Awesome.......2005-08-06

I did a lot of research on MP3 players before I bought this one. until i started my research i never even heard of iRiver. even after all of the good reviews this mp3 player had received i was still a little hesitant. well i'm glad i got it. it plays great, it sounds great, it has a lot of built in features and the battery lasts A LONG time. i've actually only had to charge it twice since i got it because it charges as you upload songs to it. great concept by iRiver! i use it when i do my cardio and i use it in conjunction with the Belkin tape adapter so i can listen to it in my car for long road trips. i can fit around 20 albums on this thing. it's very easy to use and very easy to set up. no problems with it so far and i've been using it for almost 2 months now.

the ONLY bad thing is the arm band is WAY too small. it doesn't even come close to going around my arm. either buy another one if you need it or use it as a wrist band.

i recommend this mp3 player altho i'm sure it's discontinued but any other upgrade from this mp3 player has got to be worth the price.

The Hyundai of music..........2005-08-02

Economical, compact, does the job. Holds about 240 songs. sound is good blah blah blah. It's a bit clumsy to program and use, and I feel there are too many features for alphabetizing the play list to not be one of them. The protective case and the arm band are great if you're a Backstreet Boy in '97.

Here's what I would've like to have known (don't know if these are common to all players or not):
1.) you cannot tranfer songs from the iriver to anything (so that dream of merging your home and work musical experiences will still rely on more conventional methods.
2.) you'd better import your playlist pre-alphabetized (this is difficult when sorting through the plethora and determining which songs are worth the precious real estate in your iriver)
3.) if you're electronically inclined you will not need to carry around the users manual with you.
4.) this player may do all the things I'm complaining about and I'm just lacking the tenacity to get through the users manual.

Maybe my expectations were a bit high for the price. I have to say it's a good buy for noise though I'm not sure I would do it again, I think I'd probably spring for a higher priced, better known brand with more memory...240 songs get tired real fast. If you're going to drive a Hyundai drive a Hyundai, not a Hyundai that's ripped off from a Jaguar.

Great player! .......2004-10-13
