Consumer review (epinions.com)

big, ugly, and functional

 

When I decided it was time to catch up with normal society and invest in a high capacity mp3 player, i was stunned at the prices especially for the apple gold standard ipod. 300 dollars and up seemed to be the starting point until I read an add for a ...

Great Player, but a little bulky

 

When I got the Zen Xtra it was my third mp3 player. I started with a RioPMP300 32MB which held 8 or 9 songs, more if you didn’t care about sound quality and encoded them at a lower bitrate. Needless to say that when I got the Zen Xtra I was amazed at...

Large Capacity, Good Battery Life, Fast Transfers

Doesn't Charge via USB, Bulky Compared to Modern Players

Hot to fix the Creative Nomad Jukebox ZEN Xtra MP3 player

 

I purchased this Creative Nomad Jukebox ZEN Xtra MP3 player 30 Gigabyte two and half years ago and it has worked perfect. I just couldn't bring myself to buying an ipod. They were over $150.00 more for the 30 gigabyte and I wanted something less ...

Easy to use and fix this player

No car charger ever to be found

Nice features, nice price!

 

I really like the Zen Jukebox. I've had one for about three years now with no complaints. The case is stylish and compact. It appears very sturdy. Unlike a lot of its competitors, Creative actually includes a padded case with the initial purchase. ...

Price, case included, durable, easy UI

Not quite as good as iPod

Mine lasted for just 15 months! Lousy support. Poor Quality

 

I made a terrible mistake. Basically, I spent too much money on a device that worked for just 15 months (not a good investment). And, I really babied the thing. Although the device is probably cheaper price-wise than its competition, my experience...

Good Storage for the price; sound is good; good interface

Intermittent failure to start. Absolutely terrible support model. Poor quality. Don't do it

Exactly what I was looking for.

 

I'm going away for a couple of months and didn't want to take my entire CD collection with me. I wanted an mp3 player that I could transfer from and to without worrying about losing files. I researched on this site and chose the Creative Nomad Zen Xtra...

Super easy to transfer music, no loss worries, light and small

Alphabetical song listing. Has frozen twice but reset button fixed that instantly

Hard to use at every point.

 

I bought this MP3 for Christmas and returned it by Valentines Day. I had been downloading music from itunes.com and wanted a way of taking my music with me. I had been burning them to CD's up until then but could only get about 15 - 20 songs on a CD. ...

30 mb hard drive. Lower cost then ipod

hard to use, locks up easy, huge earphones

I still have it and Love it better then the stuff that is out today

 

Update: Wow the time went by... Still have it, although I have replaced it for a smaller one but I still love this one for the majority of my music needs. Still pops but battery life is the same. It has a few scratches and I dont know how many times I ...

Cheap! Reliable! and Better Then the Ipod

Software Still Needs Work, Occasional Pop

An amazing player if you can live with the interface

 

The Creative Nomad Zen Xtra MP3 Jukebox is actually an amazing MP3 player, if you can forgive its relatively large size (when compared to the iPod) and clunky user interface (again, when compared to the iPod). Not only does it have SUPERB sound...

Amazing features, unique functions, great sound quality

Jog dial doesn't scroll very fast, reported quality control issues

Only Two Virtues...

 

I bought this because my 196 MB flash based player requires too much loading/unloading to keep the music fresh for commutes and workouts. Also, I love my buddy's iPod, but wanted to save some $$$. It had great sound quality (better than my flash ...

Sound quality and storage per price can't be beat

Terrible form factor, controls, software
