I will never purchase anything else from Creative Labs. The software included is also a good program for ripping mp3's and transfers the songs easily. My only disapointment was the included headphones, cause they stink cause they have no bass. But any decent pair of headphones improves the sound dramatically. I basically use the Nomad II MG to listen to music when I walk to classes around my college, and I really enjoy it.
Software is a pain to navigate and find music files.
Cant use on Windows NT, cant upload songs to another p.c. Button placement on sides sux, you can delete songs or change modes accidently. Vinyl case is only good for holding the player, doesnt show buttons. FM station pickup is very good hardly any interference, even in Manhattan. Batteries last a good amount of time on a charge.
