The best portable digital audio player on the market! I'm in love with this little device. I wish it had more than 16GB of memory, but for a flash player it's about the best you can get right now, and your really can't beat its price for it either. A 16GB flash based iPod or any of the other mainstream players will cost you at least $100 more and won't be nearly as nice either... This little guy does everything I wanted it to. When I was shopping for a PMP/DAP I was primarily concerned with finding an "mp3 player" that could play Ogg Vorbis as well... not only does it do that, but it plays FLAC too! It does allow you to watch (minuscule) videos, look at pictures and read plain text files...but those are all bonus, and not really the main focus of the product. The little OLED screen on it is pretty nice, and I don't mind it being tiny since I just want to listen to music 99.9% of the time anyway. As an Ubuntu user, it was very important that it be fully Linux compatible, and it works just fine. There is some sort of software that comes with it, but it's Windows only. Once again, I'm fine with that as it mounts up just like any other flash drive. It seems to have a really nice battery life so far (built-in lithium ion), but I am concerned about what will happen 2 or 3 years from now if it gets warn out and I need to replace it or something. I also find the scroll bar to be a little too sensitive, even set to the lowest sensitivity setting. Also do beware that the manual that comes with this thing is practically worthless. There's a .txt file preloaded on it that tells you a little more about some of it's features...but it's been pretty much trial and error for me figuring out all of its intricacies. Besides those few minor gripes, this thing is awesome! I'm so glad I bought it :)
Should be a Bestseller! Just about everything in the specs are pros. It plays a large array of file types, has linux compatibility, sounds great, awesome battery life, is small but not too small and the package was easy to open (not in that hard, sealed plastic). I couldn't be more pleased with this music player. It can show video and pictures (as well as other features I will not personally use) but I wouldn't watch video from the screen nor would I save pictures to it to show to friends. Overall, I don't know why anyone looking for a flash based music player would go with anything else
In response to the review on Jan. 4, 2008 This definitely isn't true audiophile quality, it probably is thought to be for various reasons. I think most people refer to the sound as being audiophile-like, because everything out there for a portable flash/hd based player sounds like a$$ "for the most part" (this being much better than competing Creative, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Sandisk products available). But mostly, people do not understand (how high the ceiling goes) or live in that audiophile realm ($1500-$100,000+ receivers, speakers and such). I have owned 2 prior iRiver models and 2 other iAudio's (I have also used other peoples Ipods, Nanos, Creative, Samsung and Sandisk products for trial over the last 5 years). This model is definitely an improvement in sound quality over the previous Cowon U3 4gb I owned. And closer to, if not surpassing the quality of my 895 iRiver and the 512mb model before that. I own some HD580 and HD600 Sennheiser's and they sound listenable, but there is definitely a lack of punch, depth to the soundstage, but thats ok, because thats about as good as it gets for now with portables and I personally need something for the gym. It's a great player once you get used to the sensitivity controls and menus, which is expected. I definitely wish Cowon would add true playlist support, so people can create multiple playlists at home on their pc and store them in a player folder for playback later on the portable. The iAudio 7 8gb is probably the best model currently as it doesn't seem to suffer from the transfer speed problems of the 16gb model, and surpassing 4,000 files would be quite hard with 8gb. As long you are willing to swap files around occasionally (if opting away from the 16gb model), it's a better value until Cowon irons out some kinks and players get even bigger. (Amazon wouldn't let me post my response comment due to some guideline I couldn't figure out, so I am just posting my comment as a review, enjoy)
