Topic: How much music can a 6 GB Nomad hold?

[caymanreview]

get a jb3 for heavens sake! dont use a nice pre/ad (ua5) and then send an analog signal to your recorder

[momule]

the Input jack on the Jb3 is the same as the jb20gb, Trust me I have both here in front of me,

there both 1/8'' minijack

[caymanreview]

but does it accept a optical signal and an analog signal like the jb3?

Do you have the 20gig version of the JB3?  IOW, yall are talking about the same firmware, different size hard drive?

[Brian Skalinder]

I saw this on the 6GB unit:

**1 stereo minijack line input for recording **

Would this be suitable for live shows, or does the "minijack" suck for recording?

Still not sure of which device you speak - gimme a link to the NomadWorld.com page? - but odds are very high this particular analog input (minijack) will suck for recording.

Here is one I found on ebay.  Specs are halfway down.

the problem with the old jukebox is that it doesn't accept a digital input.  the A>D inside the nomads leaves something to be desired, thus the need for a digital input.  trust me, save your $ and get something you won't get sick of in 2-3 months, the upgrade bug is a bitch.

Lo and behold, the Jukebox C does in fact do line-in recording - I stand corrected.  But I still bet it sounds like ass.  Haven't used it, though...    Ditto what Chase said.

So if 6gigs will fit 6 gig's and 10 will fit ten then....how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

a LOT, depending on how Mrs. Woodchuck treated him last night.

(rim shot)

But SERIOUSLY,  6 GB will hold about 9 hours of stereo 16 bit 44.1 KHz WAV audio.  Generally, 1GB = 1.5 hours.  One hour of WAV is roughly 620 Megs.  

But YOU WANT THE JB3..... so you get 30 Hours and optical input.  The only reason anyone here uses the JB3 is because it has an optical s/pdif input.  If it didn't, nobody would be even talking about Nomads.
