Title: JB3 as an MP3 player-wav problem
Post by: SpareRibs on June 25, 2006, 07:03:43 PM

First I apologize if this has been addressed before.

I just got a used JB3 and I love the sound especially with the line out and headphone amp combination. I do use it now a little bit as an MP3 player but here's the problem:

I am having problems playing wav files. I can play 320 kbps but when I try to play a wav file, it says "play back error" and it does not play. Any suggestions on fixing it?

never heard of this one, but the first thing i'd try would be a defrag of the hdd.

If you record a .wav onto the JB3 does it play that back?  Is it some kind of odd sample rate/bit .wav you are trying to playback?

I agree that the hard drive would be a good place to look first.

I've recorded 16/48 sources from dvd video concerts (going optical in) and it played them back just fine on my njb3.

I tried recording in wav and the playback was fine. It's just that I cannot play back wav for CD tracks. 320 kbps plays fine though.  I'll try to see the firmware. I'm not sure how to do it but I'll check and see.
