Does anyone know where I can get the NOMAD II at the cheapest rate?
I know I should be downloading one of those hefty programs that does that
sort of comparison... but I couldn't be bothered..

i got the nomad II from the soundblaster store with no memory card (Nomad II 0MB) for $110 including shipping. mobshop has the memory cards in 32MB for about $80, 64MB for about $125. that can get you a nomad II with 64mb for about $230-$250 instead of $299. mobshop also has promotion codes that can get 20% off the memory card if you're willing to look for 'em.

You can read about this deal at slickdeals.net or at emusic.com. The MP3 selection at emusic.com is so-so at best, but you probably can't beat this deal right now. It will undoubtedly take several weeks to get the player, but I for one can wait at this price . . . corporate_avenger Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Counting $50 for the player and maybe another $75 for another 32MB card... $125 is _still_ an awful lot to pay for a device that can only hold about an hour of music. Prices on memory have got to come way, way down (to, say, $20 for 32MB) before this will be a remotely useful technology. -- Jerry Kindall <mailto:jerry@manual.com> Manual Labor: We Wrote the Book!

True, MP3 players as a rule are definitely overpriced--but they remain useful where shock resistance is paramount (running, some forms of travel, etc.). Otherwise, CD-R/RW is the value leader (also blows away those stupid Zip/LS-120 disks), and I use CD-R/RW everywhere else. Once portable CD-R/RW players which decode MP3s become widely available (from major manufacturers, not the few "bit players" carrying them now), they should drive the price of existing MP3 players through the floor. corporate_avenger Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

True, CD-R/RW is a much better value overall, but MP3 players offer the ultimate in shock resistance (new portable CD players from Philips, Sony, and Aiwa notwithstanding). When shock-resistant CD-R/RW players which also decode MP3s become widely available from major manufacturers, prices of existing MP3 players should plummet. corporate_avenger Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
