Creative Nomad Jukebox ZEN XTRA 40 GB > Reviews

Advantages: huge space, intuitive menus
Disadvantages: random play seems to be limited

I've had a Zen Xtra for around two years now and although I havent thoroughly broused through the plethora of mp3 players available on the market in the same price range I'm pretty sure this is one of the better ones. One reason for this is that people who come to my house and flick through my music collection trying to find something to play (I have it hooked up via a line-in to my stereo most of the time), many of them iPod owners, often remark ...

Advantages: Massive storage, Excellent sound quality, Great features
Disadvantages: No driverless operation, Controls can be fiddly, No folder support for music

The Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra is an amazing piece of technology. It is currently the largest capacity MP3 jukebox on the market and yet still manages to fit into all but the smallest of pockets. Technology: The Zen Xtra has a huge 60GB hard drive at its heart - that's half the size of my standard computer hard drive so it can easily fit almost anyone's entire music collection onto it. The blurb on the box says 16000 songs, but this is ... Read review

Advantages: large memory, easy to use
Disadvantages: not mac compatible, bit chunky

...I would still choose the Creative player. The reason I love the player so much is because of how easy it is to use. The large screen and scroll wheel make manoveuring around the player very simple, personally I organise all my music into albums, so it looks more organised and makes finding tracks easy. However, you can also scroll through tracks by artist and genre, and look at each track individually. The search function is easy to use, and the ... Read review

Advantages: huge storage space
Disadvantages: little on the bulky side

...a while now and that Creative are bringing out there newest Muvo as i type but to me if Apple can bring out and iPod a quater the size of the Nomad on the first attempt then surly Creative could have scaled down ther behemoth alittle. Memory 40 gig do i need say more (AMAZING AND FAST) Pc Interface On usb 2 this maching seriously smokes downloads are fast (1.5 gig in less than 70 seconds) Windows Xp finds the device ...

Advantages: 40GB Harddrive allows for loads of storage
Disadvantages: A bit on the quiet side

...had to look on the creative website which is much better than the instruction book and I wish I had looked there before i started to use the player. The quality of the sound is very good but the volume of the sound lets this player down. There are several standard sound settings or you can make your own custom setting, according to the genre of music you are listening to. You can save a playlist and it's settings so that it will remember the next ... Read review

Advantages: Huge capacity, ease of use, price
Disadvantages: slightly chunky, over-long headphones

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent value for money, Reliable, 40GB storage, USB 2.0 support, Looks Good, Brillant device.
Disadvantages: Larger than some other mp3 players, Driver dependant.

Originally I was going to save up and buy an iPod, but after reading LOTS of internet reviews I decided that this would be a better choice as it was both cheaper and had EAX audio! The only thing I was worried about was the fact that many online reviewers had mentioned their mp3 players braking or arriving to them in non-working order. Well, It's nearly a year later and my mp3 player still works absolutely fine, despite me accidently dropping it ... Read review

Advantages: looks amazing, good features, space and light. great sound quality
Disadvantages: scroll buttona bit annoying sometimes, battery life a little short

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 ...

Advantages: Space for up to 10,000 songs, quick song transfer via USB 2.0
Disadvantages: Larger then some newer mp3 players

I bought a Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra a little over a year ago and am very pleased that I did. Now when I have to travel anywhere I can take my whole CD collection with me. The software is very simple to use and songs can easily be copied from a CD or uploaded from a computer hard drive, and the transfer process is very quick, thanks to USB 2.0. I have not had any problems with this mp3 player, the battery life is good (I used it continuously on a ... Read review

Advantages: Holds lots of music
Disadvantages: Is rather bulky

I own one of these..and I have to say, its not bad, it holds all my music (and more!) is very easy to upload music on to, and easy to control. However, the size isn't great, its not the kind of thing you can slip into your pocket and take on a walk or to the gym, but if like me, you use it at work, its great as it can hold MANY songs that will keep you entertained, and can be left on your desk. The battery lasts about ten hours on mine, which is ... Read review

Advantages: It's the best MP3 playes you can ever whish.
Disadvantages: Meanwhile I can't afford it here (in israel) because it costs more than 500$ :-O

I simply LOVE it, it plays the best sound i've ever heard yet (but that depands on the headphones, too, of-couse...), it's even possible to download songs from the internet right on the MP3 player. It's easy to use (Just look in the manual you recieve with it what each button do, and that's pretty much it [with the assumption that you know how to work with USB, otherwise, read it all] ). Last but not least, if you are capable affording it, I would ... Read review
