Topic: Need JB3 help.. my compuer can't see the files on the unit....

[timP]

just got one of the JB3 and it's ok, not as sturdy feeling as the archos and seems like a bit of a hassel (in comparrision to the iriver and Archos) to navigate.
I DL the newest driver and the newest file manager, and updated the firmware fine, but when I click on the JB3 icon in my computer the window that pops up is empty and I can't find any file that are on the unit.
Shouldn't there be  files for music and playlist and recordings?
trying here and nomadness, but you guys are much smarter
this frickin thing is frustrating the hell out of me

edit: I'm running into my computer via usb2.0
is this the issue?

Do yourself a favor and check out the Redchair Software trial for Notmad Explorer.  Integrates fully into Windows Explorer.  Try it and I'll bet you'll be convinced it's worth the $20.

googlin  that now..
this should make me able to access the files on the jb3?

[Brian Skalinder]

If I recall, vaguely, you need to "connect" the JB3 to the PC and *then* fire up PlayCenter.  But regardless, the PlayCenter s/w is a complete POS.

No matter, Notmad Explorer is sooooooo much better you'll jump all over it.  Go to rechairsoftware.com and you'll find the trial download.  I think they have a link to it over on nomadness.net, too.

Dunno about listening, I haven't tried it.  I always transfer to my PC and master/listen from there.  Transfer takes all of about 4min for a 3 hr show.
