Cowon iAudio E2 Review

I have never been a strong supporter of the screenless MP3 player. It is a niche product for those who want to just throw some tunes on a player and hit shuffle and I never really fell into this scenario. However, I will admit, I had a great time...

OK, Clip+ much better.

I bought this back in November on an impulse. I haven't really used it much since. It is a bit overpriced for what you get, but it does play FLAC which is nice. The buttons are tiny and seem awkwardly placed. I always get the buttons mixed when it's in...
