Introduction
Your NOMAD IIc Player
Any reference to "NOMAD II" in your
package’s software, or elsewhere, also
refers to the NOMAD IIc player.
Your NOMAD IIc player is a digital audio
player for the new Internet generation. You do
not need to carry a cassette tape or CD.
A key feature at the core of the NOMAD IIc is
its programmability, designed to be virtually
future-proof. By incorporating this upgradable
feature, the NOMAD IIc can be programmed
to support multiple digital audio formats, such
as MP3 and Microsoft® Windows Media
Audio (WMA) or software extensions that will
be made available on www.nomadworld.com.
The NOMAD IIc is designed for the active
consumer, with features that emphasize quick
setup and mobility. The new NOMAD IIc
comes equipped with a Universal Serial Bus
(USB) connection for faster transfer rates and
hot-plugging connectivity, a high-quality
backlit LCD, and SSFDC (Solid State Floppy
Disk Card) compliant Flash Memory Card
(Creative SmartMedia™), supported in all
configurations. And like the first NOMAD,
the NOMAD IIc features MP3 playback and
voice recording capability.
The sound in this light shock-resistant player
will not skip or stretch at all, even during
vigorous exercise or after repeated playbacks.
The ID3 Tag information such as song title and
artist name is also conveniently displayed on
the LCD for easy reference.
NOMAD IIc also comes bundled with the
following software and songs:
❑Creative PlayCenter 2, which manages
your favorite digital audio files on your
computer and NOMAD IIc. It is also an
integrated encoder for ripping audio CD
tracks into compressed digital audio files.
❑Macintosh® iTunes, which features a
powerful interface for importing music
CDs to MP3 files, creating playlists,
burning music CDs, moving music to your
NOMAD IIc player as well as for listening
to hundreds of radio stations on the
Internet.
You can download more MP3 files through
worldwide web sites or online services to play
them back on your NOMAD IIc.
For more details on MP3, please refer to
Appendix A, “An MP3 Primer”.
