by Donald Bell

Donald and Jasmine discuss a new PVP from Cowon with an attractive price point.

Plus, Sonos inadvertently lowers the entry price point for its excellent in-home audio networking system--for those who already own iPhones or the iPod Touch. We interview Sonos co-founder Tom Cullen to get all the details.

Also this week: cute multimedia speakers, an overpriced in-car charger dock, and Jasmine's favorite music gadgets.

Just wanted to let you know that I heard show #121 and enjoyed it. I will keep checking your future shows, maybe I'll win one of those freebies. Also, do something on "not too expensive" noise-canceling headphones and anything new from Creative, thanks. JW Cape Cod, MA, USA
