New Firmware for Cowon S9!

The headline feature is Gapless support!  This is compatible with all lossless files (WAV, FLAC, APE, OGG and LOSSLESS WMA) but not yet with lossy files like MP3 and WMA.  This means you can listen to your mix albums, or classical albums in original quality, with the original structure - no pauses!

That's not all though.  The player now supports M3U - the playlist file format used by the majority of media players on the PC (including Windows Media Player)  So, you can create a playlist on your PC that you simply transfer to the S9 - it can recognise up to 400 different playlists with up to 400 songs in each!

There's more - improved Bluetooth performance, a typist (notepad with keyboard) app and fixes for some minor bugs.  It can even play damaged AVI files now.

Cowon iAudio 7 16GB - save £100

The iAudio 7 is a premium player - perhaps the only player that sounds better is it's big brother, the iAudio D2. The sound quality is excellent, but the real headline is the battery life. The iAudio 7 can play for a constant 60 hours!

The downside to this, is that this has never come cheap. Well, Cowon have been paying attention and though decreasing memory costs they have managed to hack the price - the original RRP was £234.95 - the player's RRP is now a stunning £129!
