MP3 Player for the Masses! High Value

If you are looking for an affordable MP3 Player that is easy to use, has great sound, and won't break your budget,the Nomad II or IIc is for you.

My Nomad IIc, which is identical to the other Nomad II products minus the FM radio, has been a very enjoyable experience. It has:
* 0 to 128MB of internal memory, depending on your price range (mine had 64MB and I believe it is only available in 128MB now)
* 0 to 128MB of external memory add-on capability with SmartMedia or SSFD (solid state floppy disk) memory card slot, for a total of 256MB of memory possible (I added a 128MB SmartMedia card to mine because my Olympus Digital Camera also uses this external memory type)
* Small size and awesome sound with 6 selectable base/treble settings (normal, pop, rock, classic, jazz, and one you setup for your listing taste).
* Software that allows you to transfer songs on your CDs directly to the Nomad IIc with a quality level(file size) you select. I found 32KBps sampling rate(file size) provided about 1 song per megabit of Nomad memory with good sound reproduction (if you are an audiophile you can sample up to 160KBps if you want to, or about 1 song per 5MB of Nomad memory).
* A Digital Tape Recorder which I tried but it didn't seem to pickup very well. I removed one star rating for this and it may have been cockpit problems cause I don't use it anyway.
* An FM Scanning Radio on Nomad II models, which mine wasn't so I can't rate.I am very happy with my Nomad IIc and would highly recommend it for those looking for a practical, quality, MP3 player. Imagine carrying around up to 25 of your favorite CDs(assuming 10 songs on each CD) in an all solid state product the size of a pack of
cigarettes, but half as thick! No bulky CD player with CD case(s) to carry around(and possibly lose) and no switching of CDs, they're all in this little player!!.
