A couple of months ago, I sold off my Classic because I wasn't happy with the sound quality, and I had had enough of iTunes and Apple trying to kill all my humanity off so they could replace me with a robot zombie clone iMe.
I got a 32gb J3 instead and couldn't have been happier. Great touch screen, easy UI, drag and drop file storage (I use MediaMonkey, which is ace), cool form factor, buttons on the sides for pocket access to volume, hold play and pause etc, flac compatibility, upgradeable memory with sd card, and - get this - actual user customisable EQ, with brilliant JetEffect 3.0 and BBE+ enhancements.
This ability to tweak the sound coming out of the J3 is a real clincher for me - Apple suck to the max for having such arsetastic presets and no custom eq, and Cowon give you so many options for pimping your choons its untrue. Now I have beautiful music playing every time I put my headphones (Etymotic HF5s - probably the best bang for pound iems on the market) in my ears.
I say break that Apple umbilical and make the adult choice of Cowon.
Sounds interesting. How would the J3 be for joggiing?
Depends where you want to keep it on your body! It's a very slim player, so perfect for pockets, and you can easily change tracks and volume etc when on the move without looking at the screen. Battery length is great too.
