btw, the main reason for me for getting a cowon was the line-in recording facility.
looks very nice actually... how much does it cost? can't find a price anywhere on their website.
i paid 160 € through ebay / bought it directly from cowon (was a promo item used for reviewing by someone and got sent back to cowon) plus a 10er for the line-in adapter cable. but mind you: the earplugs supplied are not really hi-fi, but still ok for me, though.

I went for a sony nwz-s639f. It was dirt cheap - I got it for £79 off Amazon and its amazing. With the right EQ and earphones you can make it sound like you are in the middle of fabric if you so desire. The sound quality without any EQing though is superb.

I wouldnt ever not buy a Sony now. it has 40 hours battery life (3 mins charge gives you a couple of hours use), needs no software installed on your computer.

The new ipods have terrible sound output.

I've read excellent reviews about the Cowon's sound and I'm waiting for my ipod to crash to get one of those.

Good luck
