New CL Portable MP3 Players

Saw this story on Yahoo about two new portable MP3 players by Creative Labs. No idea how freaking much this one is gonna cost but one of them, the Creative NOMAD Jukebox, can store 6gb instead of the standard wimpy 32/64mb. And it's still the size of a portable CD-player. Now that is some serious good space for your MP3 collection :)

The Creative NOMAD Jukebox is a USB, multi-format portable audio player/recorder. This new light-weight (14oz.) digital audio player, in the size of a CD disc player, features high capacity storage capabilities with 6GB of built-in storage that holds an entire music collection (over 150 albums) or up to 2,600 hours of spoken word. 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 Cambridge SoundWorks, Inc.'s FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital. Unlike other hardware-based solutions, the NOMAD Jukebox also features an onboard real-time digital signal processor (DSP) 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, WMA and WAV file formats. Unlike other hardware-based solutions, the NOMAD Jukebox also features an onboard real-time effects processor for superior audio playback and customization. The NOMAD Jukebox also supports downloadable features including new effects algorithms, security features, and auto playlist generators.
They also announced the Creative NOMAD II MG, but that's just some pussy 64mb player :)

  • hmm question who\'s got the time to listen to 6gig of 128Kpbs 44.1khz mp3\'s? i have 1 gig of mp3s.. 16hrs of music.. 16hrs*6.4gig=102.4hrs of music.. WHO THE fuck has that much time...then again.. going away from home on breaks they dont have to worry bout having their 100cd collection or hauling a computer or a laptop around with em... And uh #39 do you realize mp4 is gona have DOUBLE compression with No quality loss what so ever? so instead of a meg a minute for a 128kbps44.1khz mp3.. it will be 500k a minute for a 128kbps44khz mp4... with no sound loss...but its gona have encryption.. i wouldnt mind making mp3\'s in 256kbps and 44.1-48khz for my personal use..
    i commend CL on their portable storage.. i wonder what kind of storage it is.. cant be dvd.. dvd burner would be too expensive.. i dont think it would be solidstate ram... so its gotta be something like an ultra small hard drive.. #2 hehe how about something better.. KLIPSCH... and #17 I admit.. i\'m a compaq user... not by choice... by lack of knowledge at the time my mom got a computer...... i\'m now on the search to replace that shitty rockwell pci modem with an external modem so i can stuff a SB LIVE X-gamer and go hunting for KLIPSCH speakers :).. then the only upgrade left to do would be toss in a 21inch monitor and replace the voodoo3 2k with a voodoo3 3k pci (from a friend who is buying a complete new system) and then.. i\'ll have a \"Neat\" computer...
    hehe
    then once i get $600 rounded up... new computer here i come.. compaq is gona get formatted once i transfer all my pr0n, w4r3z files to the new one.. and then i\'ll yank the sb live.. and leave the doodoo3 3000 in there.. still need to use it for lan partys thou :)
