* For how long have you been using it?
I use it for a few days to replace my Archos 404 which has passed away.
* What thing do you like most/least about it?
I originally purchased primarily for its storage capacity fairly consistent. But I must say that sound level, the record is good but ultimately if they have a good headset support (I have the Sennheiser CX300). Otherwise it is a pity that there have not customizable equalizer and he'll have to settle the many available presets (rock, jazz ...) which are all different, but for some, high saturated volume. Exactly when the volume, it can go very high to my surprise. I fear that Apple are running the same law as Sony. Otherwise level use of the device itself, it is not very complicated, what it will take a little time to adjust to get used to the navigation wheel. Otherwise black spot on Itunes recess. It is not necessarily complicated software but very vicious. It will take patience and nerve to control this software (for example to put music, you have already the album is fully tagged to avoid mixing not possible in the library, then copy it to a folder " automatically add to iTunes "and not import it directly from the software because it does not work! That's what I think vicious!). The only advantage of iTunes is that when everything is sorted with covers and everything else (it took me 4 full days to 22go music and yet I have not imported all my cds, most were computer) is that it makes good on the ipod and class, that's all! Otherwise level contents of the box except for a headphone and a USB cable, there is nothing except a tiny manual 3-page leaflet in English. Apple on this side would have done better!
* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I tried everything, the sound is not as good as Sony and Cowon's for sure, but even better to me than all other brands (Philips, Samsung, marks the first prize, Sandisk ...). I would say it lies at Creative.
* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Having good enough storage capacity and battery life
* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
I do not know, having a tight budget does not take a Cowon but needing a thinner device for mobility, why not?
