Query: Five stars until it DIED.

This was my first flash-based MP3 player, which I bought specifically for listening to while running. I carried the player in its manufacturer-supplied "holster" zip-tied to a reflective waist belt, often in a zip-loc bag. After about 15 months of use, 2-4 times each week for 30-40 minutes each time, it simply died. Blank LCD screen. Reset button does nothing. My PC doesn't even detect it anymore. Now, with the U2 conveniently (for COWON) out of warranty, I'm forced to shop for another player. My impression of this device based on the manufacturer's website and reviews of similar players is that they are designed to be disposable. I don't see myself ever spending over $50.00 for another MP3 player. If *you* do, the 2 year replacement plan would be of benefit.
