Cowon now has the 2.29, 3.29, and 4.29 versions available.

Great, downloading right now... Keep the updates coming Cowon; all the way to 2.2

Can anyone that owns a D3 tell me if this latest firmware completely fixed the audio glitches when playing music?

[miykael]

I am still having issues with cowon's music player app. One being that my tags are not displayed properly, its probably the file type (.m4a); I am using itunes to organize my music.

Although, I have yet to run into the occasional stutter at the beginning of a track as I did with firmware 3.27 and previous firmwares.

I did try using rockbox, don't like the look and didn't want to go through the trouble of theming the the app.

I tried poweramp but get the same results with the tags not being displayed properly. I liked the UI and will consider that app if the issue with my tags gets fixed.

So playback is fine, but tags with .m4a are your only problem using the included music app? If so, this is good news indeed! I've got my finger on the trigger to one-click buy at amazon.com. Kind of hoping the price sneaks down another $30. I don't want to have to tell my friends I payed more for the 32gb D3 than a 32gb Touch costs.

Music playback is great and if I was willing to use rockbox everything would be good as rockbox displays the tags properly but unfortunatley I do not like the UI and would prefer to use the default music player or poweramp.

The only thing missing for me is the google market. I have been trying to load some apk's necessary for using the market and syncing with google but have failed thus far.

I believe it will be easier for us to load google framework and other google apk's when and if cowon upgrade to android 2.2.

Tag & Rename seems to work better for tag editing than dbPowerAmp. You might want to give that app a try. It's not free though
