Rating: Summary: Excellent Entry Level Player Review: If you're not up for paying big bucks for an iPod, this is a great unit. I connected it to my iMac right out of the box and iTunes recognized it's 32mb of internal memory and the 64mb smart media card I added so I could immediately start transferring tunes. Mine didn't come with phones so I bought some Koss earbuds that have foam earpieces and small tubes that channel the sound into your ears. This was better than other phones I tried because they seal out the outside noise. By tweaking the sound settings on the Nomad llc, I get the crisp highs and nice clean bass. Perfect for my Miles Davis MP3 collection. I reccomend this unit highly. It has excellent features, small size, awesome battery life, and a great price.
Rating: Summary: Oh Man this is Nice Review: Ive had i think two or three MP3 players and this is the best one ive ever had. Normally i have no luck with computer/electronics but this is as easy as breathing, and for those of you who have trouble breathing, then its as easy as eating. I put a 32 megabyte Smart media in it and it was the easiest thing ive ever done but then the card got stolen, so i got a 64 and that was soo nice, now i can hold 33 songs so wherever i go, im set i recently flew to Washington D.C. and i wasn't mad that i didn't have enough songs at all, the one drawback is, but i think this happens on every mp3 player is that the clock uses the batteries even when it is turned off. You're Welcome.
Rating: Summary: A waste of money Review: The controls are very limited and clumsy to use and misuse. The volume is quite weak and battery life is little more than an hour. The belt clip is non-function and snapped off on first use with me. (...) To top it all off.. MINE DIED RIGHT AFTER THE 90 DAY WARRANTEE PERIOD ENDED!!!
Rating: Summary: Excellent entry level player Review: This player is excellent for a first time user. Other than the headphones being too big the features are good. With an additional smart media card, you have a great little player.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME PLAYER! Review: This player is GREAT. It's not expensive, and the 32MB should be enough for all except the most demanding audiophiles. MUST BUY!
Rating: Summary: Frustrating installation process Review: This was a gift and turned out to be a technological nightmare. After countless hours trying to locate and download the more current version of Playcenter, we were still unable to interface between the player and the software. Tech support was virtually non-existent as more than an hour was spent on hold! Unfortunately, the manual offered little assistance and one problem led to another. The gadget is probably wonderful for those with a extreme patience in troubleshooting. Not very user-friendly.
Rating: Summary: Why you should buy this player Review: When i got this product, i was VERY satisfied. Here are the Pros and cons of theis player. Pros: QUICK TRANSFERRING: I heard some players are a pian to put mp3s on and off of, but not this one! Sometimes i even do it for fun! It's fast and easy. YOU CAN TURN IT OFF: I heard some players you can't turn off. Well, you can with this one. IS NOT A BATTERY EATER: I am not sure how long the batterys last, but it doesn't suck all the juice out in one gulp. GREAT SOUND: It sounds awsome! Okay, here are the cons. Even though there are a small amount of cons, it still gets a five star rating out of satisfaction. Cons: WHERE ON EARTH IS THAT UPGRADE?????? When i got it (I have windows XP) i installed it, but it needed an upgrade for it to work on our computer. But it wasn't where it was supposed to be and i had to look for it. HOW MANY PROGRAMS ARE THERE? This isn't that bad, but there was tons of programs it was installing, just to get this little mp3 player to work! THERE IS NO CASE! I saw that other mp3 players had cases with them but this one did not have one. It has a clip on the back though. [....]
Rating: Summary: This Baby Rocks! Review: WOW! After reading some of the previous reviews, I was prepared for a long night of trial & error to get the Nomad IIc and PlayCenter2 software working w/ my Dell Laptop running W2KPro. I was pleased to find the installation a breeze, and EVERYTHING worked as advertised right from the start! I had a sizeable collection of MP3s, so I got right to downloading -- no problem, and quite fast. Ripping CDs? Works like a champ! And the audio quality from the Nomad IIc is unbelievable! I also love the voice recording capability -- great for those "mental notes". Why didn't I buy one of these before? I even got brave and downloaded a firmware update from nomadworld.com to support my 128MB SmartMedia card. Very simple download and upgrade, and as I write this I'm jamming to 45 of my favorite tunes packed into 160MB! I bought this as a BDay gift for my wife, but if she wants it she'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands!
