Nomad Jukebox 3 voice record

Hi, I've been trying to get useful voice recording with my N. Jukebox 3. I'd like to have good recordings of my singing lessons. Using a good Sony mike I still get barely audible (on max volume) scratchy recordings. The range seems good but not enough volume and clarity to be useful. What is anyone else's experience? If not this unit is there an MP3 player with great recording performance? Thanks for any response, Robert

If you can find a used minidisk unit off eBay or similar for cheap, the preamp in those units can make for an excellent small, battery powered preamp for the JB3 line input.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra connection probl

Hello Everyone.
First off, I am using Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (30G) with Windows XP - SP2. A few days ago my Zen Xtra would connect to my pc but as of today it no longer does. After searching through similar posts I am assuming it's not a problem with my Zen but with my PC. None the less, I did do my best to troubleshoot myself. I downloaded all possible firmware/drivers from Nomadworld.com. However - the firmware upgrade would not complete due to the fact that my device is not connected. I tried connecting my player to other USB ports on my PC - no luck. I used Nomad Explorer to do my transfers and as suggested in the FAQ, I tried downloading others (ie: MediaSource) however these wouldn't install because it could not detect any device. When I go to Device Manager/USB/ my Nomad isn't even listed. I have tried 3 different USB cables. The player isn't locked. Other devices work with the usb cables and port (ie: logitec clicksmart camera)
So now assuming it is a PC problem, where do I go from now? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Hibbs,
Thank you for your response. The only thing that comes to mind is k-lite codec pack I downloaded and installed for the Indeo codec needed for my clicksmart 820. I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with the disruption of my device. The camera itself worked but wouldn't record videos until I installed the codec. Everything else to my knowledge is the same. No other new USB devices installed either.

Touch vs. Nomad Jukebox (yes, the ORIGIN

I am getting antsy and bored waiting for the Touch firmware to be released. I was looking for a game and saw my good ol' reliable blue nomad jukebox sitting on the shelf. I gave it good hug. For over fi've years that CD-player sized original HDD based MP3 player has gone everywhere with me. Until a few weeks ago when i bought a Zen Touch.
I scoured the net, comparing the Zens to iPods to Rios to Ri'vers. In the end, my personal experience (happy ) with creative made me choose the Touch in the end.
Everyone likes to compare the Touch to the iPod, calling it the "iPod killer." Well let me tell you something, oh my brothers, that overweight blue monster with its 6 hours of battery life is the Touch killer. Hell with why the Touch is better then the iPod, lemme tell you why the Nomad Jukebox (C, or DAP as you care to call it) is better than the Touch:
My current "listening on a daily basis" music library come in at about 3.5GB. That's music i like to hear every day. That's plenty to fit on a Jukebox, and obviously on a Touch as well</LI>
I'm out on a research farm for about 5-7 hours a day. Both the 6hr Jukebox and the 24hr Touch battery deli'ver.</LI>
The Jukebox has fully functional EAX settings, the Touch doesn't</LI>
With a set of surround headphones, i can have 4 channel surround on the Jukebox. Stereo only on the touch.</LI>
The Jukebox has a three band EQ with programmable crossover frequency. The touch has built in EQ and a faulty programable one.</LI>
The Jukebox has a tree structured queue list, and individual items can be removed or added. Nothing like that on the touch</LI>
Pushing UP/DOWN simultaneously allows quick scrolling, and there's a page up/page down function on the Jukebox - the lists also wrap so you can go from top to bottom easily. Scroll, wait, wait, and wait on the Touch. If you're at the bottom of a big playlist... well, forget it.</LI>
Play mode available directly from Current Track screen.</LI>
All i need is a microphone to record lectures on the Jukebox. The touch requires an external part to do that.</LI>
I choose what comes up when the jukebox starts, and what volume. That way i don't scream bloody murder going from my car to my headphones.</LI>
Tracks, artists, and albums starting with 'the' have 'the' ignored on the Jukebox. The Clarks is filed between Chumbawumba and Coldplay on the JB.</LI>
Sleep and wakeup timers on the Jukebox.</LI>
Hardware settings on the Jukebox let me choose between it running like a Beetle Diesel, getting 56 mpg, or a Ferrari Testerozza, and getting single digit mileage.</LI>
No "push me to play everything and screw up your playlist" button on the Jukebox.</LI>
What advantages does the Touch have over my Jukebox?
Higher SNR (98 vs 96 i think, cant find Jukebox spec)</LI>
Smaller</LI>
Better battery life</LI>
Promise of better firmware</LI>
I'm an audiophile-geeky-gadget guy. I own 99.98% the MP3's i have on my PC. NapsterToGo, Y!MU, amongst others are appealing to me, as i refuse to 'stick it to the man' by illegally pirating music. You say only the record industry is getting screwed over - don't forget the musicians have a paycheck too. Hoping for support, just like we got support when DRM first came to be for our JB's, our Zen's and such, i loyally bought your Touch. I even remember the combo beta/stable firmwares.
When a product that you made over fi've years ago has more features, functions, and capabilites than something you've released recently - that's quite a tradgedy.
I remember a bus ride sophmore year in HS, my first MP3 player. The night before i spent hours ripping the songs to the player until 5am. It was cool, people were amazed, i sold them on this "thing" that held every song that they owned. It was both 337 and Chic.
Now people see the Touch and ask, "is that the new iPod?"
I found that sales is like a marriage. You need a first impression, you need your customer to fall in love with the product, and you need to keep them interested as long as possible. Well, after fi've years... i want a divorce. I won't buy an iPod - Apple will lose share because of their control-freak nature on their products. But i won't be buying Creative products anytime soon, or even again.
This message was a bit of humor to begin with - i started fiddling with my JB this evening. Then it got me to thinking, what happened to the creative that used to post new drivers/firmwares/updates every week or so? Where'd they go?
Where's that old Creative Labs that was just that... Creative?
EDIT: I thought you might like to know that the FW on the JB is 4.0/2.98beta... the last dual boot beta creative put out. Still available on the Nomadness.net site

