Gapless playback X9, Z2

[deeterrocks101]

Hi so I've owned a Zune HD up to this point, and I'm now looking on the market for a new player. Cowon has been my first choice especially with the J3. but now the the J3 has been discontinued, and I can't seem to find the 32GB model anywhere, I'm looking into the X9 and the Z2.

I know that the Z2 did not have gapless playback when it came out but I'm wondering if they released any updates that fixed that problem, as well as the battery life problem.

The X9 is new, so its difficult to find a detailed review of all of its features, and I have been hearing problems of the outside hardware being very fragile. I also want to know if it has gapless playback.

If there are any owners of either device, please stand up, and let me know on these issues as soon as possible. Thanks!!

PS: If anyone has any news on the successor to the J3, please share that here as well.
