I purchased tis model-albeit the 60gb version in what must be over 3/4 years ago now...at the time it was the newst, biggest etc. and although it wasn't as dear as the popularised ipods it is FAr better i reckon. I've borrowed an ipod so i can compare and i'd say without doubt this is the best mp3 player i've ever owned/borrowed/used etc. 40 Gb or 60 if you have the one i have,is a LOT of memory to play with for songs...i have over 1390 songs on mine and there is still lots of space left...considering i buy a lot of albums and put them on the nomad-i still believe it will last me for life-the sound quailty is superb(even with dodgy OLD mp3 songs), its very sturdy and hard wearing and mine is still going strong after 3 or 4 years and despite being dropped on several occassions still works as new! It has only crashed once in 4 years ...
Advantages: Better than the I-Pod Disadvantages: A bit brick-like
Well this is my first step outside of the music reviewing, like a fish out of water, like a sausage in a vegetarians diet here I am with a review of my MP3 player.
The player is 30GB, holds about 16000 songs (depending on the song quality you have e.g. 96kbps or 320kbps).
My own experience of this MP3 player is a long and troubled one. I recieved it for Christmas (thanks to Mum & Dad for that one) and subsequently stuck my entire collection of music on to there. This is where I encountered my first problem, after I had transferred the first 200 songs onto there, a box came up saying that it has encountered a problem, it subsequently closed. That annoyed me as I had to go through the rigmarole of getting all the songs again. That is the only time it has happened so it must have just been a one-off.
For the next two months I ...
When searching for an MP3 player last year I realised I couldn't afford one which could store my whole music collection. That is, until I found this gem tucked away on eBay. I couldn't believe my luck!
The Nomad has all the features of its competitors at a snip of the price. What's more, the service I experienced while purchasing the product was first class. I couldn't have asked for more!
The process of transferring files to the player is quick and easy-peasy - literally a few clicks on the mouse and it swallows your record collection in no time. Choose your song by artist, album, genre or simply track name. Let it choose songs for you at random for a more varied playlist. Or create your own! All these features are so easy to use, especially with the Nomad's tiny scrolling wheel to browse through your library.
And the player ...
