PC World have published their review of the Cowon A3 portable video player. 'The A3 supports about as many file types as we've seen for a portable device. On the audio end, that includes MP3, WMA, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, OGG FLAC, Apple Lossless, and AAC/AAC+, but the device won't work with DRM-protected songs from online music stores such as iTunes or Napster. You may not want to put a lot of music files on the A3, anyway, because it doesn't support ID3 tag sorting. Instead, the A3 uses a file-tree system that you must manually organize on your PC through Windows Explorer or a similar file management program before syncing to the device. With its built-in microphone, the A3 also supports lossless FLAC as well as WMA audio recording.'
