Creative (NASDAQ: CREAF) the world-wide leader in digital

launch of a 20GB version of its award-winning DAP Jukebox. 
Available

the 20GB DAP Jukebox will be on sale from the end of October 2001. 



With ample capacity to store data and audio files simultaneously the

Jukebox is as light, connectable and versatile as the 6GB model,
weighing

just 400g (14 ounces) and supporting 4-channel surround-sound. 
Its USB

connection and support for line-in WAV and powered microphones ensures
fast

and easy recording for both pleasure and business.  To ensure
compliance

however the market changes, it can be software and firmware updated
via

downloads from the Creative web site. It is flexible in output, too,
and can

be used with headphones, in-car systems, powered speakers and
connected to

traditional hi-fi systems.



The new 20GB DAP Jukebox comes in metallic blue and the interface can
be

localised allowing the user to select the messages on the display from
one

of several languages including English, French, Italian, German,
Spanish or

Dutch.



"The new 20GB Jukebox makes life easier for people on the
move," explains

Neal Leggett, European brand manager for Compressed Audio Products
with

Creative Labs Europe. "Users can enjoy great audio in the format
of their

choice, keep up to date with new digital audio standards- and share or
copy

their data files at the same time. It's a perfect all-round
solution."
