Someone asked a question on another message board about recording with the NOMAD Jukebox. From what i have read i thought only the jb3 could be used for recording, but after looking around i found this:
Line-In for direct stereo audio recording in WAV format from external devices
so i am guessing there is no optical in, but this would work for an analog recording.
any thoughts on this?

Think it drops samples and has a short time limit, i'd just stick with the jb3, seems as though everyone is selling them for the flash tracker these days.
-
i just saw that it is powered by 8 AA batteries which might make it weigh more and effect the run time.
and i am sticking with the jb3

The post you saw may have been mine. I actually picked up a Nomad JB 6G and tried recording w/ it and well, it sucked! It basically creates a whole bunch of short .wav files that then have to be put together in post production and the battery life was more than horrible, even w/ brand new fully charged batteries from Nomad. Sold it on ebay and made my money back plus $20 though! Waiting to save up for my JB3....

Yes, the Nomad Jukebox C. It splits files into 15 minute segments, but only uses 4 AA batteries, not 8. A full charge on 2200mAh batteries will get you about 2.5-3 hours continuous record time. It isn't so bad to get started, but lugging that thing around gets old real quick. The JB3 with 2 batteries is your best bet. If you want the C I have one available for sale.
