    Well I've been looking for a good mp3 player for about two years because i can't get an Ipod because you can't use two in the same computer or something dumb. It started Sony NWZ-E455 16GB which held all my music which is about 9GB but the fault with this mp3 player was that the volume wasn't high enough and kept randomly freezing. Then i got two Philips one was PHILIPS SA1OPS16K GoGear Opus 16 GB which was good and it was 16GB but after about 7GB space taken up it wouldn't put any more songs on even though it had 9GB left and if you tried to but any more music on it would delete the playlist. I also had Philips GoGear MP4 player SA2ARA16K/02 which is 16GB which had the same problem but if you like bassy music it would hit the low notes brilliantly. Also i had the creative zen x-fi which was brilliant stored all my music but the mp3 player didn't hit the really low notes and it would double all the songs when i tired to add one or two songs to the mp3 player via windows media. Then i decided to buy the cowon i9 because i looked at the reviews and they seemed to be good, so i bought it and it is easily the best mp3 player I've had since an Sony A818 which i lost. The sound on the I9 is brilliant, hits the low notes very well but not as good as the Philips GoGear SA2ARA16K/02 but with the right equalizer settings and the right headphones it will be brilliant. stores all my music in the playlist fine and is very loud but if you want it to be loud make sure that when you first turn it on make sure it's set outside of Europe otherwise it will but the limiter on making it not as loud as mine. :P
    I don't know what the video is like on this mp3 player because i don't use it but i hope this review kind of helped you.

    Perfection! 23 July 2010
    It's been almost a month I own this device and I must say, this is far the best multimedia player I ever had. The player itself is elegant, light and very comfortable to hold in your hand. The menu is easy to use and well designed. The strongest feature of the player is the sound quality. It's amazing! Loud and crystal clear. It has 40 volume levels and over 32 you easily become deaf. From all the players in the market this is the only one, which plays the most of the audio formats (MP3 WMA OGG WAV APE FLAC) - iPod and some other players can't - and support gapless playback as well - Samsung for example can not. To copy music to the device you don't need any software, just copy and paste files to the Music library and you're done.
    With the i9 you can watch videos (very nice picture quality, however the screen is a bit to small for watching movies), browse photos, read text, listen radio and record sound with the built in microphone. It also has a little speaker in the bottom, but I've never used it. The touchpad is awesome too, never had any problem with it.
    The only downside is the earphones. If you want to enjoy the player's brilliant sound properly you need to purchase a better one. Apart this, everything is fine. For me this is the best mp3 player, the perfect MP3 player. It steals a march at all the others. Don't hesitate to buy it, you won't regret it ever.

    Very Pleased 19 Mar 2011
    By nat
    After a lot of research I decided to buy the Cowon i9 and I must say that I'm very pleased. Definitely louder than any other player I've had and very easy to manage.
    Easy to drag and drop music, create folders and change settings. Great selection of EQ settings ( very effective with good headphones) and very light.

    Would highly recommend this product.
