Cowon peeps unite. Let's recommend a music player, learn, testimonials...
kitamesume:
if you really want pure compatibility and fully featured aside from battery life, check the one i suggested and anything similar to that (small laptops or palmtops) you could customize your player and most of the time you`d be able to enjoy your music hassle free(after you finished customizing), include video playback in that too but on a small screen tho. its the perfect mobile juke box i could think of, you could surf on it as well, doubt you could play any titled games tho.

Amazon.com has always been a bitch to me, so I don't use them.
NCIX and Newegg are the ones I order such things from, and both didn't stock the S9.
My J3 came in today! :D After everything, the 32GB ver was 303CAD including GST and shipping.
Why S9 vs J3?
1. Discontinued on the sites I frequent
2. Price difference was small enough I decided to try out the J3
3. If I decide to try and "fix" my S9, 2 of them would be stupid. (Or I might consider getting rid of the S9... if anyone needs parts)
Notes:
I personally prefer the button positions of the S9 over the J3... but the fact I have buttons again = YAY!
FUCK you iPhone4. Your audio days are now pretty much over.
J3 seems snappier in response than the S9. Default "OS" look on S9 IMO was better looking though. J3 looks... pixelated?
Built in speaker on J3 definitely a bonus. Not sure how much I will use it though.
Expandable memory definitely a plus for the J3.
MP3 playback interface looks identical to the S9.
S9 had a sleeker look, was lighter.
J3 has a more solid look, "looks" practical.
S9 has a black cable... J3 has a white one? What's up with that?
*Begins loading music like a madman*
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Shit... forgot to buy an i9 while I was at it... oh well... New toy = happy time!
mgz:
cable is white because they started standardizing that cable its a korean standard which hopefully means no more new proprietary cable for each new cowon design that comes out which = good.
That also = buy lots of 1 color cable or another to save a couple pennies per cable which probably is a decent savings for them.
fohfoh:
AFAIK, that cable is standard to all sorts of small electronic devices in Korea. Sort of like what mini USB is to us.
It's not necessarily proprietary, until you go outside of Korea.
Gotta get used to having the buttons on the side rather than the top.
Edit: Kinda miss being able to turn off the screen and lock it by flipping a physical toggle switch instead of double tapping the power button now.
Normal vs Headphones/BBE..... FUCK YES! HUGE! Literally feels like 2D to 4D even on an mp3, let alone flac. Flac is even bigger.

i think you misread what i wrote. I said its a korean standard cable which hopefully = no more random ass proprietary things from cowon (every player they have in the past uses different chargers and some had different usb connections and shit. Also different video out cables on each.
