Got into the portable deal instead to take advantage of $50 coupon, $200 rebates and FAR softwares.

Also, how do I redeem this coupon. The page says "Please click on the redeem button above", but I don't see one! Help appreciated.

And the Lord said, "Let there be Light"...

Let there be Light is right! I saw this a couple days ago on SD and didn't jump on it because the forums were beating on it for lack of userfriendliness (no plug&play). Thanks nemospp! Too bad the software is $35 for full version...you would think this type of functionality would be included in a 60GB monster.

Anyone know a good FM transmitter to compliment this?

Stay away from the FM transmitter option....they sound terrible. Do what i did....go to Crutchfield and look up a head unit that will fit in your car with a AUX in(preferably on the front)and replace your old one in your car.

Thanks. I knew someone was going to recommend that. I just got a new lease vehicle with a Bose stereo, but to me it's junk without the line-in. What a waste.

apologies for not using the link feature but when I did link the address, it wouldn't take you to the reviews sorted by Low reviews first.

I purchased it using my AMEX card. So I should have 1 year warranty. Right??? I called AMEX and they said electronics something like 1 year but I forgot to ask about the labor. Anybody knows how this works??????

After reading those reviews, why would anyone buy one of these! I am holding out for the Toshiba Gigabeat 60gig.

I checked out Toshiba Gigabeat F60, which is about $120 more. The reviews are mixed as well. Only thing differs is a color screen and you can create folders. But then the sound quality is not even close to the creative Nomad. The Toshiba does have a prefect size unlike Creative.

From my research I have concluded that there is no prefect mp3 player out there yet.
IPOD = too expensive, battery is internal.
Creative = Can't have folders and Quality of the product vary.
Toshiba: also expensive, not enough reviews, sound quality is not that great.

It anyone knows a prefect portable mp3 player please post before Buy.com ships my order.

Most of the complaints are about the headphone jack problem which is no longer an issue.

Plz. elaborate....(is there a recall or ???)

Thanks

After the Zen Xtra was initially released there was a slip-steamed update to the product. This version modified the case to have a cutout that allows viewing the display without opening the case. It is also reported, but not confirmed, that the headphone jack was reinforced to correct the problem.

I just received my 60GB Zen Extra that I ordered from New Egg... it has the newer case. My wife has an original one with the old case but she has never had a problem with the headphone jack.
