The first models branded as a "Zen" were released under the [[Creative NOMAD|NOMAD]] line, and had an [[anodising|anodized]] aluminium case. The 2.5-inch [[Fujitsu]] hard drives ranged from a 20 (NOMAD Jukebox Zen), 30 (Zen NX, Zen Xtra), 40 and 60&nbsp;GB (Xtra). Unlike the earlier NOMAD Jukebox players, which looked like CD players, these had the appearance of a cassette player.

==== NOMAD Jukebox Zen ====
Announced on October 14, 2002, the NOMAD Jukebox Zen was the first player to include the "Zen" branding. It had the distinct ability to connect via [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]] 1.1 or [[FireWire]], while subsequent releases had connectivity to USB 2.0. Up to 14 hours of continuous audio playback is achieved by the rechargeable battery, and an optional wired remote gives the player an FM tuner and microphone.

==== NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX ====
The Zen NX, as it was later called, was released on August 20, 2003,<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.cnet.com/reviews/creative-nomad-jukebox-review/ |title=Creative Nomad Jukebox review |publisher=CNET |access-date=2021-11-05}}</ref> as an upgrade to the NOMAD Jukebox Zen, with a removable battery and a slightly smaller size. Included with the player was MediaSource, the music management software that would be used with subsequent Zen players.

==== NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra ====
The NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra, or the Zen Xtra (renamed by Creative for commercial reasons) was released simultaneously with the Zen NX.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.cnet.com/reviews/creative-nomad-jukebox-zen-xtra-review/|title=Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra review |publisher=CNET |access-date=2021-11-05}}</ref> 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 capability.

The Xtra was the first [[Digital audio player|DAP]] to support [[RealNetworks]]'s Helix [[Digital rights management|DRM]], through tailored [[firmware]]. The [[Sansa e200 series#e200R Series|SanDisk Sansa e200R]] would become the only other player to have this feature.
