9 Creative Nomad Jukebox
Apple’s iPod, released in 2001, revolutionized how we listen to music. But there were actually quite a few great digital audio players around before the iPod hit the market. Enter the Nomad Jukebox, which was manufactured by Creative.
The Nomad Jukebox took some obvious inspiration from past music listening devices (like portable CD players), which made it less sleek and portable than Apple’s iPod. Although it wasn’t very pretty, it featured a USB port and could hold around 6GB of music — around 100 hours of digital audio, which was very impressive for the time.
