Over the years, MP3 has become a "format of choice" for individuals wishing to store music across multiple PCs and workstations. As portable MP3 players splurged the market however, a new dimension for this ever popular music format began to explode. Users could then download music to portable, battery powered MP3 players for such activities as jogging, biking, or the daily stroll through the city park.

Unfortunately, portable storage for MP3 media was limited in some cases to 32 MB or 64 MB of available space on objects called "memory sticks". These hindrances allowed only up to 12 quality-sounding MP3s on each memory stick. With this limitation, a user had to constantly refresh their memory sticks with new titles when "the urge" kicked in.

However, Nomad has released a product would eventually alter the course of the portable MP3 arena. The Nomad Jukebox, appropriately called, was released to the market. This product holds up to 6 GB of MP3 content, and can hold up to 1000 MP3 tracks-- a feat which a few months ago was reserved for desktop hard drives. To be perfectly honest, the Nomad Jukebox "is" a portable hard drive. It stores MP3s on data platters, as opposed to competitive players, and their proprietary dinky-sized memory sticks.

Another neat feature with the Nomad Jukebox lies with the audio input option. A user can also use this device to record live audio! For those who are into professional recording, this is a must-have feature.

Available in either blue or silver colors, this MP3 player also resembles a portable CD player. However, don't let looks deceive you. This device has a lot more potential, and has storage capabilities beyond reason.

For those willing to pay $430 for this device, they will certainly be the "talk-of-the-town" with this evolutionary device.
