Title: Need JB3 help.. my compuer can't see the files on the unit....
Post by: timP on February 25, 2004, 06:14:08 PM
just got one of the JB3 and it's ok, not as sturdy feeling as the archos and seems like a bit of a hassel (in comparrision to the iriver and Archos) to navigate.
I DL the newest driver and the newest file manager, and updated the firmware fine, but when I click on the JB3 icon in my computer the window that pops up is empty and I can't find any file that are on the unit.
Shouldn't there be  files for music and playlist and recordings?
trying here and nomadness, but you guys are much smarter ;D
this frickin thing is frustrating the hell out of me

edit: I'm running into my computer via usb2.0
is this the issue?

Do yourself a favor and check out the Redchair Software trial for Notmad Explorer.  Integrates fully into Windows Explorer.  Try it and I'll bet you'll be convinced it's worth the $20.

If I recall, vaguely, you need to "connect" the JB3 to the PC and *then* fire up PlayCenter.  But regardless, the PlayCenter s/w is a complete POS.

No matter, Notmad Explorer is sooooooo much better you'll jump all over it.  Go to rechairsoftware.com and you'll find the trial download.  I think they have a link to it over on nomadness.net, too.

Dunno about listening, I haven't tried it.  I always transfer to my PC and master/listen from there.  Transfer takes all of about 4min for a 3 hr show.   :)
