Rating: Summary: 2 years later and still going strong Review: While my Nomad Jukebox's structural integrity depends heavily upon duct tape, it still works like a charm. I've managed to break it a few times, and it was always pretty easy to repair just by ripping off the fuzzy things on the bottom and unscrewing those delightful miniscrews to reveal the magical guts of the player. Sometimes it gets fussy if I start and stop and start and stop like 3 different songs, but that's what the reset button is for. My only complaint is that USB 1.1 just seems so slow these days, I wish there was a magic wand that would all of a sudden give it some firewire capability.

Rating: Summary: First Generation Jukebox, functional but has quirks Review: I bought this jukebox about a year ago before the version 2 came out. And boy did I get buyer's remorse when a few months later Creative introduced the Jukebox 2 with lithium batteries. I could not get more than 1-1/2 hrs with the enclosed batteries, and the Jukebox would reboot sometimes when going over a bump in the car. However I do enjoy the 6 GB of storage (now they have Jukeboxes with 40Gigs!), and since my CD collection isn't so large, I get to have it all with me. I bought a car adaptor, [it was out of stock in the Creative online store for months, and I did not get it until 6 months later]. In the meantime, I could only use it for getting to sleep hooked to the AC adaptor.One more thing, to the person who said that his jukebox would not even turn on with and without the batteries. You need to stick a pin or paper clip into the reset hole in the back while turning it on or off [if it is hung in the off position]. I read how you bought all those accessories and feel for you.
Rating: Summary: Serious QC Problems Review: ... I'm using WindowsXP with a 6gb model, and after converting my MP3s to WMAs(they take up half the size without noticeable quality loss) with "Plus! Audio Converter", I can fit nearly 3500 songs on the thing. There is also a great new Firmwear version that is better than the one in the newest "Jukebox 3." Simply go to Yahoo.com and search for "Nomad Jukebox" and you'll soon find Firmware v4.0. This new firmware converts the volume control into a scrolly-wheely thing that makes finding songs SO easy, and the UI is very intuitive and simple to figure out and use, the only thing that's difficult about it is that it's so different from the last crappy ones that it's hard to get the hang of. As for battery life--I've got 2 sets of the Creative batteries and the AC adaptor that collect dust in the drawer. I went down to RadioShack and bought a pair of hi-cap NiMH batteries for $$$ and a charger for $$$, and I get nearly 5 hours of playback. There is absolutely no problem with this jukebox if you do a few non-warranty-voiding altercations to it.
