Compact NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX 20GB and 30GB Models With Sleek, Silver and White Design Carry Up to 1,000 Hours of Music

"The slimmed down and super cool-looking NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX with 30GB is only US$299.99, a 40% lower price than the Apple iPod 30GB model," said Lisa O'Malley, senior brand manager for portable audio products at Creative. "With the introduction of the NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX, Creative now offers 20GB, 30GB and 60GB models of its popular NOMAD Jukebox Zen. Creative was the first to develop cutting-edge features such as creating playlists while away from the PC and AudioSync(TM), for uploading, downloading and synchronizing music between multiple PCs. Now we continue to innovate with even more functionality by including new features such as the Sleep Timer and Wake to Music modes for convenience whether traveling or at home."

The sleek, silver and white NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX makes a stunning match with the cool new Creative I-Trigue(TM) L3450 speakers -- connect the Zen to the I-Trigue speakers for a visually pleasing, great-sounding audio system that looks like it should cost hundreds of dollars more.

The NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX is the first hard drive MP3 player to ship with Creative MediaSource(TM), an easy to use music ripping and organizing program with a fresh, clean interface. Consumers can use Creative MediaSource to convert their entire collection of CDs into a digital library that can be transferred easily to the NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX and taken wherever they go.

The stylish NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX can store up to 8,000 songs and supports WMA and MP3 formats. Users can take massive amounts of music on the go and enjoy high-fidelity playback at 98dB SNR for up to 14 hours on one full battery charge. Since the high-capacity Li-Ion battery is removable, users who opt to purchase an additional battery can extend music play time even further.

While on the go, it's easy to create and edit playlists and search through music libraries using Quick Scroller Navigation. With the Find function, users can locate tracks in seconds using alphabetical input. Music on the NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX is automatically indexed by ID3 tag information and conveniently categorized by genre, album and artist so it's never hard to find. The player also boasts music enhancement features such as SVM(TM) (Smart Volume Management) to match volume variations across MP3 tracks. The NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX comes with Creative File Manager which enables the player to function as a high-speed external hard drive that can be used to store, transport, and transfer photo, text and video files.

The NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX ships with a designer black travel pouch with belt clip, comfortable stereo earphones, and power adapter. More information is available at www.nomadworld.com.
