bESIDES GETTING A NEW PLAYER. 

MP3 SONGS QUALITY IS ALL IN THE BIT RATE , so get a new player and try to pay attention to your quailty of mp3s.   320 bit rate , 156, 128 and lower.  Try to have music mp3 with 320 bitrate and it sound good!

lots of dj that spin with serato know the higher bit rate better quality of sound !!! Hope this helps!!!

I'm ready to jump the apple ship too in favor of a better sounding unit. As long as it integrates well with my player on the pc, I'm cool

Are Cowon's Mac friendly? Thinking about getting an S9 but I've heard people having problems with connecting to Snow Leopard.

It's not just about the quality of the audio file. The parts used in the mp3 player will have an affect on quality of the sound being output through an analog line. Cowon's are known for their build quality and thus the sound and visuals that go along.


iPods have been known to use cheap headphone jacks and underpowered amplifiers that will affect the overall sound being replicated. Finding the best quality sound is a mix between good source files, proper hardware, and good headphones/speakers. Skimping on any one of these will lead to a lesser experience.
