I bought this as an update to the Cowon D2 8gb I currently own. I listen almost entirely to audiobooks, half from Audible, half as mp3 files from groups such as librivox. from Amazon.com Sound Quality: You must be tired hearing it by now but the sound quality on this thing is awesome. There are almost infinite options for tweeking it just to your liking. I have also purchased a 60GB Toshiba Gigabeat and a 16GB Creative Zen and this beats them both. 2. from Amazon.com I made the move to Cowon from a 30 GB video iPod that was on its last legs. I fired up the OCD while researching the replacement, as I tend to do, and settled on the D2 for a few reasons: from Amazon.com The Cowon D2 16G is a pleasant surprise, not without some small negatives, depending on what is important to you in a music/video player. To put my review in proper context: I use the player mostly in one place, so I am not concerned with "mobility" issues such as being able to control the player by touch while walking, running, etc. from Amazon.com This is a fantastic MP3 player. Amazing battery life, drag and drop loading, no software required, nearly every codec supported, unbelievable sound quality. If you buy an IPOD instead of the Cowon, you're probably an idiot or you just didn't research it well enough. The only issue with the Cowon is that it's not easy to find, but you won't be disappointed if you get one. from Amazon.com - the standard folder structure makes loading books and tracks very simple. I am over Itunes and do not miss it. - 16GB (or 8gb or 4GB) of internal memory, then an SD slot which means you can have as many SD cards as you want. bookmarks work on the current SD card no worries. from Amazon.com I absolutely love this media player. It has everything I could have asked for and more. from Amazon.com It has great sound, long battery life and will easily drive my high-end headphones without any extra boost to amplification. Some people have complained of database corruption, but that problem has been solved with the latest firmware, readily available online and no trouble to update, if you you don't get the latest firmware when you buy it. My Cowon has 16gb onboard, and I have a 32gb SDHC card, plus two 16gb cards for extra storage. (The only limit on a single card is 4000 files and folders per card.) That is a huge amount of music, and I can listen for days without having to recharge. from Amazon.com Really - once you accept the impossibility of loading media files onto this thing, it disappoints only in being too small for a doorstop. I was delayed in this realization by my silly expectation of using the D2 to play MP3 and AVI files. I had ignored all the warnings here and on other websites about D2 "database corruption". from Amazon.com The D2 is a great A/V player. I want true drag-and-drop capability for media files, multiple playback formats (including FLAC and OGG,) superior battery life (EVERYONE admits that Cowon owns this one,) high power output at the phones jack, and superior (not necessarily audiophile) sound quality. from Amazon.com
