Most compatible (and favorite) music service for Cowon D2? I just got my first mp3 (Cowon D2), and I am wondering which online music service(s) are easiest and most compatible with the D2?

I use Rhapsody to Go. The only thing is you have to put the Cowon into the MTP mode (settings/system/USB system), not MSC mode. Also, I am using the 2.51 firmware. My Cowon came with 2.46 installed, and Rhapsody didn't recognize it until I installed 2.51. Also, the Rhapsody software is very slow at copying songs to the Cowon, so don't try syncing when you are in a hurry!

I would say contact customer service but the line is perpetually down. Is the music in the correct format? Is the device showing up in "My Computer" (assuming you use Windows)? Which program are you using to sync files, if any?I would really advise you to ship it back to Amazon and get a refund because this thing is a piece of junk.

Hello Eric. This is quite an old device, amazing I got a follow up. This is only a player as far as I know. I do not recall any software that came with it - though it has been 5 years or so.We use it to play on-hold music via a 256mb (yes 1/4 gb) memory stick. Running constant for many years, never a problem. Been a great device.That being said, there is no reason you cannot create a set of mp3 files yourself on a normal computer and then use this device to play them. So many programs to use for such a purpose.

Are your music files normal mp3's or copy-protected music? If they're normal mp3's, then you should be fine. If you use some subscription service (which I don't, or really know anything about) and have a computer full of windows media files infected with that DRM junk, then you might have to. Before I bought the Zen SLeek, I was looking at the Toshiba Gigabeat (same price and capacity), but I passed on it once I found that it converts your mp3's to copy-protected wma files when you trasfer them to your player. The Zen Sleek does not do that.

I too had no luck with Rhapsody to go on the Sansa Fuze, after doing everything i could think of, firmware updates, installed windows updates, reinstalled Rhapsody, formatted my device. After too much frustration, i switched to Napster to go and it works perfectly. I like Rhapsody Unlimited but i need to be able to load my mp3 player up and i could never get Rhapsody to work at all with my mp3 Fuze. Rhapsody is best for those who want to listen online only, but Napster is best if you have an mp3 player you want to load up.

Hey Deanna, I purchased this item on Sept 9th, and I am still using it. I am happy to share with you my experiences thru which you will find the answers to your questions. Firstly, I would care to let you know why I purchased this item. I love to listen to my favorites musics on the go. I had used transmitters of the other so-called brands, and ended up using a tape adapter, but I was not satisfied because they died earlier. So, I purchased this device. Secondly, I tell you the good things about it. Whatever channel you choose, the transmission is 100% clear with no intercession with the others. The transmission goes widely to a point that another car can stick on your musics with no interruption. It reads everything mentioned, and even a flash drive. It plays alphabetically, so you can choose what music must be played first by naming the music with an A...or a number 1..2..3... I can't tell about the MP4, because I don't have any file in that format. Overall, I would just suggest that you give it try...and then...tell me whether or not my answer was reasonable to you. Thanks!

Just like any other MP3 player - all I did was upload music I had already dowloaded onto my destop. I never download direct to the player from a site. I like to check that the download works properly first on my desktop before saving it over. Hope that helps.

for internet music only, it's the same. But, t200, has more little add on's that can be useful. And some old useless things removed. get the upgrade, because they see what people needed. you will love it, and set up the online account to use the service they give free, at the web site. it downloads to tuner if you have tuner on.

If you TRULY do not care about video I would go with the Cowon iAUDIO 9. You can get the 16 GB for about $150. I have the 8 GB iAUDIO 9, and it is a great player. The sound is amazing, it is small (smaller than a 5th gen iPod Nano), simple easy to use interface, it even have a place to attach a lanyard so I can wear it when I workout. It is prone to finger prints so get a UV screen protector to help with that.But if you think you might want video (or need 32 GB) then go with the Cowon S9, the 16 GB model is about $170 and the 32 GB for $220.

Unfortunately, this is my biggest gripe about all MP3 players - PROGRAMABILITY! The only way you're going to be able to play the way you want is to build playlists on your computer and then select random play. Or you can use the bookmark feature directly on the Gigabeat and have it randomly play. There is no way to play just an artist or genre folder randomly.

Thanks again, Buddy. Do you recommend any other brand of player for Overdrive WMA books other than Sansa? I am quite happy with Sansa but my favorite model is becoming scarce and therefore few bargains, especially since I need several. Thanks, again!

The product info said "It automatically organizes your MP3 files into different artists, styles, genre and album" ... I didn't remember it would do that cause it took me nearly a year to decide to learn how to convert my iTunes music to play on this player. I never found a note in the manual about this and I think that the playlists are not something you can do, but rather it's an id tag on your music. Read that product info again on the page. It makes this album thing sound like a plus when now I can't get my player to just play all the music one after another. I don't think it will be an easy thing to make your own playlist with it. I've only just now thought to look for a web site for them: http://pyruselectronicswebsite.blogspot.com/ Time for me to do more research...

Should be ,I think incompatibility only occurs when you have a newer player designed to also download compressed files from your computer with hundreds?of songs, in that case you may need a higher grade md.These should be good with all older players downloading in real time.Ask Sony they would have definitive info.

I called Mattel support and in about 4 hrs I recieved email with the new code. The new code worked and I'm be able to download music for my daughter now. Hope will work the same to you all. Good luck!

Cowon uses Windows Explorer (or whatever operating system you have on your computer) to see the music you have (MP3's usually) and you just drag and drop them to and from the player. Simple and effective. That is one of the major reasons why I chose a Cowon (quite apart from the music quality being 10 times better than iPods!). No stupid, pain-in-the-rear iTunes!!!! Any other questions, please let me know.

Hi Larry - I am also looking for mp3 player for audiobooks from NetLibrary - Do you know if Sansa has bookmarking feature? How did you narrow your choices to Sansa? Thanks for your help. Willow
