Connect your player to the wall outlet (Figure 2-4). Your player will turn itself on. 2. Check the battery icon to see when the battery is fully charged.
Power Source and Level Indicators Your player displays one of the following icons, depending on the battery’s charged status or the power source (battery or electrical power).
Installing Software You must restart your computer before trying out any of the installed applications. You can also select the language that your player’s screens appear in. See "Language Settings" on page D-3. Your NOMAD Zen Xtra comes with software that helps you create audio tracks, manage your music library and use your player. 1. Make sure that your player is not connected to your computer. 2. Insert the Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. 3.
Connecting your Player to your Computer You are now ready to connect your player to your computer. Your NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra comes with a USB 2.0 cable for fast data transfers to and from your computer. Be sure that you have installed Creative MediaSource before connecting your player. USB port You can listen to your player’s preloaded music immediately by pressing the Play button. Basic instructions on how to use Creative MediaSource are provided in "Using Creative MediaSource" on page 4-2.
Transferring Music Audio selections have been preloaded to your player to get you started quickly. If you wish to listen to music immediately, simply press the Play button . However, if you wish to download additional music tracks to your player, you can either download music tracks from Internet music sites (see "Downloading from the internet" on page 2-8) or have them "ripped" from audio CDs to your computer.
Downloading from the internet To get MP3 files from the Internet, use a search engine to locate sites with MP3 content. You can also try out these sites (web sites listed here are correct at the time of this document’s release): ❍ It is illegal to encode MP3 files for trade or sale unless you have the express or explicit permission of the copyright holder(s). NOMADWorld ❍ http://www.NOMADworld.com ❍ SoundClick.com http://www.amp3.com ❍ http://www.soundclick.com ❍ Epitonic.com http://www.epitonic.
Encoding is the second phase of making an MP3 file. Encoders are used to convert the stored audio tracks, usually WAV files, into MP3 files. MP3 encoding is considered lossy compression, which means that some data is lost during compression. However, using the standard sampling rate and bitrates will ensure that your MP3 files retain much of their audio quality. The standard bitrate of most MP3 files is 128 Kbps, although some are set higher, at 160 or 192 Kbps.

C Frequently Asked Questions and Error Diagrams
FAQs and Troubleshooting This section covers common problems you might encounter or questions you might have while using your NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra. If you have a technical problem with this product, you may wish to consult our self-help tool “Knowledgebase” for online troubleshooting and solutions. Go to www.creative.com and select your region. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) have been divided into a few categories for your easy reference.
8. Click the Settings tab, and then select Auto Insert Notification. 9. Click the OK button. Features If I make a bookmark in a track, will the track play back from the bookmarked point? No, you have to manually select "GO TO BOOKMARK". See "To play the track from the bookmarked point" on page 3-20 for more information. If the Selected Music List already has a few albums in it, can I repeat playback of just one album? Unfortunately, no. You can only choose to repeat one track, or all tracks.
How can I get accessories for my Jukebox? Visit www.NOMADworld.com for the latest news on accessories. Windows XP tells me that the software for the player is not certified. What do I do? At the time of this product's release, Microsoft strongly encouraged companies to submit their hardware solutions for certification. If a hardware device driver is not submitted, or does not qualify, for Microsoft certification, a warning message similar to the one below appears.
Maintenance Do I need to defragment the player’s hard disk? No, you will not need to defragment, format or clean up the hard disk at all. The player’s unique file system ensures that you will not have to worry about hard disk maintenance. Usage Can I jog with my NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra? You should not subject your player to continuous shocks, such as those that are likely to occur while you jog or run. You can take a nice long walk with your player, though.
Proper charging and handling of the battery can also help in prolonging battery life and charge. Should I leave my player plugged into the AC adapter? No, you should not. After charging the battery or using the player, disconnect it from the AC power adapter. Leaving it plugged in leads to heat buildup, which is not good for the player or the battery. If I damage or lose my AC adapter, can I buy a similar, off-the-shelf adapter? No. The adapter may not be compatible with your player, and may even damage it.
