A variant of the NOMAD Jukebox. The Second Generation Dell DJ and Dell Pocket DJ 5 are also OEM products from Creative.
The first NOMAD player and the first NOMAD Jukebox use proprietary protocols, neither PDE or MTP.
The NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra, or the Zen Xtra(renamed by Creative for commercial reasons) was released simultaneously with the Zen NX. The player was presumably named Xtra, thanks to the larger screen. The package includes the player, a leather case with belt-clip, a lithium ion battery, a USB cable, and a pair of standard earbuds. The Zen Xtra does not support the FM tuner from the original Zen and does not have recording functionality.
The Xtra is notable for being the first DAP to support RealNetworks’s Helix DRM, but through a tailored firmware. The SanDisk Sansa e200R would later be the only other player to have this feature.
The Zen Touch has a smaller form factor and larger backlit blue display in a curved industrial design. In addition, the device uses a touch-sensitive vertical strip on the front of the unit for easier file navigation. These changes were enabled by the use of Hitachi’s smaller 1.8-inch hard drives. The Touch is available in capacities of 20 and 40 GB. Unlike the previous two generations, the Zen Touch does not have a removable battery, and plays audio for approximately 24 hours. Even though the battery is not removable, it can be replaced rather easily since the case is closed with screws only and the battery attaches with a connector.
