Great Player.... some small glitches.......2004-08-23

Bought this unit about 2 years ago. Works great though I knew that some day I would hit the 10 GB limit and want more space.
This finally happened about a month ago, but now I find it fun to prune away the not-so-good tracks.

The only problem I've had is that the unit would sometimes power off and reboot when connected to the PC and running on battery power. I figure this happens when the battery is below 20% and is fine on AC power.

Another thing, sometimes the file format corrupts and it tries to fix this by Rebuilding Library. Sometimes this works and sometimes not.

There is a way to boot into a secret maintenance mode that allows you to run some tools like Format HD, Rebuild library,
which has always fixed this for me (happened maybe 3 times since
I got it). You have to hold down some buttons while booting...
(look for this on the net)

I'm a techie type so I can accept this rare occurence.

So on the whole I love this player !!!

Great Player for the price........2004-03-11

I bought this mp3 player because i needed something mighty. I needed something to store all my music. And this little monster did it all. It is a bit big. But that's about it. If you think that the battery lifes is not what it should and you want longer battery life, turn the backlight off. It's easily made in the menu. Then your batterylife lasts longer. I have no problems with this one. Just this: If you connect your player to your computer and you notice that the battery life decreases in very short time, do this: Take Out the Battery and shut the hatch. Now connect the powercable to your player and it should go on automaticly. You will then notice that a different icon appears on the left of the down of the screen. That's the icon for telling you the player runs from the power from the wall socket. Then plug it in to the computer and no battery life will be taken. Very Good player !!!

Not Bad.......2003-11-24

This product worked very well for the first couple months that i had it. However, now i am having extreme difficulty in operating it. It began while i was loading an mp3 from my computer to the player. About half-way through my power went out for a mere second or two, causing my computer to restart. I have tried using the restart button, but that has had no effect. If anyone knows how to fix this please e-mail me at Nyranger72@aol.com.
Other then my problem though i would recommend this product to anyone. A friend of mine has the same product and his is working exceptionaly well.

DO NOT BUY!.......2003-11-06

My unit lastest six months. After that, it would not hold a charge. Only way to use it was to have it plugged into an outlet. Tech support says my warranty is for 90 days and that the battery should last a few years, I could try to fix it by buying another battery for $49.95. If not, I was told I have myself "a nice paperweight". Will never buy another product from this company!!!!!

Best of the bunch.......2003-10-27

I bought my NOMAD almost 2 years ago and it's performed flawlessly. It holds my entire 300 CD collection. The software that comes with it is much easier to use then any of the Rio/Music Match products. My brother, a computer moron, has picked up and used this with no problems. Therefore, anyone should be able to use it. The only feature that I would like to see is a shuffle/random play function. But overall, this is a great product.

Good For A Large Collection.......2004-03-05

My first portable MP3 player was the Rio Volt. What a piece of junk. So I bought this Nomad Jukebox 10GB player. I don't have 10GB of MP3s in my music collection, but I'm pretty close. With these hard drive-based MP3 players, I was under the impression you could just connect it to your computer, have it show up as a removable drive in Explorer, and just copy over the files. On the contrary, you have to start some bloated software to connect to the Nomad and copy the files over. Unfortunately, navigating a large collection with the Nomad is difficult. For example, you can't organize the files into folders on the original Jukebox models. Fortunately, the computer software does make it a tad easier to create playlists than on the Jukebox alone.

Battery life is short...maybe 4 hours using AA rechargeables. The power adapter doesn't seem to charge them very well, so I use an external battery charger. At least it doesn't use a proprietary battery like the iPod. I've dropped the unit a couple of times. The unit shuts itself off, but I was able to turn it back on with no problems.

If you need to carry your extensive music collection every where you go, the Nomad Jukebox is a good choice. I absolutely recommend you go to nomadworld.com and upgrade the firmware to 4.1. You will have fewer problems. Also, stay away from the Nomad bloatware. There is a freeware app called "MP3-Library" that works very well with the original Jukebox. If you have a the Jukebox 2 or 3, look into Notmad Explorer (redchairsoftware.com) which allows you to move files to and fro in Windows Explorer. It costs a little, but the software is updated every 2 weeks or so with new features and the updates are free forever. Also check out nomadness.net for underground info on your Nomad.

Personally, the volume isn't loud enough to hear over my lawn mower or whatever when doing chores. The Nomad takes a good minute or two to start up which is slower than my computer. I'm constantly rotating in and out the songs I listen to. It takes about as long to copy the files over to Jukebox as it does to burn a CD, so I think I am going back to a MP3 CD solution (Samsung MCD-HM200). It's easier to use and cheaper, so I won't cry when it breaks.

