Do they exist? I'm looking for one but don't even know if they exist. Was looking for something with more than 40gb capacity. Thanks in advance.

Firmware modding is ok with me, but I'm staying away from iPods, didn't like using them. Would prefer if file transfer is done by drag-and-drop, trying to avoid more software.

Do a search, it has been discussed very often.
All (or most) Cowon models support FLAC.
Meizu (M6SL is nice), Teclast, and the Trekstor Vibez.

Cowon Q5W 40gb and 60gb
Cowon A3 60gb
Cowon D2 16gb+32gb SDHC
Cowon X5 60gb

What's wrong with iPods? Especially with Rockbox, you can use drag-and-drop and folder browsing. However, Rockbox makes it noticeably slower and it loses battery life.

It's 32gb short of your minimum =\
If you want a cheap, great FLAC player, I'd say Fuze is the #1 option.

True, but all the high capacity players are immensely bulky. I also found this iAUDIO, it's 16gb. Can anyone confirm its quality?

I have the iAudio 7, it's really good if you're after small compact size factor that fits in your pocket. Been using it for a long time now, the only thing that could be improved is cosmetic looks, imagine iPod's look + Cowon's quality.

Great to hear they are good. I don't give a crap about cosmetics though, so I guess it's all better
