Price Guide
We've updated the organization of the price guide to make it a bit easier to read and added a way to double-check low prices on audio players. Off to the right of each entry is a link to Google's Froogle price comparison engine. Clicking on any of the Froogle links will show you current prices for that model.

Hi Lindsey - I don't know if the link has changed, but the link you have to the long battery Cowon actually leads to the regular version (plus it is out of stock). It's too bad, I would have bought it at that price!
Posted by: Simran at November 23, 2004 11:51 PMThanks for catching that! The M3L is kind of an odd bird. I'll try to fix it for the next guide. But if I can't find competitive sources for the M3L, I may have to remove it.
Posted by: Lindsey Smith at November 24, 2004 09:44 AMYou are showing LetsGoDigital as the low price for the Rio Carbon on 12/6/04. I have to say that LetsGoDigital is perhaps the worst retailer on the web. Anyone considering buying from them should check out their rating at resellerratings.com: http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1909.html .
Posted by: Robert at December 6, 2004 07:17 AMThanks for letting us know. There are are some shady vendors touting the lowest prices and while we want people to get the best deal, we do try to keep an eye on reseller ratings.
