I actually preferred the D2. It will play the SD card recordings of DAB radio broadcasts from Roberts and Pure radios (MP2) without conversion or transfer being necessary because you can just put the cards in the slot. It also plays the FLAC files that I download from the
Philadelphia Orchestra.
I found the best video conversion software to be
Slysoft's CloneDVDmobile rather than Cowon's own. I abandoned Cowon's software entirely and just drag and drop MP3s made in Itunes in 'My Computer'.
