[Flac] flac portable players

[Larry Fenske]

I have a Cowon iAudio G3 and I really like it.  You would probably
be looking for one with a hard drive.  I haven't tried playing FLAC
files with my iAudio, but I play Ogg/Vorbis files all the time.  In my
opinion, based solely on the G3, they make good quality players (with
a few software bugs, that they fix), with a good overall feature set.
I like the G3 as a flash-based player because it uses a regular AA
battery, supports rechargeable batteries, supports Ogg/Vorbis and MP3,
the firmware is upgradeable, and it's small.
