Improved Operating System Support From Cowon

Cowon have patched the firmware for several of their leading MP3 / PMP players to rectify problems encountered with some operating systems.

By updating the firmware to the latest version for the iAudio 10, X7 and X9 there should be no remaining issues with using your Cowon player with MacOS X, Linux and Windows 7 64-bit.

The firmware updates can be downloaded from Cowon’s webpage at:

www.cowonglobal.com

And the latest firmware versions that have been patched are:

Cowon iAudio 10 – v1.08

Cowon X7 – v2.09

Cowon X9 – v2.02

Full instructions are provided with the firmware updates to show how the updates are copied to the player and the steps involved with ensuring the update is successful.

The final step in the update is critical, after updating the firmware on the player you must now reformat the player’s memory.

With the iAudio 10 and X9, connect the player to your computer and format via Windows’ Windows Explorer or Disk Utility in MacOS. With the X7 you can format the internal flash memory by the same method, but you will then also have to format the hard disk drive via the settings on the player. (Settings -> System -> Information -> Format).

Two discontinued Cowon players have also had patched firmware released, namely the C2 and J3. Both of these updates are available on Cowon’s webpage too. (C2 – version 1.17, J3 version 2.29).
