Ironically, my Jukebox "C" package did include the carry case it wasn't supposed to, so now I have three cases for my Jukebox. (I'll use the spare for an old portable CD whose case has been lost.) But that basic case has room for nothing but the Jukebox, and with no holes for access to headphone or power jacks, it's really nothing but a protection. (Not that you can't *add* holes...)

The bigger case is much nicer. Room for all your cables and the necessary power supply, an extra set of batteries, and a bit more, but without making the resulting package large or unweildy. This is ideal for taking your Jukebox with you when you travel, or just go to the beach. Both cases are well-made and won't fall apart easily. The attention to quality is appreciated.

The headphones that are included are those behind-the-head things -- is there anyone who actually *likes* them? Someone must, or why would they make them? Definitely the weak point of the set. But you need the extra batteries. I already had a tape adapter from my Rio, so I haven't even used this one.

The upshot is, I can't see why anyone would buy the base Jukebox package. The "C" package plus this add-on kit is only a few dollars more, and the big carry-case alone is easily worth the difference.

The kit, which includes a cassette adapter, is a great product to own, primarily because of the cassette adapter. I purchased the kit to use the adapter in my car. The quality of the sound reproduced by the Nomad and transmitted via the adapter is superb. I experienced a high level of static initially, only able to correct the problem after adjusting the EAX settings. My only complaint about this product is that it does not include a Cigarette/Automobile adapter (Creative Labs is the only merchant that sells this product, as far as I know...). I recommend purchasing this product if you desire to have access to your music while driving. The other products included in the kit work fine.

This is called a car kit, yet it arrived with no adapter for power in the car??? If you have bought the Nomad with earphones and carrying case, the only thing you get in this kit that you need is the adapter to play the Nomad through your car speakers. The price seems a little high for that. I am returning the accessory kit and looking elsewhere to get what I really need.
