Creative Nomad II

 

Though it wasn't the first MP3 player to offer a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connection, the Creative Nomad II (AU$699; Shipping in May in Australia) is still one of the few that does.

A Mp3 player for everyone (well, almost)

 

Great battery life, small, 64mb onboard and easy to use.

Need to download XP driver, jukebox is clunky to use and no FM tuner.

Great if it works

 

I got this model due to the nice feature set for the price (which I specifically required to be under 150.00), and it's compatibility with Macintosh iTunes software. The first model worked fine for three days, loaded with tunes twice. On Third day,...

Best Buy

 

This MP3 player was easy to set up with my computer and has some nice features such as voice recording, user interface playback, user adjustable bass and treble, and easy to use buttons. As far as just a plain, well put together MP3 player I can't ...

Lightweight, easy to use display, decent storage.

Stock headphones aren't convenient or loud enough.

Best MP3 Player Out There

 

I bought this MP3 player because my old one's (the Iomega HipZip Player) disks were beginning to fail, and Iomeega decided that they weren't manufacturing the PocketZip disks anymore, rendering my player basically useless.

Extremely light, great features and sound quality, solid body

Volume could go up a little higher
