Creative Nomad Jukebox
Compared to the Sony Walkman and personal CD players, MP3 players could be built much smaller and were far more portable, but the real appeal of MP3s was being able to bring hundreds of songs with you on the go, and consumers were eager to embrace larger devices that offered gigabytes of storage capacities instead of just megabytes.
If you embraced MP3s a couple of decades ago, you or a friend probably rocked a device like the Creative Nomad Jukebox. When released in late 2000, this player offered 6GB of storage thanks to IBM and Hitachi’s compact flash-sized Microdrives. The Nomad Jukebox was more or less the size of a portable CD player, but eliminated the need to carry a binder full of CDs too.
