The NOMAD Jukebox 3 connects to the desktop or notebook PC through either SB1394 or USB 1.1. With transfer speed reaching less than one second per song, the SB1394 connection is ideally suited for use with Creative's Sound Blaster Audigy family of sound cards, which also feature SB1394 connectivity
"We took our best digital audio player and made it even better," said Hock Leow, CTO of Creative. "We added SB1394 so that you can download more than a song per second. Plus, this player has line-in recording to high quality MP3 and WAV files in real time. And although we've added many new features, this is the easiest to use NOMAD Jukebox ever, and the best sounding. We know of no other digital audio player that offers 98dB SNR playback quality."
Navigating through up to 40GB of content on the NOMAD Jukebox 3 is easy, thanks to the introduction of the Scroller wheel, which allows users to move through the interface and create playlists on-the-fly in seconds. Just press the Scroller on the first letter of a favorite artist, song or genre to quickly jump through the alphabetic listings to a desired selection. The Scroller also accesses a host of customization options and EAX environment presets to create the sound of music being played in different venues, such as an arena or jazz club. In difficult listening environments such as a plane or car, and late at night when trying to tone down sudden contrasts in the audio track, activate Smart Volume Management (SVM) which intelligently controls the dynamic range of a song for a superior listening experience. Besides evening out the volume 'bumps' in an audio track, SVM also employs a 'Match Volume' (normalization) feature to keep the playback volume of all the tracks on your playlist at the same level.
Users can unplug the NOMAD Jukebox 3 and listen for up to 22 hours without the need to recharge the batteries. The player ships with one rechargeable lithium-ion battery that powers up to 11 hours of continuous playback; and a second battery (available separately) can fit in the convenient second battery bay.
In a home or office setting, front and rear line-outs and Multi-Channel Effects on the player allow users to enjoy 3D audio with 4.1 or 5.1 speaker systems such as the Creative Inspire 4.1 4400 or Creative Inspire 5.1 5300. The optical and analog line-in port enables audio encoding from just about any source (MiniDisc player, DAT deck or CD or cassette player, etc.) in real time directly to the NOMAD Jukebox 3 in MP3 or high quality WAV formats.
The NOMAD Jukebox 3 is not limited to storing only music files. Data transfer functionality also enables the player to store, manage, and transport photo, text and video files.
