Strengths: It does allow you to operate the player through a wired remote as advertised. The LCD text display is large and allows you to easily see what mode your player is in. The layout of the controls is good
Weaknesses: The case is a very cheap feeling plastic. The stereo ear phone jack only works when plugged-in half way. The cable for the wired remote introduces noise if it is wiggled or bent(which is hard to avoid
Summary: Over all, this product works as advertised. It is NOT of the quality I have come to expect from CREATIVE. The wired remote adds a FM radio with up to 32 preset stations. The radio reception was good and the station preset setup was simple. The voice recording quality was better than expected. The built-in Mic has good pickup and sound tone quality. The wired remote has a clip on the back so the Mic can be clipped to your shirt for hands-free recording. The EAX button did not work for my NOMAD player. I was also not able to select the REPEAT or RANDOM play options through the remote. (They do show on the remote's LCD display once you have selected them on the player, though.) The wired remote also has a LOCK tab that allows you to freeze the remote's settings so you can hold it in your hands or place it in your pocket without fear of accidentally pressing the buttons and changing your settings. Overall, it provides some much needed functionality to the Nomad player (i.e. an FM radio and Voice recording), but it is a pricey add-on seeing as how we have already shelled-out several hundred dollars for these players.
