Creative's last firmware update >> for the Jukebox 3 was late last month (28 Mar 2003). The current firmware >> (1.32.02) has proven quite stable in my test setup, with over 50 hours of >> recording logged. The 1.32.02 was actually released in january, and re released in march, after they fixed a few extremely serious bugs(tho not related to recording, they were related to killing your player when flashing). I have an email (not here, but on another machine, where I asked my engineer contact if the recording bugs had been fixed, and his reply was, no, they are working on that for 1.40 (that was in february, there has not been a new firmware'build' since then). note that the 'readme' file in the official creative download is dated 'january' > >"STABLE", is the right word to explain this situation. > >> In the last 15 shows, the only time my Nomad 3 has given me problems is >> when I space and forget to charge the batts before the show. Zero >> lock-ups, zero pops, zero glitches, zero occasional noise through ANY of >> the recordings using the Nomad 3 via optical-in, being fed by an SBM-1 >> with 7-pin optical cable. Before you ask, yes, I have tested my >> recordings for bit-accuracy against another digital clone. ok, so you tested it for bit accuracy once, twice, 3 times? I have found that in most cases the problems are not consistent or repeatable. for example, it worked 90% of the time with the ad2k>'greybox'>njb3., but this same combo, fed by a different digi source, would act more erratically. I tested 2 different jb3s, with 3 different hard drives,5 different coax>opt converters, and 4 or 5 different digital sources. Did almost 100 tests, and the overall reliability is not there. like I said, even the best combos were still only good 90% of the time. The majority were much worse than that. d8's for example, are way more tolerant of the signal you feed them. A device has to be universal if people are gonna buy it to patch. I'm glad its working for you, but please dont say that its proven reliability issues are 'completely false' based on your very limited sample space (a few tests of one rig). And to everybody out there happily using jb3's who dismiss me as a paranoid bit-accurate freak, keep in mind that the firmware would not even be usable today If I wouldnt have pointed out all the issues and stayed on creative to fix them. The first builds were atrocious, and nobody else was testing/bitching, so the issues would have gone unresolved. As I've said in the past,I've given up on testing the jb until they have a new build to test. 1.32 is not 'stable' to what it could be. At least we were able to take it from 'useless' to 'usable in limited cases'. and with respect to the other debate, I never argued that it isnt a way better solution than an minidisc, but it aint a dat. and since this is dat-heads, I'm guessing thats the kind of reliability that the readers of this list are looking for. So till its as reliable as a dat, I will not recommend it to any field taper. ymmv... ------------------------------ From: Grayson Thrush Subject: CD Cases... Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2003 15:14:15 -0600 (MDT) Hello DAT-People, I have a bunch of used CD cases that I no longer need, since I've gone to using plastic sleeves to save space. I bought all of them new from Bags Unlimited. I have weeded out and discarded the cracked cases. The following is what's left. They are in good shape except for light surface scratches due to normal "wear and tear". All cases come complete with black trays. RETAIL PRICES (www.bagsunlimited.com) 15 Single x $1.38 = $20.70 16 Double x $2.06 = $32.96 14 Triple x $2.10 = $29.40 36 Quad x $2.73 = $98.28 RETAIL TOTAL = $181.34 Sell for $75 (shipping via USPS "Media Rate" included).
