What is the difference, any sound quality differences?

 

[TooNice]

"L" version is a bit thicker but last twice as long (battery wise).

 

[Hey_Its_Cole]

I see! So no other differences?

 

[Chri5peed]

20GB & 30GB.

The standard X5 occasionally whips your arse too.

 

[LFC_SL]

Get the 'L', like moi...mine should turn up soon

Don't compromise. You'll only regret it

Also, when the batt inevitably degrades after 3-4years (as in all built ins), the 'L' will still last into double figures

 

[luuk]

The L is heavier and thicker (0.5cm overall). It's up to you. I would get the x5l. unless it really needs to slide in your pocket easily then get the x5

 

[Hey_Its_Cole]

X5L it is, thanks. Now 20 gig or 30 gig??? I don't think I need 30 gigs but I am afraid I will regret it. I don't think I can fill up 20 gigs but I am sure I will eventually. Ah such a hard decision.

Depending on how many songs you have....have them in WAV...X5 has like a 0.002 sec gap for that...practically gapless. Think about it - if you don't have many songs, might as well go lossless or whatever. But prob easier with 30gb for the margin

iaudiophile.net (forum) has good info my friend

I am running FLAC but I probably only have 2-3k songs, but that is groing by ten a week or so....., sometimes more.

The X5 plays FLAC.

 

[Hey_Its_Cole]

Exactly why I want it.

Well, if you use FLAC I think its a no-brainer to get the 30GB. In fact they do a 60GB, if you can stretch to that...

In my experience FLAC files are 4 times bigger than my mp3s, they certainly don't sound 4 times better...

 

[TooNice]

Then again, you then need to decide between X5 60GB or X5L 30GB.

The 60GB version is a bit thicker than the 20 and 30GB version, hence they are not doing a 60GB version of the X5L.
