before the transfer, i'm looking at moe, mule, and dread clampitt sets on the jb3 using notmad. one of the columns on the right is the bitrate column. within the same show, the bitrate was different for each set( 1,2,e). no setings on the v3 changed during the show.
Hey JR - just had a chance to check this out here at home. I think this is just a bug in Notmad. When you transferred, were all the files still 16-bit, 44.1k/48k or whatever sample rate at which you recorded?
Looking at my JB3 in Notmad Explorer right now, 9 recordings and Notmad lists every single one as a different bitrate (-288, -33, 1507, 1528, 4, 425, -434, -104, 1415), but when I transfer they're all 16-bit/44.1kHz as they should be. Bug city, sounds like, I wouldn't sweat it.
