I want to expand on the space in my Cowon J3... Will this card fit? I've never added any microSD or SD card in it before :O

No it will not. That is a SDHC card and not a microSD card. Also the Class 10 is super excessive. Classes determine the speed at which they can be written to (and possibly read from, I can't remember) and the J3 won't utilize anything above class 4 (I think it's actually class 2 but not 100%).

Any class of microSD card will work. Just DO NOT buy a microSDXC card, as those most likely will NOT work.
 
As for the card the OP listed, that'll work in the Cowon D2/D2+, but NOT in the Cowon J3 - it's too big.
 
This will work: SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Memory Card (Bulk Package)


Did you try this card on your J3? Can you confirm that it works? thanks.

look, even class 10 works, but j3 just does not write at that speed on the card....it will not make anything better, and is a LOT more expensive.... is like buying a 10 feet cable (400$) even throught you could have bought a 2 feet (100$) for a pair of sennheiser hd800(1200$), even throught the cable makes no difference to the sound, and your amplifier is on the table, so the cable will stay on the floor.....

I had a couple of bad experiences with cheap cards, one off of ebay and the other off of a seller on Amazon. I got my money back from the ebay seller and have an A-Z claim on Amazon over the second. Neither card worked with the J3 or with my Fuze for that matter.

you should be using only kingston or sandisk... i heard about something like... team, transcend, that may work, but may have problems, and all of other brands, do not lasted on me more than 2 weeks.... the worst was a microsdhc card that was not from any brand...

I recently bought the J3, and I'm wondering if either or both of these are compatible with the J3 (and what the difference is between them):
 
edit: I see from above that the 2nd one is compatible....

Update: the J3 can use a 64 or 128 gb SDXC card if formatted correctly: http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=40113&highlight=64gb+SDXC

I forgot to post it's proven possible. :D
