What is the Improved connectivity?
Until recently, all Windows- and hard drive-based MP3 players connected to your computer by USB. It’s a convenient connection but leaves something to be desired regarding how fast you can transfer files. Some MP3 players boast an IEEE 1394 connection for faster music transfers from PCs with FireWire. Other high-speed connections can be made with USB 2.0. One of the players already featuring this connection is Creative Labs’ NOMAD Jukebox 3. It packs a USB port plus a FireWire/IEEE 1394 port for faster music downloads. This hard drive-based player also allows you to sync with multiple PCs (with the Creative PlayCenter software installed), which means you can trade entire MP3 collections in a short period of time. PlayCenter software also handles auto song titling and organization, music importing, CD burning and standard file transfers of any type.
