[--]=*=*=Nomag Jukebox Versus MP3 CD PLayers=*=*=[--]

Ok guys i decided to buy an mp3 player , and i have the choice between :

-The new NOMAD JUKEBOX (20GB instead of 6GB)

-Mp3/MPEG/VCD/CD Player

And i just want to remind you that i have a CD Burner , but it doesn't work . Thanks for helping me

I suggest u buy Rio Volt. The best one cd/mp3 player right now
www.riohome.com

I strongly recommend u get this,hook it up to ur car do whatever...
Rio Volt - $160.00

Specifications:

� Plays standard audio CDs plus CD-R and CDRW discs
� Supports popular music formats, including MP3 and WMA, and can be upgraded to emerging standards.
� ESP (Electronic Shock Protection) up to 120 seconds.
� Runs up to 15 hours on 2 AA batteries, or plays non-stop using AC adapter
� Easy navigation on large backlit LCD
� Sleek 8 function remote control
� Adjustable equalizer, repeat and shuffle play modes, programmable playlists
� Bundled with Real Networks audio management software and Roxio Easy CD Creator burning software for use on PC and SoundJam for the Mac.
� Supports ID3 tags and audio CD text, title display
� Updatable firmware
It will be able to read mp3's encoded with MP3Pro in the future for sure.
Don't buy that mp3 player. I won't tell u what specific downsides it has (it does have many) but the only thing it's 6gb. Ok in brief,I've read many people complaining about : battery life-only about 3 hours,very hard and very complicated navigating thru ur mp3 collectiong, skipping for more info just check http://msg.mp3.com/hardware/listnews/?cp=hw_main the message board.
Trust me I've been keeping up with new released of mp3/cd players for about a year and I know what da hell I am talking about...that Napa player is crap,read the review here: http://hardware.dmusic.com/reviews/dav309/
and so is that 'new' (it's not new) Nomad,review:http://hardware.dmusic.com/reviews/njb/
So the best choice is either Rio Volt or Exonion CD/mp3 playerhttp://msg.mp3.com/hardware/liststory/?topic_id=4477&month=200107. I still think Rio Volt is the best one or wait for another month Rio Volt II to be released out with features such an ability to support m3u playlists and wih an LCD screen on the remote control.
So think for urself.
Hopefully i somehow helped ya.
Respekt.

Thank u very much dude but i don't know ... i really want that 20gb Nomad ... i think i'm goin' crazy

Posted by fastmp3 on Jul-06-2001 08:46:

And i have to remind you that my cd burner is no longer working
Pleaaaaaase tell me what to do

Posted by The []Drodigy on Jul-06-2001 15:32:

cd-burner is broken?
What's the point of buying an mp3 player then?
And have u read the review on Nomad? Cuzz u still seem to like it...

Posted by fastmp3 on Jul-06-2001 16:58:

yes i read it the only bad thing is that sometimes it's slow to boot , and it's normal because it's like a computer (6GB ain't easy).
Plus i don't want to bring all my CD's with me , i just want to put them all in the jukebox , it's easier ... that's why i'm still attracted to it

Posted by The []Drodigy on Jul-06-2001 17:15:

Well ok...but I am sure u'll be listening to 25% of what u record on that HD player. Anyway I don't carry A CD for my mp/cd player, my battery die out faster than I listen to the whole CD man. Each CD basically has more than 11 hours of music.
Anyway it's pointless explaining to u that MP3/CD players (especially Rio Volt are better than any HD mp3 player) because they are.
CM 415 Classic is what I got and I am not too happy with it by looking at what CD/mp3 players are out right now I am waiting for Rio Volt II to be released out with many great features and ofcourse like MP3Pro codec support
Respekt.

dude if only i had a working cd burner i'd buy the rio
i don'T have the choice

Posted by TeKnoHe@d2025 on Jul-07-2001 03:39:

Get the Rio Volt dude, my friend has one. $169 here, and as long as u have a burner u'll get your money's worth out of it. About 89 trance tracks to a CD, and CDs r dirt cheap now so u'll like it. It has upgradable firmware too.

Everywhere I've looked the Rio Volt beat out the others for best CD/MP3 player.

For more info on the Rio go here: http://electronics.cnet.com/cgi/CEP...ans&pid=1000426

I have to remind you that i DON'T HAVE a working CD Burner , it's fucked up and i don't think i'm gonna buy a new one for the moment that's why i think the nomad is better for me

Posted by TeKnoHe@d2025 on Jul-07-2001 03:58:

Whatever u do read reviews of it on sites like IGN, ZDNet, CNET, etc. But I would go for the Rio if u can find a cheaper burner that'll get the job done. How much is the Nomad? Cause u might be able to get the burner & CD/MP3 player for as much as that Nomad (I saw the Volt listed for $136 on the net). And I got my 8x4x32x Sony CD-RW for $150 around christmas time.

Posted by The []Drodigy on Jul-07-2001 04:31:

Posted by fastmp3 on Jul-07-2001 04:36:

U're pushing it now. U might be able to find a nice one in the $200-220 range but I dunno. Like I said, look around. U should be able 2 get a CD-RW & the Volt though w/ $330. 8x is a nice speed, sure it's not as fast as 16x but u gotta think about how much $ u got and want to spend. Glad I could help

big??? u prefer mini-disc players then?

Posted by fastmp3 on Jul-07-2001 14:48:

I think i'm gonna buy the nomad , final decision probably

Posted by Cru54d3r on Jul-07-2001 15:06:

My vote is for the nomad jukebox, as u can mod it to fit any "hdd size" (2.5") Hdd, thus in theory u could put in a 30gb, plenty of room, and u dont have to go thru a load of cds

For those of u who still stick with Rio Volt, wait till Rio Volt II gets released out with MP3Pro codec support, that'd be cool...
