How do I find my songs ?

Managing your Music
With a 20Gig HDD, you will definitely get lost among the hundreds of albums. The Jukebox makes it easier by allowing you to customize playlist. You can have one for trance, one for rock, sentimental and even a slow romantic love song playlist should your date happen to come over.


5 search-by options


You can also search for playlists, songs & albums by using the scroller button on the right. Press the search button and 5 options will appear : Search by playlist, artist, album, genre or track. Simply use the scroller button to enter your choice and choose OK when done.


I want to rock!



Recording
You can do direct recording, MP3 or WMA format, on the fly. Simply connect your audio source to the line-in jack, choose line-in/optical, sampling frequency (11.025/22.05/44.1/48kHz) and you are done. For the wired remote recording with the microphone, you have to choose the W.Remote Recording option.


Choose either Line-In or Remote recording



For Line-In choose either Digital or Analog signal



Choose your sampling/streaming rate


Recording from CD player to Jukebox 3 is also possible. However it is real time, meaning the encoding time would be the length of the song. It would be better to use your PC to speed up the process.


CD to Jukebox recording. Yawn...



Portable file storage
The Jukebox 3 also functions as a portable storage device. Using Creative File Manager, you can transfer non-audio files such as photos, presentations in the NOMAD Jukebox 3. It's a useful replacement for all your ZIP and JAZ disks.


The file manager looks and works exactly like Windows Explorer


Moving files between your computer and NOMAD Jukebox 3 utilizes familiar features like Drag-and-Drop and New Folder creation as with Windows Explorer. However the PCs at your destinations must have this file manager, entirely different from Windows Explorer, installed. Fear not for there is a utility to create a so-called installation disk coupled with drivers and software required. Install it once and that's it.

I actually tried transferring a few DIVX movies with it between my 2 PCs at home. It would be great if there was actually a video out and DIVX firmware inside.
