Good all-round features. But will burn a hole in most pockets. Compared to the original Nomad MP3 player, Creative's Nomad II MG has undergone more than a chassis upgrade. And unlike the older model, the Nomad II MG is much easier to use.
Buttons are bigger and more accessible.
The SmartMedia eject 'slider' makes ejecting SmartMedia cards a breeze. Altogether, these little nice touches make the Nomad II MG a joy to use. Its bluish LCD is bright enough even in dark places. When you fast forward to the next track, songs fade out first before the next one comes on. My only complaint is the small screen, which is a throw-back to the old Nomad player.
