The original DAP, Nomad Jukebox (NJB1):
http://home.pacbell.net/clayt/06031509470_1aa.jpg
uses 9-12V DC.
They will run straight off a cigarette lighter adapter in the car or a 
12V AC adapter.
Beware though, any old AC adapter may not work. Seems they're not very 
well regulated and can put out too much DC volts. I know, I bought one. 
Plugged in my NJB and killed it instantly. Metered it afterwards, only 
to find out it made 22 no load volts.
Go with a Creative one or at least, meter the one you get *before* you 
plug your NJB into it.
The internal batteries will go after a while and not charge. It will 
still run on AC though.

The NJB2/NJB3 uses 5V DC