When i first got my JB, it had battery life comprable to an iPod, about 2 hours. With the ability in later firmwares to tweak HD settings, i could extend it to about 6 with minor inconviences like load time and some gapping.
It depends on the files though. With 28kbit/s MP3s you would get about 4 hours, maybe more with higher capacity batteries.
At the time, the only other portable audio was CD, and think of how many people still have and use CD players. True it was a projectile weapon...
Actually I liked that its form factor was similar to a CD player. It meant getting cases was easy, although I went for the skin case.
And i liked the NiMH batteries, they could be used in anything, and they lasted much, much longer than alkaline. You know why the JB says "Use only Creative NiMH?" One, so you didn't recharge alkaline cells; two, alkaline cells ran the player for maybe and hour and a half, to
ps.
They were certainly worried about using the wrong batteries in it, although of course any NiMH batteries, ideally high capacity, work.
Oh, and i booted the JB and Touch (cold boot)... took about the same amount of time. Touch was a 'touch' faster.
Not if you add content to the NJB though. Every time you change content it has to rebuild the library.

Re: Help with Nomad Jukebox 3 and Creative Softw

Okay I need help with the following...(bare with me!)
First, I have a Nomad Jukebox 3. I record shows with it at concerts that allow me to record via the optical input. I currently use Creative Media Source but I don't have the pluggins to "Burn CD". I am wondering how I can go about getting these?
Currently I can not burn these "line recordings" onto CD, and when I right click on the line recording in the Creative Media Source to find the file name there is no Properties icon that I can go to, to see the file name so I can just do a search in my computer to pull these up in my current CD burning software.
Also, "the line recording" is one big file. What program/software do I use to splice up the individual tracks so that it won't be one long "line recording"?
Now when I bring my music from CD or my computer to my Nomad, I've been using Creative Play Center. Do I have to use this all the time or can I use Creative Media Source? I'd rather use one or the other and not have both to deal with... I don't see any icon of my Nomad Jukebox 3 on the Media Source but there is one on the Creative Play Center.
Okay now one more thing just to inform you that from my Creative Play Center I am converting a concert that I downloaded and it's currently in wav format. I am converting it to MP3. Now when I do that in the Play Center window it now shows me the wav and MP3 format for each individual song. That's cool that it doesn't completely erase the wav format, however when I want to download each song in MP3 format I have to go to each individual MP3 which is fine but everytime the Transfer Options Box opens which asks me the Title, Artist and Genre each time.
Is there a way that I can just fill out the information once, so I don't have to do that for each MP3?
Thank you for helping me understand the Creative software and helping me know what I can and can't do!

