I own a Cowon 30G X5 (not L), and I love it. It plays FLAC with the original firmware -- an important feature that appeals to a quality freak like me. The only inconvenient is that you need to attach a small subpack in order to charge and access the device. I have more than once temporary misplaced this small piece of hardware. Other than that, I absolutely love the X5. --- Samuel Chow Segmentation Fault (core dumped) This message is displayed using recycled electrons.
