i would recommend this product to anyone .

before asking for the zen xtra specifically for christmas i researched many different mp3 players but finally decided on this one , and now that i have it i could n 't be happier and i 'm convinced it 's the best one out there .
1
positive
many people have written about the software being its one downfall , personally i have n 't had a single problem with the software , i 'm running windows me .
1
positive
the cd ripping to mp3 is so easy , and you can even rip the cd directly to the mp3 player , so it wo n 't take up space on your pc hard drive .
1
positive
the controls on the player are very simple , no need for a manual .
1
positive
the player is fast and sounds great , it also has many options like slowing or speeding up the music , or making it sound like you 're hearing the music in a huge auditorium .
1
positive
the battery lasts very long when playing music , but writing files to the player drains the battery fast , so you need to have it plugged into an outlet when sending files .
1
positive
playlists can be made on the fly , without aid of a computer , and you can use play modes like shuffle and repeat for your ' now playing ' selections or playlists .
1
positive
the software could n 't be better and the mp3 player works like a dream , i could n 't give this anything but a 5 , i wish there was a 6 .
1
positive
it is an extremely cool cozmo .
1
positive
well i have to say that this product is very good i mean it might be a little big but it still fits in your pocket .
1
positive
well surely this is a product that i recommend someone in getting rather than any other mp3 player ( at that size and the price ) .
1
positive
not only is it more affordable , but its a better player for windows , which is what i have .
1
positive
it has n't gone below the second notch ( i charge mine whenever i 'm at home and not using it ) , so the battery life seems fine ( so far ) .
1
positive
it 's easy .
1
positive
the buttons are easy to use , and its easy to navigate .
1
positive
the big backlight makes things easy to see , and the writing is big enough for people to see .
1
positive
sound quality is amazing . i was expecting worse , but its really good ( especially if your files have good sound quality ) .
1
positive
you can also slow a song down & speed it up , which is cool too .
1
positive
also , you can store data on it , which is a plus . for all you people who want to buy an ipod just to say you have an ipod , do n 't bother , this is a much better buy .
1
positive
first i 'll start off by saying that this players hardware is pretty good . . .
1
positive
while the ease of use was very impressive , i was put off by the price -- about $ 130 more than what i paid amazon for this player .
1
positive
i have had the nomad jukebox for about three weeks now , and i am very happy with it .
1
positive
the storage capacity is great for me --
1
positive
the bottom line for me is that i am very happy with this product .
1
positive
a lot of people complain about the creative software , but i actually find creative mediasource organizer to have some strengths over itunes .
1
positive
first , the zen lets you sync to more than one computer .
1
positive
the zen is an outstanding way to shuttle music between sources , you can 't do this on the ipod ( except for a cumbersome work-around using the ipod as a hard drive instead of a player ) .
1
positive
second , the `` automatic `` sync on creative lets you review the songs before it begins its transfer .
1
positive
the zen serves as a back-up device as well as a player .
1
positive
third , creative software allows you to keep two windows open to look at both the content on the player and the computer .
1
positive
for those of us that like to tinker , i think creative offers some advantages .
1
positive
it also lets you remove songs from the play order .
1
positive
if you bring up an album , but absolutely hate some of the tracks , the zen will allow you to delete that from the playing order .
1
positive
its ability to serve as a back-up for my music collection is a huge plus .
1
positive
the software is quick & easy to use & i found the entire process very easily mastered .
1
positive
the unit works great with my cassette adapter for my car & is also easily worked without taking your eyes off the road ! .
1
positive
overall it is a great unit & hopefully creative labs or some other vendor will soon come out with some accessories for it .
1
positive
this did n 't bother me too much because it 's still a decent size .
1
positive
extremely convenient .
1
positive
great price .
1
positive
i thought the software was decent enough - it was n 't complicated to learn at all .
1
positive
i 'm really happy with this purchase .
1
positive
now he res the stuff you should know starting with the good things : the screen is really big and the blue light in the back is perfect , fast as hell in music transfer , controls are easy to use after mastering the scroll button , great sound and ive heard many mp3 players , a ton of different equalizer type deals on here .
1
positive
ive seen em all , the archos , dell , ipods , everything . . . good price and great sound makes this one the best in my opinion .

* price and capacity
1
positive
* slick-looking design and improved interface
1
positive
* removable battery
1
positive
despite its being slightly larger than the ipod , i must say i was surprised to see how small it was when i unwrapped the box ! .
1
positive
i am ripping my cd collection into 160 kbps wma files ; . this gives an average of around 60-65 mb per cd , good for about 900 cds in the ~ 57 , 000 mb of free memory available to me .
1
positive
file transfers are fast , nearly a song per second via usb 2 . 0 .
1
positive
to my ears , a 160 kbps wma file sounds just as good as the source cd , and the zen xtra sounds just as good as a portable cd player .
