Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 PlayerStrengths: large drive Weakness: poor hardware reliability, poor warranty The unit I have has just failed. the screen does not work. This is the third unit I have had in one year. The first had the screen fail, the second had the scroll wheel fail, both within 3 months. At least they both were replaced under warranty, although the warranty on a replacement unit is only 30 days, after enough argument, they replaced the second unit. This one has lasted 5 months, and the...

Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 PlayerStrengths: Fast firewire, excellent audio quality. Weakness: Building filelist is slow if unit locks up (only happened once) I don't know what all your problems with firewire are. I have had no trouble using it in WinXP pro. It could be because the device is SB-1394 compliant and not IEE-1394. Yes creative has thier own version of firewire availiable on the audigy series of soundcards. Using that interface I have had no trouble. Great unit. Portable hard-drive support is availiable threough the playcenter software, you...

Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 PlayerStrengths: 20 GB of storage space Weakness: Clunky software & hardware. You can't just turn it on and play... oh no... You have to fiddle with it like a 1920's crystal radio set. Battery Life 22hrs with the extra battery? Non-sense. Creative support is a joke... they don't know anything or tell you anything... their always saying "This is not typical of this device"... B.S. and ask them to let you trade it in.... nothing doing.... I moved it to my new HP notebook with XP -- I can no longer download tracks to it... why? heaven knows..... don't even consider buying this thing!

Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 PlayerStrengths: Available memory, ease of use, small and compact. Weakness: Transfer of music and ability to change/rename/organize within the player itself. ND_blew wrote that "To whoever wrote "Get used to the device not connected/busy" message - IT'S CALLED A LOOSE CONNECTOR!!!" ND_blew it's no loose connector it is an IRQ conflict with USB. As to how to fix this will be determined by the bios and OS. I have to disable two other hardware items and then I don't see this problem. I'm using Win 98 SE, so I don't know about other operating systems?...

Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 PlayerStrengths: 22hr possible battery life, Dual-backlit display, ecxellent dual-audio out quality, optical in, dual rechargable batteries, firmware updates, 20 gigs, firewire Weakness: Slow coming accessories (which are pricy), not accessable as a portable hdd, pricy, no auto-dj, no USB2.0, NO CASE INCLUDED This is the best solution for an MP3 player that will hold your entire library of songs. Other than the Apple IPOD or the rio riot, I believe this is a best option for its style and simplicity, not to mention that this is almost half the price of the IPOD. I am very happy with my investment in this MP3 player, and I am sure you will be too as long as you make sure you are skilled enough with...

Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 PlayerStrengths: Storage, easier to use than original Nomad Jukebox, relates better to it's own software than original Jukebox, battery life Weakness: Option display doesn't stay on long enough. Not the best directions for starting out. I had the Original Jukebox, this is much better in every sense. Smaller, longer battery life, great storage. Did have problem with Customer Service with old Jukebox. You'll be on hold for eternity.

Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 PlayerStrengths: HUGE Storage, great EQ, LOUD headphone amp, and easy interface. Weakness: A bit bulky, scroller is a bit tricky to master. (A full day of use cures that up right away.) This player has it all. When I got the product, I went to the NOMADWorld site and updated the driver, playcenter, and file manager. To whoever wrote "Get used to the device not connected/busy" message - IT'S CALLED A LOOSE CONNECTOR!!! After a few minutes of being kinked into the right position, it'll stay that way forever. Anyone looking for a great MP3/Portable HD, this is by far one of the...

Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 PlayerStrengths: Good audio quality Good drive capacity(although so what. Everyone has MP3 players with HD’s now) Good battery life Weakness: Firewire does not work consistantly Unreadable display Overpriced No Digital out Poor headphone volume Playlist only displays 20 chars of title Not recognized as a drive Support is useless -Inclusion of a USB 1 connection rather than one compatible with 1 & 2. Firewire is included but the implementation is VERY buggy and failed at least 10 times during the transfer of 3100 MP3’s. That included blue screening XP once with the included playcenter/driver version. The latest does not crash XP but the failures still occur. When they do XP has to be rebooted for it to ever work again...

Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3 MP3 Player
Strengths: Massive capacity, too many features to list, supersonic connection speeds.
Weakness: Limited battery life, cheesy PC software, external mic connection problems, on-your-own tech support
I've taken my Jukebox 3 everywhere with me with virtually no problems. I had the device connected and working on my Athlon system's USB port within 10 minutes of opening the box (for those of you that had trouble connecting your Jukebox, make sure you hit the shiny little rectangular port in your PC's rump). And I installed the software to make it work on my SB1394 (Firewire) port the next day. I...
