Priced at Only US$249.99, NOMAD Jukebox 2 Boasts Incredible 16-hour Battery Life and Ultra-Fast Transfers

October, 16, 2002 - Creative Technology Ltd., the worldwide leader in digital entertainment products for PC users, today announced the NOMAD® Jukebox 2, its first MP3 player with ultra-fast USB 2.0 connectivity. The NOMAD Jukebox 2 features a 10GB storage capacity to hold over 2,000 MP3 songs or 4,000 WMA songs and incredible battery life with 16 hours of playtime away from the PC from a single charge—4 to 6 hours more than other hard drive MP3 players. The NOMAD Jukebox 2 is now shipping at an estimated street price of US$249.99.

"With the introduction of NOMAD Jukebox 2, Creative rounds out its family of MP3 players," said Lisa O'Malley, brand manager for NOMAD products at Creative Labs. "Because USB 2.0 is backward compatible, the NOMAD Jukebox 2 can be enjoyed with any PC. Consumers have the option of using ultra-fast USB 2.0 connectivity or ubiquitous USB 1.1 connectivity—all in a product offered at a great value."

Like Creative's award-winning NOMAD Jukebox 3 and the recently announced NOMAD Jukebox Zen, the sleek NOMAD Jukebox 2 boasts exceptional audio quality with a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 98dB. The AudioSync™ function enables users to synchronize their music files between multiple PCs and the NOMAD Jukebox 2. A Scroller wheel and handy Find feature allow easy navigation through music collections, and also enable users to create and edit playlists on-the-fly. Powerful EAX® audio technology includes 4 band custom equalization, Smart Volume Management™ to match volume variations across tracks, and environmental effects to enhance music. Data transfer and storage functionality also enable the player to store, manage, and transport photo, text and video files.
