Hello,

I’m looking for a MP3-player and need help.

It should be:
-Flashplayer
-1 GB
-rechargeable, (removable?) battery/accu
-It should encode line-in audio direct to MP3
-Very good sound

Until now I found one candidade: Trekstor i.Beat organix. What do You think about this player? Alternatives?

Thank You!!

Cowon's iAudio U2 will do all of that, and a lot of people seem to like that

When it comes to MP3 players, its almost always wiser to go with the more mainstream brands. I haven't actually heard of that player, so take my comments with a grain of salt, there are always exceptions.

Also, how much quality do you expect of the line-in encoding? The iAudio U2 has a max input bitrate of 128kbps and uses the older, noisy XING encoder. So... it may or may not appease you.

Actually, I remember that someone here posted a pic of that player here once, maybe they'll help you out with some opinions.

U2 should be good enough...easy to use, load of features...

unless...you're gonna wait for the F1...

The U2 seems to be good. What's about the battery/accu? Can I change it without problems?

A resume-function would be helpful. Something like the Creative Nano Plus. Do the U2 have such function?

Creative MuVo N200 seems to fit the description. After three months of use, I am fairly happy with the performance of its closest kin, the V200 (I`ve traded line-in encoding for USB plug, the N200 uses cable). It sounds very nice when I plug my Ultrasone Trackmasters into its headphone out, has enough power to pump up these big cans. I haven`t heard many flash players and I can only compare it to a friend`s unknown producer`s product, which it beats in the sound compartment with ease. Soundwise, the one AAA battery powered V200 is very close my 2xAA battery powered Panasonic SX-428 PCDP. It does have a resume function.
