I purchased the cradle for an X5L 30 GB iAudio by Cowan. Although I had checked the Cowan site for the cradle, nothing implied that the X5L would NOT fit in the X5 cradle. When the cradle arrived from Amazon, the iAudio would not fit. I wish I had known there was a different cradle. Unfortunately, no one seems to carry a cradle for X5L so if you want one, I guess you are out of luck.Amazon was great in taking the item back, paying the shipping cost. Amazon gets 5 stars.
