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:
