My empirical evidence with switching back and forth b/w AC and internals while recording is that it will crash the system, making it reboot at best or at worst freezing the thing and requiring a total reset.  This has happened twice to me and I don't want to chance it anymore.

Ask Jeff about it, he lost AC power last night during Victor Wooten and it seemed to keep on truckin'.

As always, YMMV

True the JB3 pulled the whole show perfect. even when the plug was pulled.

Due to my error the dat's were incomplete.

I was glad to see how quick you can stop the JB3 save the recording & start recording again. Much quicker than a tape flip.

IMO For the price everyone should have a JB3. even if it's just backup.

So I did some tests pulling power in and out and everything was fine.  Maybe older firmware doesn't handle it as well?  I'm on 1.32.02

Maybe I'll start up a new thread on external power (not AC) - ran that successfully last night.

Even faster than stopping and starting - just press the track forward button while recording.  That saves the existing and starts the new one in one quick step (takes about 8 seconds).

All this talk of people having trouble during the transfer to PC is puzzling.  Unless ofcourse you are still using Playcenter to transfer instead of Notmad.

I've used the playcenter so far without any hitches...  The only probs I had in any recordings we my own fault (level too high/low on UA5), or problems with SBD (loose connection first time taping).

I have found that my transferred waves have a header issue with CDWave, but it hasn't caused any problems per se...  I've always trimmed the front and back of my WAVs to give it nice clean edges anyways.

Sorry to hear folks have issues with their JB3s, mine been perfect so far (knock on wood!)

I've ran my JB3 around 10 times & have yet to transfer anything.

I use it for backup & to listen in the car. Ride home ect. I do need to transfer Victor Wooten. I'm going to give it a shot.

What is this Notmad?

i've been taping with my nomad since april and i've taped lots and lots of shows, probably upwards of 30-40 and I've never had a problem transferring shows or with the new firmware.  The only thing I've ever noticed is that when the drive is almost full or if i do a lot of deleting and filling with mp3s the drive gets messy and my shows get glitchy.  I'd suggest doing the scan disc and formatting the drive or whatever every couple of months or so depending on the amound of shows you tape with it.
