Summary: Very Nice For the Beginner
Review: My Grandma bought this for me for christmas and i have had the best of luck with it. The software is amazingly easy to use and there are no hastles. Everyone says the screen is hard to navigate but if you take 2 minutes to look at the directions and try it out you'll figure it out right away. The software is slightly boring and I wish it supported a little more space but, hey what ya gonna do? Overall this is a great piece of equipment.

Summary: Simple was all I wanted.
Review: I was looking for a basic player to take to the rec center, and that's exactly what I got. Right out of the box I was loading songs with no problem. The software was very intuitive - though I did have to refer to the online manual to figure out how to navigate the menus on the Nomad itself. Luckily the manual is crystal clear. 32MB seemed small, but that's fine for my purposes (besides it's expandable, though I don't think I'll find the need.) I loaded 15 songs with no problem using the WMA format at 64kbps. Now I know that's only 'near CD quality' but in the rec center with crappy little head phones, who can tell the difference? This unit doesn't come with headphones. That was fine with me, if it had come with headphones I probably would have just replaced them. There are two reasons I didn't give this 5 stars. One is it doesn't come with rechargeable batteries. There is no reason Creative Labs can't package this with rechargable batteries for the same price - and it's just silly using throw aways in it. Before it even arrived I bought myself a couple of rechargeable batteries and a charger. The other is the belt clip. It is pretty loose. I'm using this in an active environment, and may end up having to buy a carrying case for it. Bottom line - I'm quite pleased with my purchase.

Summary: Great player... while it works
Review: I actually bought this as a gift for a friend, and she loved it. The player was small, light, had decent sound, and was working great until just a short while ago. The player just spontaneously died (just sitting on a desk... it wasn't being jostled around while running or anything). To my horror, I've discovered problems with the Nomad II line are fairly common ... To top it off, the unit was past its short 90 day warranty, so there's a [monetary fee] (plus shipping) just to have Creative examine the player for repairs. After they assess the problem, they'll charge extra money for repairs. For all that time and money, you may as well just buy a new player from another company. Stay away from this product. It seems like a great deal, but they are manufactured cheaply and prone to break down. Creative itself doesn't even have enough faith in their own product to back it up with a better warranty.

Summary: I really love this machine
Review: For the price, this machine is great. The only problem I've encounter developed from someone else's review. The review said that you could purchase up to 128mb of additional memory for the machine. So without really looking into it I did and had to eventually sell that card and purchase another card for 64mb (the maximum amount allowed for this machine). But with the new card I am able to listen to 73 songs with this thing. It's just wonderful.

Summary: Great Bargain
Review: I bought a Nomad 2c recently and I have not had any problems yet. The sound is great. There were only a few drawbacks though. 1. It comes with no headphones. 2. Batteries do not last to long. I would recomend going up to the regular Nomad 2 if you have a little extra money, because the Nomad 2c with the accesories kit is only about 30-40 dollars cheaper and the regular Nomad 2 comes with an FM radio. It is still an excellent player.
