CNet reviews the Cowon iAudio M3 , the surd disk - based thespian that wangle to be small than the iPod , albeit by move the showing and controls to an in - line module . It that ’s not the sort of affair that bothers you , though ( and if you have n’t had a portable thespian with an in - line remote before , I think it ’s something you ’ll see you use more often than you ’d think ) , the M3 offers solid alternative to other unvoiced disc players , with good battery living ( around 15 hours ) , support of OGG / WMA / MP3 ( although no DRM variants ) , line - in analogue recording , and an build - in FM receiving set . The in - line remote control has a decent blind , too , with a six - communication channel , backlit display . Although it is n’t in many store yet , the price could be good . Minidisc AUhas it for $ 599AUD , which erupt down to a little over $ 400USD for a 20 GB player — that ’s more expensive than the iPod , the image of overprice players .
