Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (60GB) review - Intro - MP3 players - CNET Reviews

Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (60GB) review - Intro - MP3 players - CNET Reviews

The Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra is Creative's latest iteration of its high-capacity hard disk digital music player. The new version is identical to the recently released Zen NX, except it has a larger screen with green (rather than blue) backlighting. It's still not as slick as Apple's market-leading iPod, but the Zen Xtra's lower price tag could attract those who yearn to take their multigigabyte music collections on the road.

I have used the 60 gig Zen Xtra for eight months. The left earphone channel died after one and one half month. After a warranty replacement and a firmware upgrade the device has operated flawlessly. The sound quality is the best I have heard from a mp3 player. It sounds noticeably better than the iPod line of players. It also gets around eleven hours of battery life. The iPod only gets about eight hours from its battery. The largest iPod is only forty gigs. I highly recommend this player.
