Out of NO WHERE, one of my songs produced a glitchy, screechy noise, and after I paused it, the play button acted as a backwards button. Turned it off and on, it reset itself, asked what language to put it in, and the library was gone. Turned it off and on again, and it's back to normal. WTF?

The headphones jack issue still annoys me, the right channel cuts out a lot.

This is the second time you post to complain about the issues with your i7, since you stated in another thread that it’s only 3 months old, why not do something about it and RMA it again. I feel bad for your misfortune, but it’s rare that I’ve read a post regarding the i7 with so many issues, I’ve had mine for over 2 years and it’s never given me a problem. Once they replace it, don’t open it and sell it, obviously it’s not for you.

In the review it states that you can drag & drop files. Can you have just one folder where you put your files in?. I want to be able to have one folder sorted by titles but the titles are arranged by Artist
e.g if i have two tracks titled 'Love' but by different artists they would not be together but sorted by Artist they are from.

Yes, you can have one or hundreds of folders and it is MSC or MTP, so you can drag & drop ...

Is the i7 discontinued? I hope not. The i9 is not a good replacement for the i7. Few places have the i7 in stock now, but that might just be because they are temporarily sold out and might get more in a month or two?

If it hasn't been, one would think that they will soon discontinue it.

Not necessarily. The i9 is so different than the i7. Cowon could decide to keep making both. it wouldn't surprise me if they stop making the i7, then later resume making it due to great demand. That might be especially true if the i9 doesn't sell well. The i9 looks like me too player(too similar to the ipod Nano and Sansa fuze).
Didn't Cowon learn anything from the failure of the U5? The i9 is much too expensive to compete against the Fuze, and doesn't even have a card slot.
