remember the JB3?
« on: December 06, 2011, 02:56:20 PM »
Nomad Jukebox 3!

I blew the dust off my old JB3 and and am doing some work with it. I no longer am running any machines using Windows XP, they are all Windows 7. Has anyone tried to get the JB3 to transfer using Windows 7? Does it work? Is it buggy?

In my experience it doesn't work with 7. I haven't heard otherwise from anyone else. Perhaps you might have success in XP Virtual?

Several have tried and I believe the answer is no.

If all you need to do is transfer the files, boot using any of many Live Linux distributions, plug in the JB3 and transfer the file to your hard drive then reboot and edit/master using whatever audio program you prefer.

Note: I still use XP for all my audio processing so have no direct experience using 7. For everything other than audio work I have several different Linux flavors on old boxes and laptops and everyone I have tried has recognized the JB3s. For full disclosure I will add it has been a least a couple of years since any of the JBs have left their drawer.

Thanks! I have an empty hard drive (small by today's standards) and will probably install Win 2000 on that on just run it from there.

Me too.  The line in on mine broke earlier this year so I had no choice but to retire it.

Try finding an older version of Nomad Explorer (that's the only way I got it to work on Win 7).  It takes some messing around with.

I'm having trouble giving one of mine away for shipping.

Yeah, I'm basically just using it in the mancave as a music player. Fortunately, my other one is being used for a massive transfer project, so that's cool.
