Introduction
Your
NOMAD Jukebox
The Creative NOMAD Jukebox is a USB,
multi-format portable audio player/recorder.
This new light-weight (14oz. without
batteries) digital audio player comes in the
size of a CD disc player and features high
capacity storage capabilities with 6 GB of
built-in storage that holds an entire music
collection (over 150 albums). It features a
Line-In for analog recording from external
sources and dual Line-Out connections ideal
for connecting a four-speaker system such as

Unlike other hardware-based solutions, the
NOMAD Jukebox features an onboard
real-time digital signal processor (DSP) and
real-time effects processor for superior audio
playback and customization. A
Headphone-Out jack supports headphone
spatialization and equalizer effects. This
SDMI-capable portable digital audio player
supports multiple formats including MP3 and
WAV file formats. The NOMAD Jukebox
supports downloadable features including new
effects algorithms, security features, and
additional formats e.g. Windows Media Audio
(WMA).
