Summary: Wish I would have got an IPOD
Review: Okay what a dissapointment. After spending a bunch of money on this thing it doesn't work. The software it came with really screwed up my computer and the player itself is too thick and the headphones become distorted after continuous use. Overall I would not recommend.

Summary: great price, good storage, excellent features
Review: First, its real easy to use. It's difficult to understand how someone who's in the digital age can confuse themselves with this piece of foolproof machinery. Secondly, the price and features it offers simply beats what's on the market, bar none. I got the 20 GB one, and I started uploading music onto the player using the Creative Playcenter software the same night. it will store my entire music collection with no problem.The buttons and controls are intuitive, anondized aluminum surface makes it very cool looking, it even includes a carrying case! I am not sure what ppl need when they complain about the bulky size, personally, i dont need my player to be the size of my cellphone. if you compare some of the portable radios out there, this is about the same size. Why would you want to pay twice as much for something that's just a bit smaller?

Summary: Button shortage but who cares?!
Review: I just got my Zen and I have never seen a better piece of machinery in my life. It is easy to use, and looks sleek as ever. It is a must buy for anyone searching for a great player at a bearable price. It has EAX smart sound, easy to use organization software, 20 gb hard drive, a carrying case, and headphones! However, it does lack a stop button and an EAX button (although still posseses EAX feature) but it will make no difference after you tinker around with it for a while. In other words this is the MP3 player to buy...a great Christmas gift also.

Summary: Great Player
Review: After two weeks of research I decided upon the Nomad Jukebox. I have had it for over a month and I love it. You only have to go through brief instruction to figure out how to use the software. While the software is not the best it is easy to use. Throw the headphones away. I wouldn't want to give them to anyone. I had over one hundred CD that I burned into my player and I have a tremondous amount of room left. I bought this not to go on line and download (you can get sued now) but to be able to carry around my favorite songs with me. It's easier to carry my jukebox with me than 25 cd.

Summary: Bulky, heavy, unfriendly
Review: Anyone considering a Momad Zen or the new NX model should find a demo in store and play with it for *more than ten minute* before coming back and ordering it ... The players are ugly and bulky and heavy, and iPod-killers? In Creative Labs' dreams. These don't hold a candle to iPod in any aspects. In your hands it just feels cheap and ugly, not the kind of feeling you want to have with an expensive gadget you plan to use every day. If you use it you'll find good sound quality is about the only virtue. The interface is ridiculous, and file downloads is unnecessarily complicated. Construction material and quality are third-world class, not the kind that gives you confidence. Finally, even the store salesman said "Don't ever jog with this!" 'Nuf said.

Summary: The worst customer service I have ever experienced!
Review: I would just like to say that, I purchased my first Creative product just over 3 months ago. And has as of yet been one large regret and dissapointment after another. Not only do they have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They also plainly have no faith in their own product. While just about every other manufacturer gives at least a one year warranty, what does Creative give.. yes that's right. 90 days. To make matters wose.. I sent my mp3 player to their support department wrapped up and externally in perfect condition I might add, layered in a big envelope and lots of plastic wrapping.. and yes thats right when it was first received they were unable to locate it's whereabouts. and then severall days later, after calling *at long distance prices I might add* they found it and yes it had according to the receptionist severall large Dents. but no it could not have been anyones fault at creative, because they would not be able to make money from me on their inferior product. I wonder what could have happened during those days when it was unaccounted for? hmm... Well I for one will be very shocked if I ever buy another creative product, and will as such give my feelings to just about whoever will listen.. I can not stress enough do NOT BUY this product.. when it breaks and it WILL Break.. you will end up getting very angry, my favourite was when the person reccomended i pay over 250 dollars to have it repaired when that is the same price or in the case of shipping and handling more expensive then the working model!

Summary: Waste of Money - Do NOT buy
Review: Purchasing the NOMAD Jukebox has been one of the worst buying experiences I have ever had. This unit is EXTREMELY fragile. After experiencing problems with loading the software and ripping CDs, the entire O/S crashed after only 6 months. Unfortunately there is only a 3 month warranty. The customer service department is terrible, they were completely unsynpathetic, and there is no where in the company to even lodge a formal complaint. The cost to repair my unit was estimated at [money amount]. So after a [money amount]initial purchase, my unit was worthless after only 6 months. I have complained several times and filed a complaint with the BBB - but to no avail. Creative Labs has not even offered an apology - yet alone a refund or discount on another unit. DO NOT BUY A CREATIVE LABS MP3 PLAYER!! You will definitely regret the decision.

Summary: beware of perma-lockup
Review: After about 3 weeks of use, my Zen (USB 2.0) froze up permanently after trying to delete some files using their .... software. The unit remained on the splash screen with the backlight on until the battery died. I tried updating the firmware (their website is a joke--they put you through a wild goose chase trying to find and load their drivers/updates but they're not even kind enough to tell you what version to load first, second, third...--you have to search their files for the right date!!! If they cared about their customers, they would organize this better.) But I digress. The unit wouldn't connect with the computer so I was unable to try to reload anything. I was told by tech support (email) to send it back.
Anything that only lasts 3 weeks and comes with a 3 month warranty should be suspect.
I did like the unit while it worked: sound quality was very good. I don't care about all the bells and whistles like time stretching. (They should time stretch their warranty or the length between breakdowns). I want a unit that is reliable and will last more than 3 weeks. Creative needs to work on their Zen because it's not quite ready for primetime. I'll be looking for an iPod.

Summary: I can't belive how lazy people are!
Review: I read about the "horrible" playcenter software, my god if you know jack s**t about computers you can use it. Let me explain how "utterly diffcult" it is. There are two windows, one for the files on your comp, CD,etc and the other is the zen (and it fully displays all the zens playlists and genres and all subfolders) You simply drag and drop! What is simpler! I even use just the old rickety, unreliable USB 1.1 connection and I'm still raving about this product.

Summary: Great Toy for Portable Tunes
Review: This is a great alternative for those of us who tend to travel a lot. There is no longer a need to carry a case of CDs with you. I can get great sound out of it, can use it as a backup for my laptop harddrive, and store my entire collection on it with gigs to spare. I've been getting roughly 10+ hours out of the battery, and it recharges quickly when on the adapter. I love mine, it was a great purchase.
