Summary: Good until it broke
Review: The unit broke a year after I bought it. I wouldn't buy another player from Creative Labs because it is too fragile. I only used the unit at the gym a few times a week. The first thing that broke was the wired remote, which I found to be very useful. The menu on the unit is easy enough to figure out, but rather slow to navigate. It takes several steps just to check the time. I liked the behind the head ear phones, they don't pinch my ears, but I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. The ear phone sound quality is just average. I'd have to say the quality of the product as a whole is just average.

Summary: Wont have Any other player
Review: I got my Nomad II (dap 0001) over 1 year and a half ago. It has completely changed my way of listening to Music. Its portable design makes it invisible in almost any setting, not to mention its light weight which is great for working out. I take my player with me everywhere I go. It has amazing sound quality and can take a good thrashing too. I have dropped it many times and it has kept on ticking until recently. I bought some 9$ head phones at Kmart to use with it and I kid you not it is like walking around with an invisible home stereo system on your head. crystal clear sound!!!! no listening unit can offer a more customized and personal experience. When I turn it off it remembers exactly where in any song I left off. if anyone else knows of a player that can do that for under 200$ please tell me. I love this feature. If I turn it off for an hour and pick it back up its like I never missed a beat in the song (literally). Sometimes the unit does some strange things but always bounces back. It can be difficult at times, but taking the battery out and putting it back in ususally does the trick. Voice recording feature is quite useful. Software user friendly, and it is so easy to use Iwas using it without even looking at it within 2 days of owning it. Now here is the bad part. mine just stopped working recently. It would not read the memory card and now I cant even get it to turn on. I am crushed. I am in the market for another one but I just cant find one that matches this one in features, portability, and sound quality. I am leaning toward buying another one, and this is after thoroughly studying many other players. I just cant get over this player and I dont think I will ever own anything else. This little player rivals my wife in its significance. very hard to find a light weight portable,good sounding mp3 player with voice recorder, FM stereo, no skip, repeat 1 and all tracks ,a-b loop, with auto song bookmarking feature, that runs on only 1 battery for many hours on end, and makes a 10$ set of headphones sound like a million bucks. its ease of operation almost requires no instructions. If mine doesnt start working again soon I will not think twice about dropping 200$ to get another one!!!

Summary: Great When Got the Right Software
Review: I recently obtained a Nomad II with 32 megs of on-board memory. When I got it and installed the software on the computer it just wouldn't work. I spent about 300 minutes of my phone card with Technical Support but they couldn't help me. HORRIBLE TECH SUPPORT. However they were gracious to send me a new copy of Playcenter 2, the program used to upload files. Once I installed that the player work wonderfully. Before I got the new software I had all but given up on the product.
