Super Compact MP3 Players With USB Flash Drive Functionality Feature Backlit LCD, Built-in Microphone and M-PORT Compatibility for Seamless Speaker Connectivity

"The revolutionary NOMAD MuVo MP3 player and USB flash drive all-in-one set an industry standard," said Lisa O'Malley, senior brand manager for portable audio products at Creative. "Others have tried to imitate the concept, but the NOMAD MuVo is the only player that delivers what consumers want and continues to set the standard for quality, ease-of-use and versatility. With the introduction of the NOMAD MuVo NX we've built even further on that success by adding a cool blue backlit LCD, a built-in microphone for voice recording, and a 256MB model to hold up to eight hours of music."

The lightweight NOMAD MuVo NX is so easy to use and durable it can be taken wherever one goes, and since the player features solid-state construction the user will never worry about music skipping during playback. This makes the NOMAD MuVo NX a perfect companion for any activity -- just strap the player into the bundled sports armband and enjoy. Each NOMAD MuVo NX also ships with an extra body casing accessory so that users can easily switch the color of their player whenever they choose. NOMAD MuVo NX 128MB users can dress their player in silver or dark red, while NOMAD MuVo NX 256MB users can select charcoal or sky blue. Multiple body casing accessories in fashionable colors will also be available separately so that users can change the color of their NOMAD MuVo NX at any time to match their outfit or their attitude.

The blue, backlit LCD on the NOMAD MuVo NX displays full song information from ID3 tags and shows track number, play time, play mode and EQ setting. It's easy to select favorite songs and set play modes, such as Shuffle and Resume, with the scroller button. With the built-in microphone, users can also record over 16 hours of live audio -- use it to record quick reminders, or hours of notes, lectures and conversations.

Like the original NOMAD MuVo, the NOMAD MuVo NX does not require cables and conveniently doubles as a USB flash drive. Just slide the player apart, plug it directly into the computer's USB port, and it will be automatically recognized as a removable drive. Users can transfer any file type from their PC onto the NOMAD MuVo NX and vice versa with simple drag and drop functionality. The 256MB NOMAD MuVo NX can hold up to 176 floppies worth of data, which can be transferred onto the player ten times faster than possible when using a floppy. The NOMAD MuVo NX can also be connected directly to Creative speaker systems with an M-PORT interface, such as the new Creative I-Trigue(TM) L3500 and Creative I-Trigue L3450, for instant music playback.

True to Creative's rich audio heritage, the NOMAD MuVo NX boasts superior audio quality with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 90dB -- incredible sound quality that rivals players many times its size. The NOMAD MuVo NX can play uninterrupted high-quality music for up to 11 hours on just one AAA alkaline battery.

Although the NOMAD MuVo NX does not require software, the player comes bundled with Creative MediaSource(TM) for consumers who may have never used MP3 or WMA files before. MediaSource is a full MP3 and WMA ripping and organizing application with a fresh, clean interface. The easy to use MediaSource application includes everything needed to convert a CD collection into a portable digital library that can be transferred easily to the NOMAD MuVo NX and taken wherever one goes.