I found the CD burning module for MediaSource hidden in the download for the Audigy soundcards, at least in the European downloads area. Take a look and if you can't find I'll have another look for it.
To edit the file you need a WAV editor. I'm guessing Creative might bundle something with their soundcards, or you can look on the Internet and take your pick from the cheap to the mega expensi've. Audacity might do it, and it's free http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ so worth checking.
MediaSource is the replacement for PlayCentre, but I think it just comes down to which you prefer (but they are very very similar). Note that you have to download the Nomad pack for MediaSource to get it to work with MediaSource.
When you transfer your converted MP3 to the player it's asking you for tag data, which is vital for the Music Library on the player. You can of course edit this tag information either in MediaSource direct, or probably more optimally in a dedicated tagging program.

Nomad Jukebox will not boot

Ok here is the deal, I ran out of memory while recording the other night no big deal it happened one other time and booted back up with no problem.
But this time I had no batteries in it so it gave me the message about it wont save playlist or something.
I went to upload the stuff I recorded on the PC and it just goes forever in the preparing library mode... I tried the diagnostic test and it just goes and goes.
I really dont want to reformat because there are some songs on there I know I will never be able to get back or record again.
Any suggestions?

Make absolutely sure you are following the correct procedure, and following it exactly. The method for the Nomad Jukebox is different to other players.
If you can't get into Rescue Mode the player is faulty.

Replacement Software CD for Nomad Jukebox

Hi,
Does anybody know how I can get a replacement installation CD for my Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen? My CD has been damaged and will not now play, it's not a major problem for me at the moment as everything is installed and working, but if I have a problem or want to move to a new PC I will be unable to install or repair my jukebox software.
There is no obvious part number on my CD but it is from 2002 and contains; Creative PlayCenter 3, Creative File Manager, Creative Audio Stream Recorder and some manuals.
I have searched the Creative website but can see no way of obtaining a copy direct from Creative.
I am in the UK.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Derek.

As per the?BEFORE you post, READ THIS FIRST (FAQ) post, look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
In short, all the software is at?Nomadworld.com downloads that you need. Although you can still order a replacement CD via Tech Support if you want.

Voice recording - disk sp

I have a 20 Gb Nomad Zen and am interested in doing some voice recording. Before I buy the FM voice thingy, does anybody know how many minutes of voice recording I get onto 20 Gb?
TIA

Just tried a short test voice recording with my Zen Touch. Looks like the start / stop of voice recordings are virtually unlimited, but the duration of all recordings added up cannot exceed 0 hours. Recording is in .wav format and I used Nomad Explorer to transfer from Zen to PC. Files could easily be burned onto an audio CD this way.
I bought the Zen Touch in Australia, and the FM / Voice recorder / wired remote came bundled with the deal for AU$399.00. I believe the wired remotes individual cost is around $50.00. The FM radio is very good with autoscan and about 20 preset station saves. It houses the built in mic with a small LCD readout depicting the tuned in station frequency or the track being played or the duration of the current recording etc.
I have only been playing with this unit for a week, and by no means consider myself to be an expert. Hope once again this helps you.

