Cowon iAudio X5 (30GB) or sony hd5

Sep 13, 2005 3:55PM PDT

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a new Mp3 player and I really don't know which one to choose...I really want an mp3 player that is durable and small (I have had bad experiences with Rio mp3 players) and yet has many features. The sony hd-5 is a excellent size, changable battery, but almost no features. I like the X5 but I'm not sure if I should get it cause I think its a little too big and heavy...but it has awesome feature and it plays video! Another drawback is the id3 tags and the fact that the firmware to allow that has not been released yet...so which one do you think i should go with? any other recommendations? THANKS ALOT IN ADVANCE!
