Tom's Favorite Gadget - The Nomad Jukebox from Creative

8. The Specs

The most important spec of Creative's Nomad Jukebox is clearly its storage capacity. The internal hard drive offers 5.7 (real) GB, or about 6 billion Bytes. This is enough space for over 100 hours of MP3-files compresses at 128 kbit/s, which is a considerable amount. However, most of us have more than only 100-120 CDs and so we'd like to have even more capacity to store all of our music on the Jukebox. We are all hardware-nuts enough to realize that this is only a question of the hard drive size, which clearly raises the idea of possibly equipping the Jukebox with a larger hard drive to increase its storage space. You can see from the first display picture above that my Jukebox was successfully upgraded with a 12 GB hard drive. I will get to that later.

The rest of the specs reads like this:
