3 out of 5 stars Xtra Problems.......2007-12-12

I've had this product for about 2 years. Yes, it's been reliable and for the $ is probably okay, but I think there are better Creative Products available now. This thing has always been hard for me to use (both the software and the physical device). Consequently, I mainly use it as my "primary" storage device from which I load/download a smaller Creative Rock (which I highly recommend by the way). Anyway, when I use it in the dark, I always am hitting something wrong. As an example, last night I had it set to "Play Any Track" and this song came on and I thought "I wonder what song that is" and as I touched my Xtra (probably brushing a wheel or button in the process), it immediately switched to another song. Stuff like that happens all the time with this thing. I think it's the multi-use wheels and buttons that are the culprits. A primary requirement for any of my mp3 players is that they are Audible-ready and the Xtra is that. I wouldn't buy it again and as I said, I believe there are better Creative products out there now.

5 out of 5 stars My Faithful Brick.......2007-11-25

Now, I can't remember if I got this thing in '03 or '04, but it has lasted this long and still runs great. Sure, the battery life is starting to wane, but it has been three or four years! Three or four year of continuous, if not constant use. It lasted me through the latter years of high school, and its lasted me back and forth on the bus to college for closing in on a year and a half now. The sound quality is great, and, because they're Creative, it comes with a sound equalizer than comes with presets like rock, acoustic, classical, auditorium, etc. It even lets you put in you're own settings if you'd like. To be honest though, the only settings I've used are off and (mostly) rock. Sure, this thing has (or had anyway, as they seem to have disappeared) a few problems. I'm a pretty lazy fellow so I'd leave it charging overnight and then just pick it up in the morning, and every once and a while it would lock up on start up, but popping out the battery for a second did the trick without memory loss. And at one point a few months ago it would see to go back in time and start playing a playlist I had be listening to the previous day. But all that has seemed to stop. Sure, its ugly as hell, and its carrying case (which its been in since practically day one) is ugly too, and its a brick, but its my brick. I love the ugly little troll. If you're looking for something thats cheap (now anyways) and functional, you can't really go all that wrong. The day I upgrade will be a sad day indeed...

5 out of 5 stars Owned player for over 2 years, absolutley no problems.......2007-11-11

I bought my Nomad Zen Xtra almost 3 years ago. Great sound, huge capacity and obviously great reliability. Battery lasts 5+ hours consistently. Bought a second battery for those long plane trips. Original battery still holds its charge as well as it did when new even after many, many charges. Fabulous sound especially after using its built in graphic equalizer. I love it.

Do I have any complaints. Well, the software to download songs from my computer, while easy, does not seem to recognize my Windows folders as playlists??? I wish Creative allowed more creative flexibility.

My wife wanted an iPod Nano and it is cute, light, has wonderful touch operating functions and sounds good. But we paid $30 extra for a repair/replacement plan because it's batteries are known to fail and are not user replaceable. Should the iPod fail, how long will my wife have to wait for a repair or replacement? This is a question one should not have to worry about and I don't with my Nomad Zen Xtra 30 GB player.

4 out of 5 stars Do not upgrade the firmware!!!.......2007-10-24

Do not upgrade the firmware in this (or in fact in any other Creative) MP3 player and it will work forever. Creative's USB drivers are not reliable and their forum is useless.

1 out of 5 stars worth it??.......2007-09-04

I had this player for about 2 years. The drive crashed on me within a year, and creative did take it back and fix it. About a year later, the buttons broke, and I was no longer able to turn the volume up. Although it held up ok, I think that for the impressiveness of the outside case, it was very poor. The user interface is horrible, I couldn't stand using the player without having a pre-made playlist
