- Unit quits after a month
There were problems inputting movies through the AV inputs. I had to reset it once to get it to work. Now, after uploading some music files I came back later to find a hot unit and white screen with the USB connection lost. When I disconnected from the USB it quit and nothing brings it to life again: whether I used the on/off button, reset, reconnection to USB (assuming the battery to be dead). This particular unit does not live up to the advertised functionality (AV analog movie making - the connection ... Read More
Rating: - The best PMP but with too many tech issues
First off,
I think this is the best product out on the market. It does everything. Instead of buying a downloaded movie file, I can just hook up my DVD player into my Cowon A3 and just record my favorite movie just like that.
Some say that it is hard to organize the files but I don't think so. What I do because I listen to Gospel and hip hop, I created to sub folders inside of the music file (Gospel & hip Hop & R&B) and copy my music files by Artist name then Album and then Track. It's ... Read More
Rating: - Don't by Cowon products...
I have been thoroughly disappointed with their products and lack of customer service. They average about 2-3 weeks to return an email for customer service issues. I finally got through to a representative and was advised to send the product back to them, at my own expense and they emailed back about 1 month later stating that there is no problem with the item. When I emailed back with a detailed description of the specific situation I encountered (item stopped powering on or charging through the USB port) ... Read More

- Great specifications but bad first experience
I was excited to receive my Cowon A3.I immediately updated the firm ware from the web site.The screen then went white and would not respond to any commands or resets.I contacted Cowon tech support.They could not figure out the problem after several emails and asked me to send it in to Cowon for repair.It appeared to be DOA.I sent the unit back to Amazon instead for a refund.I took a chance and ordered another one.After one use it seems to be fine.Time will tell.Great specifications.

- The Ultimate Traveling Companion?
This is a truly stunning device.
I have spent the last 4 days loading it with media files, including divx dvd rips, F1 & MotoGP races in xvid format, and a dozen .flac albums and have been blown away by the playback in every case. Aside from an audio de-synch issue that seems to be related to animation files, the performance has been flawless. This may be the ultimate traveling companion.
If you have reasonably moderate skill with portable tech (even though loading files is an ... Read More
