Very important feature that I need is exchangable batteries. I hate mp3 players that you have to recharge. And don't give me any good arguments about rechargable mp3 players being cheaper because at work I have an unlimited supply of batteries for free.
The thing is that in my hometown the only decent mp3 players they sell are all rechargable. "They are more popular" is what they said there. Now however I am in the middle of Berlin and I am sure they have a better selection of mp3 players, so II guess we will stroll down some shops to look for mp3 players.

i agree swappable batteries is a huge plus, its quite difficult to find though since most players dont use a regular battery since they are trying to make the player smaller, most store bought batteries waste lots of space.
So rechargable batteries = better cuz you can get one that is thin and long and manufacturer it.
But hot swapping batteries is nice

OK, hot swapping is nice, but really, are you ever more than 5 feet away from an electrical outlet? I have an wall outlet USB adapter so I never run out of charge.
Additionally, hot swappable batteries would mean a player has less advanced features, and is flash based. That's a deal killer for me.

You misunderstand. Ace has had his mp3 since the army days when he actually did not have access to wall sockets. He is used to that style and that is the style he continues to prefer.
What about this though, there's one of those chargers for the iPod that can have batteries placed inside for power. Is one of these available for the Cowon or other mp3s? That way he can have the hot swap capabilities yet the awesomeness of the small size (+the awesome music support iPod can't really support for him).

Yeah, that I can understand (my friend was in Iraq so I'd send him AAAs for his Creative player all the time) but I'd say most people don't have that problem, and are most likely in range of AC power/USB ports on a computer most of the time.
