This is a very nice little player, well-made and good sound quality. I really like it, and would give it 5 stars...except:
It is useless for Windows media (WMA) protected files such as audio books. It plays them fine, but the trouble is that the "resume" feature and the bookmark feature don't work with these files. So you shut it off, and the book starts again. These are one large file, so you have to skip in maximum 30-second jumps to your spot, if you can remember where you were by the time you get there (2-3 hours at 30 seconds per jump?).
The timer, to top it off, doesn't work with these files either, so you haven't a clue where you were unless you look at your watch when you start the book. There is no way to mark or return to your place. Pause the playback, and it powers off automatically in a short time...oops, lost your place, start over.
The resume feature works fine with normal mp3 files. I actually do like this player, and have tried (tried, not succeeded) to contact Cowon support to see if they're going to fix this soon with a firmware update...otherwise, I'm afraid it's useless for most of my purposes. |
