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”.
