Well, after waiting for a few weeks, my new MP3 player (err, my FIRST MP3 player), the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra, arrived yesterday via UPS. So far, I'm pretty darn happy. The sound quality is excellent, even with the ear buds, and it's even better with the nicer Sony headphones I had in my office. The UI is a bit tricky at first, but I think I will get used to it. I also had a few quirks transferring files, but now things seem ok. (I'm got about 60% of my 40+ gigs already transferred.) Sometime later I'll test it in the car with the radio broadcaster and see how nice it works.

I have the Nomad Zen NX (without the "EXTRA" :P). A GREAT software add-on is the Notmad Explorer - very cool drag/drop capability - plus tons of other stuff (well worth $25).

Mine arrived on monday. ;-)
I almost have one too. I had a very bad experience ordering with creative (http://cfresellers.com/blog.... So I just ordered one from amazon...should arrive Monday! I got the 60 Gb version though...I have at least that many songs already...so it should be good. Have you used the notmad software? wondering if it is worth it compared to the software that comes bundled.
People have recommended it, but I haven't tried it yet. Basically I just dumped my entire 40 gig collection on it and that was fine. Soon I'm going to start making basic playlists, but for right now, my needs are simple.
