Hey all-
I'm new to the idea of this- been taping for years- first with NAK 301->D5, then D-7, now D-10. I am interested in something to run alongside my reg rig, to make it easier to upload/burn CDs from. As you well know, I spend twice as long giving out my name/taking names as it takes me to breakdown my stuff! And I'm lazy and have 2 little kids- I've got tons of masters that I have never put on CD, and I'm not really too sure how to get them from the DAT to the computer- and frankly haven't had time to research it!
So I know about the JB3- and that you can't get 'em anymore- is there anything else that compares? I also like the idea of saying to the security guard- "Oh- that's just my MP3 player!"
thanks for any help you can offer- I really like checking this site out! Not enough tapers around me to understand the fascination.... although EVERYBODY asks me if I have or can get this or that for them! ??? Marisa

JB3s are still available direct from Creative on eBay.
Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15058&item=5752465801&rd=1

Cool! I had looked a while ago, but I had not seen that creative labs was selling them...
thanks for the info

don't give up on the JB3's. I just got one brand new recently off ebay.
I haven't figured out how to turn it on yet but I have it for when the D8 says bye bye.
-
You need the JB3 - just leave the DAT at home...
1 - You can use it for transfers from your DAT.
2 - You are probably on your last DAT deck...I would recommend using it's remaining hours for archiving your existing collection.

Have you checked the Start Here section's Where To Begin forum?

thanks all- I've been scoping out eBay for the last couple of days. I checked out the Start Here- I hadn't checked out the HD and solid state section- so thanks for pointing me there- the Zens record WAVs, huh? I have looked at so many online, and never saw that they recorded anything but wma or mp3. I guess I'll have to study up a bit more before I decide. In the meantime I have to shop for a new home DAT deck- PCM R-300 bit it. UGH!
Thanks again all
Marisa

Be careful though as there may be some limitations that aren't listed. ie, the JB1 and JBC record in 15 min chunks.
