Summary: Creative customer service sucks
Review: The player is good, better than archos. But if you have any problems with the software or hardware, forget any sort of response from CL customer service. They suck!

Summary: great
Review: this is a really good mp3 player, its really cheap and carries so much music. Here's a list of reasons why its so good:
1) It carries 30 GB of memory for such a cheap price.
2) It's program is so easy to use and install.
3) Look-wise, while not being cooler than the ipod, it still is pretty decent. Its got a cool green screen and the metal casing is nice.
4) The scroll buttons good, i dont see why anyone would complain about it since the ipod has the exact same thing really. Plus it speeds up if you hold it for a while.
5) I had the previous Nomad Jukebox Zen 20 GB and this is alot better; Its really durable and it doesn't break very easily. I dropped it a couple times already and its fine.
6) Its a bit bulky, but it fits fine in my pocket. I carry it around my school all the time and I dont even feel it weighing me down or being annoying. Ive tried the ipod out and even though its more sleek, it really doesnt matter that much.
7) Its got amazing battery power; 14 hours, I listen to it for about 4 hours a day so i only have to recharge it about twice every week. No big nuisance.
8) Anyone who would by an archos jukebox is an idiot since this is just as cheap and a lot cooler and sleeker.
9) Its got a cool leather carrying case, but you cant see the screen, which is good in some ways.
10) It vibrates every 10 minutes or so, which is cool and fun when its in your pocket...
11) Sometimes it freezes, thats the only con.
12) this is stupid but its a good conversation maker. Someone will be like "hey whats that?" to which you can explain and then theyll be like cool and youll be like yeah...

All in all its really good

Summary: Excellent Value, Excellent Player
Review: This is my first mp3 player purchase. I had toyed around with an iPod at an electronics store and was almost sold on it. It was just so cool. But after thinking things over I decided it wasn't worth the price. So I started looking into the Zen. I was close to buying it when the Zen NX was announced, so I held out for it. I am sure glad I did! I was able to buy it for less than $300, but even for that it's an incredible deal. 30GB, incredible sound (according to professional reviewers it has the best sound of any mp3 player, including the iPod), well-designed navigation, and cool EAX features. Unlike some people, I didn't have any problem at all with the software it comes with. However, I had ripped all my software beforehand with other programs, so my ID3 tags and everything were all set. I only used Creative's program to upload them to my Zen. My only complaint with the player is the scroll wheel is a little hard to click. While the screen is small, it's sharp and easy to read and navigate. In short, this is the best bang for the buck. It's a good, convenient size, feels solid, comes with plenty of space for mp3s, sounds awesome, and is relatively stylish as well! Highly recommended for buyers unwilling to waste extra money on style (iPod).

Summary: Excellent player...
Review: This is truly an excellent player and a great value for money. The player is very pleasant to look at and seems much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the USB 2 version. The flip-type case coming with the player is very smart looking- it does have a flaw in that with the case fully closed, one cannot see the LCD screen. I feel that creative should have thought about this and made a slot for the LCD to peer through. The sound quality is EXCELLENT. However, you would need to get new headphones. The ones coming with the player dont do it justice. The player has the same EAX options as the USB 2. One of the biggest improvements is the software. The creative mediasource was a joy to use. The software was able to recognize the ID tags automatically and list each track by its respective title, artist, album, genre etc... This was a major flaw in the playcenter software. The transfer from the PC to zen was flawless. I was really happy with this pleasant improvement. The battery life is amazing too. I am getting around 12-13 hours with one charge. And of course the battery is user replaceable- a huge bonus. Eventually plan to get another battery for those long trips where u cannot charge. However 12 hours should more than suffice for a trip or your daily needs. All in all i think its a great buy and i am nothing short of very happy with the purchase...

Summary: Nice!!
Review: This player is far and away a better deal than an iPod. My only complaints are that you cannot see the screen when it is in the case. A case with a window would be a welcome addition. I am also disappointed with the battery life, four hours at best. Fortunately, it's easy to get a new battery. But that shouldn't be necessary for a unit which is only three months old. Sound quality and volume are great. I have no complaints with any other aspect.

Summary: Pure Garbage
Review: This thing is terrible. Stay away!!! I bought it and promptly returned it ASAP. It feels like it's made out of tin foil. The navigation dial is unusable. Playing songs is almost impossible. The software that is bundled with it froze up my computer again and again. Attractive looking, 30 gigs, good price, (seems to good to be true) well you're right. This aint no Ipod!!! Save up for a few more months and get the real thing. I did.

Summary: HORRIBLE DEVICE --- Hated It!
Review: This was awful. I had it for two months before it would just FREEZE for no apparent reason. The headphone jack was always a bit sensitive, in fact often making songs sound one dimensional. Thought I was saving money but in fact I am now out $268. DO NOT BUY...

Summary: Great player
Review: Was trying to decide between this player and an IPod. Went with the Nomad because you get a bigger hard drive for less, and I can't be happier with the decision. I had no problems setting up software or transferring my CDs to unit. Sound quality is fantastic. Would highly recommend product to anyone looking for a hard drive mp3 player.
