It was available on the Nomad web site about a week ago, but now it's not there anymore. I downloaded the program but haven't installed it yet. Does anyone know why this version is pulled?

creative decided to start charging for it?

of course this wouldn't be a first. maybe an mp3 player webpage of some kind might have some info on this?

I downloaded it and installed it in my machine - no problems. I have read on WWW.NOMADNESS.NET that there are some users who have experienced lock up problems with it though.

Unlike the SlimX, you cannot 'downgrade' these updates (I have not tried this - just read about it).

I think that this is a case of 'if it ain't bust - don't fix it'. I must admit that had I have known about the potential problems with it I don't think I would have upgraded. It's crazy that (if it's true) that you cannot 'downgrade' the firmware upgrades on the player.

Assuming you have the firmware upgrade which offers the user-alterable tone controls, there's nothing significant about the latest upgrade to really lube your tube over.

I hope this helps.

I don't want to take the risk, I think I'll hold off upgrading the firmware, thank you for the info, Peddler.

This is good advice. Unless you have a problem the upgrade will fix or there is a new feature you need, I would stay away from the patch. Believe me, Creative would not be the first company to put out a fix that introduced new problems.

For those who are adventurous enough, new firmware 1.32.02 is out. Looks like it's mostly recording features update. I think I'll wait...

I have installed the 1.32.02 patch and no problems. Of course, I had no problems with the pulled version either.

Ditto

As usual, I completely ignored my own advise and upgraded the split second it appeared online. Luckily there appears to be no problems.
