are the Cowon iAUDIO X5 series, which seem to quite hard to get hold of
and very expensive (£250 to £300 depending on battery and hard drive
size - though the extended battery and 30 gig hard drive model is the
£300 one. Versus the £130 that I've paid to comet - it should arrive on
saturday).

The Cowon kit is actually really good (and Cowon support Linux directly). The
model you mention is no longer available because it's been superceded by a
thing with a screen (forget the model number).</pre>

Actually Geoff, <a
href="http://www.mp3players.co.uk/site/uk/iaudio_x5_30gb.html">this</a>
is the one that I was refering too - I presume its the one you're
thinking of ? - screen and all that! If it is, it's a rather good piece
of kit IMO, if the Karma doesn't work out I think I'll try to track
down the 30 gig X5L model for battery/playing time, as well as the
screen and the FLAC support.<br>
