my 3 yr old ipod's scroll wheel is kinda messin up( it okay i hate itunes anyway)while i havent really used my zune that i bought during the office max sale(180usd) because of the complicated zune software. dont get me wrong i know how to use them but just dont want to do the hassle. i need a decent player that can be plugged in as usb mass storage device---drag and drop

im also eyeing the clix two but the sd card expansion of cowon is just great........not to mention it'sw advertised battery life and good sq accompanied by 5 band eq . should i getthe d2 or there is something beter out there

so is it worth it it only 10usd away from a refurbished 30g ipod video,,,,,that i can rockbox to use the drag and drop


thnks in advance

What about the Cowon Q5? Although I'm not sure if it's out yet.

I mean the Q5 owns the D2 because the Q5 has enough space for FLAC usage.

BTW rockbox lets you drag and drop? The only reason I don't have an ipod is itunes.

apparently,yes. but you have to place it in the "files" folder and cannot be acess as your database which means the hd inside ur ipod will spin more than usual. so the battery life drastically goes down.

damn, I knew it was too good to be true.

the battery on the rockbox ipod is really low, but it's still a few hours, if you can deal with that.

otherwise, the D2 is a great player. Especially considering it'll take and 8gb SDHC card too. I bought and traded one away, but I'm probably going to end up buying another one with a nice SDHC card. I really liked it and www.iAudiophile.net is a great resource too.