No driver found - Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - WinXP

I have used my Zen Xtra for over 2 years now, with the same PC I am currently having problems with. I recently had to do a complete reinstall of Windows (note that I have done at least 2 other complete reinstalls during the life of my Zen Xtra, with no problems). Windows Device Managers sees the NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra, but with the yellow question mark and exclamation point. Each attempt at driver installation results in the same problem. The driver ("JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.EXE") installs completely, I'm told to reconnect my device so the driver can take effect. When I do, the device is still marked in Device Manager with exclamation point and yellow question mark, and Windows continues to ask if it can find and install the driver. I have told it not to (knowing that I just installed Creative's own driver), with no success, and other times let Windows try to install the driver (hoping it would find the Creative driver that was just installed). No luck. I have even done another complete reinstall of Windows, and tried to install the driver before any other program or hardware installations into my system. No luck. Note that there are no hardware changes between now and when I have done other complete Windows reinstallations. It just no longer accepts the Creative driver. I have also tried to install the driver in safe mode, with the same results. I have also completely removed the Zen Xtra (showing hidden devices in the Device Manager), and tried to reinstall. Firmware version of Zen Xtra was upgraded over a year ago to 2.0.03.
Specifics:
Windows XP Pro SP2
38GB free hard dri've space
Zen Xtra firmware version: 2.0.03

I have the same problem. But when i try to installl it it says he is missing an .nfo file.
I removed WMP and reinstalled WM0 because is crap.
I have Windows XP SP2
I have the newst firmware on it.
Can somebody help me with this because it's annoying not to put any new music on your mp3 player.
I never experienced this before even after formatting my HD.
Almost the same problem as fritzm but not completely because het gets an different error.
I have installed the CD but that doesnt work either.
I have installed the software from the website but that didnt help because he doesnt recognize my player.
Please help!!

Unable To Repair/Update Firmware for a Creative Nomad Jukebox

Hello all,
I've been trying for the past...3 or 4 hours to get my player to work, but it simply refuses to work =P. I sent the problem into Creative, but haven't gotten a response for a couple days now. So, here's a copy-paste of what I sent in that e-mail. If you can think of anything that might help, please don't hesitate to post! I really need your help on this one!
My player's hard dri've recently died, and I received
a replacement from the original store (a CompUSA).
However, my Firmware for the device has failed. I
tried the firmware upgrade for my Zen, but after
a certain number of tries, I gave up. Here is the
list of steps that I followed.
On Zen: Click "Reload OS", let it run, it says
run the firmware upgrader now.
On Computer: "You cannot install this firmware
update with your player's current drivers using
the SB394 connector. To update your player's
firmware, this application will temporarily
replace the current drivers and restore them after
the installation is complete. Continue
installation?", I click Yes. Then it says to
disconnect, and re-connect. I do it.
It shows my version (.2.0), and I'm upgrading/
repairing it to .2.02. When I click "Upgrade", a
warning message pops up and says:
"Your player cannot start up properly. Please
reboot your player and run this application again.
I've done this at least 0 times, and nothing changes. My player is a Nomad Jukebox Zen, the one with a FireWire connection, and like I said,
I've tried this at least 0 times with the same results. Is there a process to completely remove
the firmware on the device, then reinstall it,
or to roll it back or something? Any other ideas
to fix this problem is needed as well.

Bump.

Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

Wanted: Sample source code for voice recorder

I've been google searching for some sample source code to implement a voice recorder on my AudioVox 5600. I would like to learn how to read from the microphone and write to my SD card in a standard file format like wav, wma or mp3.
Can anyone help me understand how to do this?
Thanks,
Siegfried

Basic would be ;
RESULT_FIELDS -xxx = <SOURCE_FIELDS> -xxx
you have the source fields as source, and result fields for as the target. In between you can check some conditions as in other routines of transformation.
BEGIN OF tys_SC_1, shows your source fields ( in your case DSO chars and key figures)
BEGIN OF tys_TG_1, , shows your result fields ( in your case Cube characteristics)
Hope this helps

Voice recording for jabber client

hi,
is there any voice recording solution for the jabber client via expressway E?
seems there is no solution around, is it not supported?
is it possible to use TCS to record the calls made by external jabber client?
thanks.

1. Use span (no span-less\Bridge_option) ports (via "expressway c e" from outside)
2. Use span-less\Bridge_option and VPN access to connect from outside (without expressway).
