I use the 1.32 firmie no problems. I think there is a 1.36 version our now that is a French version, all the same features as 1.32, but apparently the headphone volume is decreased... And its probably in French...
Now the new firmie is 1.40. Supposed to let you FF to the next track w/o gaps during recording, though I haven't seen it work... Though I imagine, you could give it a buffer and blahblahblah and it would work just fine...
It has some other stuff too, but one problem that has been found is playback now has gaps at tracks whereas the 1.32 don't do that apparently (I don't know, don't use mine for playback).
I'm waiting a while to see how the tests come out, but I may update to that version to add the gapless recording feature... Now if only they'd add a setting to automatically FF and create a new track at 3 hours!
Good luck with your Nomad, there are lots of posts about them here, search around...