A review for the reviews........2003-11-25

Seeing that the reviews here are all really good, or really bad, let me explain. I bought this a short time ago,and have had no serious issues with it at this point. Battery life is only about 4 hours, which is about right when you consider they're running a hard drive (moving part, always uses more power.). Second, transferring music. It can be a little confusing to get your mp3's transferred over, but once you figure it out, it really isn't too difficult at all. Sound quality is excellent, and while some reviews may sway you away from the products, Creative Labs tends to make an excellent line of audio products. I'd say this product is worth buying, at the very least if you see it on sale...and don't worry too much about those who blasted it with just one star...most likely frustrated "Newbies".

Better than i expected.......2003-11-19

I thought this would be a very hard to use player. i was wrong. i have never seen anything easier. the menus are easy to make and the songs are very easy to navigate through. also the space is enormous. compared to other mp3 players i would definitely say that this is the best. using this you don't have to carry all the cds around.

Low or no battery.......2003-10-19

Seeing as I have a large CD collection (250+), it's difficult for me to decide what I'd like to listen to on the bus that goes to and from school. I saw an ad for Future Shop. They said that going back to school is the day you "put 150 albums in the palm of your hand." I thought that was cool, but Future Shop had no idea what it was, maybe a burner. How can you hold 150 albums in just one burner, anyway? I found out later that this machine was an mp3 player, and, using my birthday money, I got it. Disasters kept striking when we tried to set it up. Eventually, it works and now I have something to amuse myself on the long bus rides for Ladner or North Delta. My only complaints would be that it doesn't have enough room for ALL the CDs I like, and has very short battery life.

Simply awful.......2003-10-16

Like many people, I resent shelling out my hard earned money for something which it seems has been designed to be a disposable commodity like an old video cassette tape, which this product clearly has.
Creative have produced an apparently amazing concept without listening to the customer...hmmm, now there's a surprise, another corporation ripping off people with products with short shelf-lives, built no doubt by cheap foreign labour and sold at staggeringly high profits. Sound familiar? Just look around...
This product was ok to begin with, but performance tailed off quickly as soon as the warranty expired...coincidence? You decide.
Creative have seen the last of my money, and I hope others arent as easily conned into buying the latest must-have gizmo like I unfortunately was. My advice? Go with the Ipod, and lets see Creative try being creative with their accounts as their profits disintegrate like one of their poorly assembled products. The revolution starts here!

Reliable, yet want more.......2006-02-15

I bought this network starter kit because it was the cheapest at my nearest RadioShack (sorry, Amazon) and I was surprised at its quality.

The software was a little weird to contend with, but after the initial setup, everything went over rather well - the networking DHCP setup can get technical and require that you know SOMETHING about networking, but if you are just looking for something to link up your desktop pc to your laptop pc, then this is DEFINITELY the kit you are looking for. Although it is worth mentioning that I have used this router with seven laptops and a desktop (our own little LAN party) simultaneously, as well as with three PSP for wireless connectivity, and everything handled flawlessly...careful with the driver CDs though - this unit comes with 3 separate CDs. My only problem is that I now have a network card I have no use for...suggestions?

Product Description

The Minolta Maxxum STsi Panorama DATE offers some major advantages over even the most advanced point-and-shoot compact camera. The first is versatility. The Maxxum STsi is part of the world-renowned Maxxum system of autofocus SLR cameras, lenses, and accessories. The STsi can accept any Maxxum or Minolta AF lens, ranging from ultra-wide-angle 16mm fisheye to 600mm super telephoto, including zoom and macro lenses. This interchangeable lens versatility enables a quality, diversity, and style of photography that is not possible with any type of point-and-shoot camera. Additionally, the STsi can accept Maxxum's high-power accessory flash units, which provide the extensive and flexible flash coverage that's also impossible with a point-and-shoot camera.Another SLR advantage is through-the-lens (TTL) viewing. You see just what the lens sees. There is no need to make approximate parallax adjustments when framing the image. What you see is what you get. And because you're looking through the lens, you see the autofocusing as fast as it happens, so you know your subject will be sharp. A third SLR advantage is higher performance. The Maxxum STsi has a much more sophisticated autofocus and autoexposure system than a point and shoot camera, and this sophistication can easily be seen in the resulting photographs. Plus, because of the autoexposure system's flexibility, the STsi can accept the widest choice of 35mm films imaginable (ISO 25 - 5000, print or slide film, color or black and white). There is a wealth of information available on the uses and advantages of different film speeds and types. The Maxxum STsi will allow you to expand your photographic capabilities with lenses, flashes, and accessories as your interest in photography grows. It is a camera you'll want to keep for years to come.
