Sounds like you have the latest.
There's a setting to turn off the charge circuit. Yours is not turned 
off, is it?
It's been a long time but I seem to recall the player won't start if the 
batteries are completely flat. Might try a fresh set of rechargeables or 
charge them and put them back in the unit.

I bought Notmad specifically for the feature that 'shuffles' playlists. 
I could create an 'All Tracks' playlist and shuffle it up to randomize 
it. Once in a while, shuffle it again so I don't hear the same songs in 
order...
Mine was originally a 6 gig. I put a 20 gig in it and when I bought my 
NJB3, I put an 80 gig in the NJB3 and put the 40 gig I took out of it in 
the NJB1.
The NJB1 is retired to desk duty now. The NJB3 only gets used on 
extended trips and recording sessions, and I have a MuVo� for daily 
listening... No Iplods for this guy!