1
positive
i have been ripping songs into it for the past few weeks , and the ease of use is wonderful .
1
positive
the memory will hold an amazing amount of songs , my entire collection of cd 's will all fit on this great little tiny piece of digital fun .
1
positive
plusses are the easy to remove battery and the terrific sound produced by the nomad .
1
positive
ripping the songs , even with my 1 . 1 usb connection is still very quick , and the quality is very good .
1
positive
considering the price and specs , this might be the best buy out there for a large memory mp3 player .
1
positive
it 's really a shame , because otherwise , creative mp3 players are very good , and have the best sound quality of any players on the market .
1
positive
after some consideration i chose the 40gb nomad zen xtra from creative , and i have not been disappointed .
1
positive
first , the battery is replacable by the user , because creative intended it to be - unlike apple with the ipod .
1
positive
it was easy enough to remove the front plate , and there was only one way the battery could be inserted .
1
positive
the new organizer software that ships with the nomad zen xtra could n 't be easier to use .
1
positive
you can create playlists , drag & drop songs and playlists to your player , and rip directly from cd to your player .
1
positive
and with usb 2 . 0 , transferring music to your player is incredibly easy .
1
positive
the sound is great , and the volume is more than satisfactory for commutes and shutting out external noise .
1
positive
they could be more comfortable , but no complaints in the sound department .
1
positive
i 've played around with the equalizer settings and am satisfied at the range of choices i have there too .
1
positive
1 . i achieved my basic objective ; . my entire cd collection is on a portable device with lots of room to store more .
1
positive
the zen has minimal stoppage between tracks ; . when listening to music that continues from one track to the next the gap is just a hesitation - a slightly audible click ; . if i am not listening for the progress from one track to the next i do n 't even notice the click .
1
positive
given that i already have the zen the only reason i am happy with it is because of the notmad software .
1
positive
now that i own it , however , i can 't imagine being without it ! .
1
positive
i have stored around 60 cd 's ( at 160kbps ) on this and have barely touched the available memory .
1
positive
the sound quality is fantastic ( cd quality ) and it is really great to carry this around instead of stacks of cd 's or tapes ! .
1
positive
it is exceedingly simple to navigate around in this device .
1
positive
one other plus is that napster now supports this device via their software .
1
positive
+ i had no problem using musicmatch software already on my computer to load songs and albums onto this unit
1
positive
+ / - sound quality was good but it was going to take some tweaking with settings to try to make it great .
1
positive
the player is intuitive and outputs great sound quality .
1
positive
i love this player and am extremely happy with my decision .
1
positive
the price / performance looked just right .
1
positive
i did buy the notmad software a week ago and found that a vast improvement .
1
positive
1 ) great sound ( > 98db signal-to-noise ratio beats ipod 's `` unspecified `` ratio ) and good power output allow the zen xtra to drive large head-phones as well as external speakers .
1
positive
with my sennheiser 497 headphones , the volume is loud enough at 12 ( max is 20 ) .
1
positive
2 ) the player user interface ( ui ) is intuitive to use , and allows easy navigation of a large or small collection .
1
positive
3 ) the nomad explorer ( winxp style interface ) works well to transfer files back and forth to use the nomad as an external although the tech support web-site states that the primary intended purpose of the player is as a player .
1
positive
the nomad explorer provide most of the functionality offered by 3rd party programs like notmad .
1
positive
4 ) usb 2 . 0 means fast data transfers ( 1 song / sec ! . ) .
1
positive
5 ) the cheap , user-replaceable battery ( $ 50 from creative ) is a great advantage over the ipod 's battery which costs $ 100 to replace .
1
positive
6 ) excellent battery life - 14 hours beats ipod 's .
1
positive
7 ) chic look and good build - the player comes in a compact form with a metal face plate .
1
positive
i use it primarily in the provided protective case although i have dropped it about 3 feet from my desk ( by accident ) as well as have played it outdoors in - 30 fahrenheit weather ( by design ) and it has continued to work fine .
1
positive
b . fast mediasource cd ripping - takes about 40 seconds for a cd on my pentium 4 pc ( 2 . 4 hz with 1gb ram ) with 52x drive .
1
positive
c . i do love audio sync which allows a one-click synchronization between the player and the music collection on the computer .
1
positive
9 ) wake-up feature that allows you to set up the player to wake up and play selected music at a specified time .
1
positive
7 ) some people have problems with the flip switch on the bottom that releases the player cover - has not been an issue for me and is immaterial if you use the case as the case covers the switch .
1
positive
can 't beat carrying 500-cd collection with me wherever i go .
1
positive
i felt better with this one since it had the shuffle feature and i 'm not too keen on www . ipod 's dirty secret . com .
1
positive
replacement battery is $ 50 compared to ipod 's $ 150 .
1
positive
i loved this product when i first got it - great sound , easy to use ( even though i agree that the software was n 't the best ) and held enough songs to suit any mood .
