Creative Labs 20 GB Nomad Jukebox

Description

The Creative 20 GB NOMAD Jukebox lets you carry up to 340 hours of CD-quality audio with you. Using equipment roughly the size of a standard portable CD player, you can back up your entire CD collection to an MP3 or WMA format and never worry about hefting a bulky CD carrying case again.

Designed to give you the most sound options for your money, the NOMAD Jukebox comes with built-in EAX audio technology, which gives you the capabilities of adjustable playback speed and FourPointSurround speaker support. You can listen to your music through headphones, hook up to a home stereo, or connect the NOMAD directly to a FourPointSurround for 3-D positional audio.

An advanced onboard Digital Signal Processor provides headphone spatialization effects and environmental effects, and you can adjust bass, treble, and midfrequency ranges on the fly.

A line-in jack allows you to record from external devices at up to 48 KHz. Hook up to a microphone and record lectures and seminars or your latest karaoke session. Your recordings can be easily ported back to the PC with the bundled Creative PlayCenter 2 software.

A large backlit LCD display makes it easy to navigate through your music. Continue to use your NOMAD into the future with free firmware upgrades to support new audio codes from Creative Lab's NOMAD Web site.
