Yeah. I saw the link to the site and yeah not a bad price! If I did buy this player I probably hold on to my other one since it supports Audible. I've been wanting to get a subscription for about a year now. But for podcasts and such I'd have more room with the Coby. Thanks sir. Lino Morales Remember, friends don't let friends go to hell.
