Hello. Thanks for the reply, I've hunted but sadly it seems that player costs more second hand than a new Cowon S9! Maybe I'll start lower down the range, whatever I end up with will be better than an iPod I guess. Now I just need to learn how to record good quality onto the thing. E.

Hello. So, I've decided I need to drop the MP3 players I own in the bin because after buying some new Grados the iPod's are sounding terrible, no matter how high I encode the MP3. So, as the only MP3 player which will sound good and play lossless is the Cowon which I can't afford right now, I thought about going to minidisc and recording from my Mac onto the disc in super good lossless quality. But, which player is right for me? I'll be recording directly from my Mac, it doesn't need a mic on it, I'd prefer something with a rechargeable cell in it, and the headphone jack needs to be in a sensible place as the Grado jack is big. I'm not fussed about brands, I just want great sound in my ears and a fairly OK battery life. Any help would be great. Regards, A.
