsy navigation wheel.
Neutral: I didn't even try the included software. I just bought Notmad manager ($25) and file transfers are easy drag and drop, songs stored by ID3 tags not by folders, needs to have software on computer to transfer files, no window on case (nice case otherwise.
Digital camera Review: Great Player, A Lot Less Than iPod
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got my Creative Labs Nomad And I've Already Put Most Of My Cds On It And Am Hard Pressed To Fill It Up, I'm Going To Borrow My Friends CD collection But 11000 Songs Is A Lot To Come By. I Love It And It Was A Lot Cheaper Than the 40 Gig ipod and the ipod has some questionable reviews.
Great Player. Great Deal. Cheaper.
Digital camera Review: Great Travel Mate
Summary: 4 Stars
I take this unit everywhere, and love it. I use this in my car with a C. Crane FM Transmitter and boy is it oh so nice to essentially have your own radio station.I have to admit that the case could be a little better. You have to open it to see the display and make music selections.
I also wish it came with a car power adapter, I'm still trying to hunt one down for this particular model so that I don't have to run it off the battery all the time.
Other than these two minor issues, this unit is a great value. The battery is easy to get to (meaning you don't have to take the thing apart like the Ipod) and it will play wma files and hooks up to my Windows Systems!
Digital camera Review: Great memory, quality?
Summary: 2 Stars
I just bought one and returned it as defective for good reason. In a quick summation, here is what I found.+ the memory (40 gb) is staggering. I had downloaded about 1000 songs and had room for another 9000! It may have taken several years to fill this up.
+ I had no problem using musicmatch software already on my computer to load songs and albums onto this unit
+ Screen was good, easy to read
+/- Sound quality was good but it was going to take some tweakings with settings to try to make it great.
- The software that came with it was tough to load. I got weird messages about it not being ok'd by microsoft (or something like that), then I thought it failed to load, then it loaded.
- The top that covered the battery kept poping off without much of a touch near the bottom latch. Not good if you're taking this traveling. the top did not fit well into the unit. (felt defective)
- the cover that came with it didn't fit very well
- the flywheel you use for most of the navigation wasn't in tightly and it was uneven as far as the amount of pressure to make it engage. I wasn't sure how long it would take before it would break.
- this DID NOT feel like quality construction and I wasn't sure how long it would last.
