 Creative is Cooler than Ipod December 11, 2009
Shareallicu
Why do people drool over the ipod. It is a horrible design, IMO. :)
I have had my Zen since 2004 and it is still working just as nicely as the first day I bought it. Back then it was only about $100 too :)
I keep the cover that came with it on it and listen to my music both actively as well as, sitting in one place. It freezes once in a while, but I keep a needle stuck inside the case to hit the reset button with; very convenient!
I Love my Zen and would not even consider buying an overpriced, overly advertised iPod, as long as Creative makes such awesome MP3 players. Unfortunately, Creative is designing some of their new MP3 players after the iPod. I hope Creative keep making players in their own design also, for the customers who love it.
I can't believe I spent about $100 for this player and can sell it for about $100, 4 1/2 years later! :) But I wouldn't.
 A Good Old School MP3 October 16, 2009
Lee (Brooklyn NY)
The Creative Nomad JB is a very good "Old School" MP3 player. I've had mine for a few years now ... That said it still performs as well as the day I purchased it. It isn't laying around collecting dust, I have it connected to my Yamaha Home Theater receiver with many of my favorite songs downloaded onto it. I used XP to download the music, good luck if you try it with Vista. Although the Namad JB is considered bulky by today's standards it makes a great back-up for music and sounds like a charm once hooked up to a good receiver. To add, it's rugged and has longevity.
The "Brick" Lives on August 7, 2009
S. Hayward (PA, USA)
I was pleasently suprised to see these still available for sale. Yes some people will say it's a brick or that it's outdated but I shall say this.
I'm on my second of these players (first took a dip in a pond after 2 months - replacement paid for by person who threw me in)which has been with me since 1994, and is still going strong. I like it's "brick" design, I'm not generally rough on electronics but this goes with me everywhere, and I am pretty active (though it will be said this one took a trip off a large cliff on to sand and survived). The weight to me is a comfort, certain activities I don't even notice when music stops say from an album finishing but if it stops because I drop it, the sudden missing weight alerts me.
The firware is a little old and the interface simple, but for me thats fine, I want it to play music, no games, no bells and whistles. All that battery life for just music. Which is another good point about this player, I've never had any problem with battery life. Even now after use everyday since 2004 I still get the full life.
On top of this the sound quality when coupled with good headphones is nice, good range, clear and crisp. EAX is a nice function but drains batteries fast, however when running from AC adapter is a nice funcionality to have for some instances.
Should you choose to buy one you surely will not be dissapointed. I wasn't and still am not, I'm considering buying another for work.. after all no one wants to steal the brick
5 Years On & Still Rocking March 24, 2009

I'm gonna get straight to the point. I bought my Nomad in 8th grade, in 2004. I'm now a freshman in college, and it is still going strong. I replaced the battery about two years ago, but they player is over five years old now, and still operates perfectly. That's saying something, because it's been through hell since then. The thing lived through high school! It looks beat up, with scratches and dents all over the aluminum cover, which no doubt protected it from many, many drops and falls, some of which were from heights of at least three feet. The screen still glows blue, & the sound quality still sounds great. There's a big chunk of plastic missing from the bottom corner where it fell off my kitchen counter about a year ago, but that hasn't slowed it down at all. It's become a part of my group of friends, known only as The Brick. Many people ask me if it is a cassette player.
Suffice to say that if you need a cheap, reliable mp3 player that can hold everything and the kitchen sink but still be portable, this is the one for you. I've only had to reset it a handful of times, usually after an especially rough shake or drop.
 horribly outdated February 12, 2009

I can't believe Creative is still manufacturing these. This was my first MP3 player... BACK IN 2004! five years ago, and they haven't touched the clunky setup, tiny screen, or gameboy graphics. they haven't even come up with a slimmer model! That would MAYBE be worth 100 bucks.
You might as well just spend a little more and invest in a nano or something similar. Ipods are pretty reliable and apple's customer service is excellent. Plus, It'll last you a lot longer and nobody will make fun of you.
