Hi,
My old Creative Zen MP3 player has just gone titsup - it’s gone into
recovery mode and attempts to reload the firmware come up with device not
connected errors (even under Windoze XP)
So I’m looking around for a replacement and the Cowon D2 looks good as it
takes SD cards like the zen (and I’d just bought 2 new 8Gb cards).
The Zen used mtpfs which worked under linux but not well an I believe the D2
just connects as USB memory.
Anyone out there using a Cowon D2 under Linux?
Any comments - good/bad?
It is a great little device! I haven’t used it a lot so far, but the sound quality is very impressive. I also bought a set of Klipsch Image X5 plugs - wonderful sound.
The Cowon does support MTP (or at least the D2+). Amarok 2.2 picks up the Cowon in MTP mode if you have the appropriate mtp packages installed. So you can connect by whichever method you prefer.
The Cowon feels quite solid, and is more chunky than comparable devices. But, for my needs, which are really all about music, the Cowon is much better value than an ipod - and I think the Cowon sounds better.
