Summary: Nomad II MG (Blue)
Review: I spent some time doing some research before I decided on buying this product. For the money, features and quality from the reviews that I read, this was it! I'm with USAF in Saudi serving my country, I keep myself occupied by skating and bike riding and always do it with music. Carrying a CD player or tape player is always too bulky. I had to have my wife order the MP3 from England, have Amazon ship it to New York so her sister could send it to her and in turn she would mail it to me here in Saudi....it finally got here (2-1/2 wks)and so far so good. I was very, very impressed with the size, loading the software was a breeze and getting the files to download to the player was even easier, great sound, enough base for me and plenty of feature. We get three stations here and no problems at all, crisp clear. I would recommend this to any one interested in getting a good value for money MP3...two things, the headphones are very nice, but the sound they offer are worst then a $5.00 headphones, the carrying case is a joke and definetly needs a belt clip, either on the case or the player itself, I put it in some glue from the inside got on the buttons, so they were sticky for awhile. Big plus....docking station with baterry charger, be careful not to force it when putting the player into the charger. It uses Flash Memory, not Smart Media like it's advertised...

Summary: Sweet MP3 player!
Review: Since the day that I got my Rio 500 stolen, I was on the internet looking for new MP3 players. I came across the Nomad, and I was stuck on it right away. This is because it comes with a docking port that I hooked up to the USB port on my computer. While the batts are charging, you can upload/download sounds to and from the Nomad. This is very easy and fast for me, ..., because I like to download music at the last minute ... . By the way, the download/upload time is fast!Another thing that I liked about it is that it came with a voice recorder and an FM radio with 32 presets.... . ... . Another attraction to the Nomad is the sleek looking style and color. One thing that can get annoying is that the buttons are on the sides, but I don't think that that is a problem, since the button locations are easy to remember. ... . MY ADVICE TO U: BUY THE NOMAD, IT ROCKS!

Review: Player is great and sounds pretty good with a different set of headphones. I also like the docking station. The software is easy to use and performs all required functions. I like the ergonomic arrangement of the controls and the overall size. I do not like the cheezy vinyl case that comes with it. It has no openings to access controls, no belt clip, and closing the flap requires disconnection of the headset. Recommendations for Creative Labs: Get a case that can be worn and that allows access to controls (in leather). Get a better headset.

Summary: Do NOT buy this product!
Review: Creative Labs Nomad II MP3 player. Do not buy this product! I initially bought this unit because it had "name" & several good reviews. You can imagine my dissatisfaction when the actual product arrived & did not live up to expectations. Ok, the first Nomad unit that I received was a total failure. Nothing worked. The rechargeable batteries could not be recharged, the "docking station" was "FUBAR," and the player simply did not work. OK. Trust the company. Send the unit back & get a new one. Did that. Got a new unit. Guess what? Worked for four hours & then stopped, shut down, quit, for no identifiable reason. Frustration. Conclusion. Do not buy this product. For whatever reason, design, quality control, whatever, this product is FUBAR. It is totally unreliable! Do not buy it! Do not waste your money!

Summary: A lot of money for features that don't work.
Review: I was very disappointed by this product. For starters the normally ships in 24 hours ended up shipping in about a week. When it did arrive it was fairly easy to set up. The software that came with it was very good and made it very easy for a novice mp3 user to both add internet music and rip stuff from my CD's. The mp3 functions are fine and the sound is good. Now the problems- after about three hours use the unit stopped working. The battery clip wasn't holding enough tension on the battery to make contact, when I tried to fix it broke. With a small piece of tinfoil I was able to make due. Now my major complaint- The FM tuner is garbage. I'm in the NY Metro area, less than an hour from Manhattan, and I am totally unable to pull in the major stations and those that do come in switch between stereo ad mono making them un usable. For what they are charging for this unit it is ridiculous to have this kind of performance.

Summary: BEST MP3 I KNOW!
Review: I have owned a RioMP300. I wanted a better player with more memory and a better display so I researched all of the players on the market and decided to go with the MG. I have been 100% happy with my purchase. The controls are very well positioned, the backlite screen looks great, and the small size is a plus. The only negative: the head phones. But with new headphones this thing is a pure beauty. The microphone for recording is a huge plus - it works and sounds great! Must have for all MP3 users.

Summary: GOOD PLAYER ,HORRIBLE POWER
Review: I recently purchased this player and overall have been fairly happy. I use it primarily for recording lectures, and transcribbing. One problem I have with this player is that the record level as well as the playback level are rather low. The biggest problem for this unit is the batteries. The one key point many of theses other owners are overlooking is the fact that these "great rechargable batteries" are NiMH. THEY BUILD MEMORY !!! The bad part about this other then the usual, is the fact that you need to "dock" the unit in order to download or upload. Every time you dock, the charger automatically is set on. One could argue and say just disconnect the charger but the unit runs solely on the freakin' batteries ! If creative comes up with a way to upgrade the power to Li Ion they will have themselves one heck of a unit !

Summary: Best Player Ever
Review: This is the best MP3 Player I've ever used. When I am tired with music I listen to radio. I don't like two things about it that controls are on the side of player and that it is to expensive.

Summary: Great Product
Review: The Nomad II MG, is definately a good buy. I would highly recommend it to others. It is easy to use, easy to connect to your pc (it comes with a docking station) and easy to transfer MP3's back and forth. I have read many other reviews about this, and the only complaint I had heard was that there was no wired remote...well, that's not true. I purchased the wired remote for this player online at Creative.com. It works great, although I have found that with a little practice you don't even need it...you can easily manipulate the buttons on the actual device right through the case it comes with. This is a sure buy!
