The iAudio G3-1024SW 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Radio and Voice Recorder takes MP3-quality to new heights with its proprietary MP3 chipset and industry-first MP3 file filtering and sound enhancement technology. With the iAudio G3 you can enjoy up to 50 hours of continuous playback on a single AA battery along with both an FM stereo radio with clock feature and a voice recorder with microphone.

The iAudio G3 puts an end to endless waits for music downloads by offering USB 2.0 download speeds of up to 20 Mbps, and upload speeds of up to 25 Mbps. The player's five direction key gives you one-handed control of most common iAudio G3 functions, while the bright, 4-line graphic LCD screen supports lyric displays and makes it easy to see file information at a glance. Its FM radio can pre-set your favorite stations, and the full-function voice recorder lets you record music from the radio, important meetings, lectures, or personal memos. The iAudio G3's JetShell software enables the creation and editing of playlists directly on the player, as well as CD ripping and file transfers. You can save non-music files to the iAudio G3 and say goodbye to clumsy floppy disks and data CDs.

The iAudio G3 is compatible with both Linux and the Mac OS, and comes with superb Cresyn headphones, giving you superior sound reproduction with a balanced tone. It supports MP3, WMA, ASF, WAV (including 48 KHZ Stereo), and OGG file formats. You can directly encode old records and tapes into digital audio on the iAudio G3, and if you need a wake-up call, just use the clock's alarm function. The ultra-slim design of the iAudio G3 features a basic white color offset by a silver stripe outlining the LCD display. It comes with a fashionable carrying case and convenient neck strap for easy portability.

Customer Reviews:

great little portable MP3.......2007-04-25

There's not much I can say that is critical. My needs are simple and ease-of-use is key. This iAudio meets both. It is sleek, cool looking, offers great sound and enough storage for my purposes. Music files are easy to transfer/download and the fuctionality is great. The sound it produces is more than satisfactory. I highly recommend. Good value for the money.

very good sound and battery life.......2007-01-11

I thought this player would be like many others in the market and I found i was wrong. I bought an iAudio with 2Gb of flash memory and this player has all i need: voice recorder, line-in recorder with live-mp3 encoding with lots of bitrates 8 kb/s, 16, 32 kb/s WAV and 64, 96 and 128 kb/s for mp3 format. Also you can start listening to music before going to bed and set the time for auto-shut down. Also it can be set up for waking up mode and it start playing at the time you specify. I found the transparent plastic case pretty good but unfortunatelly this kind of player does not come with arm-band. The necklace is pretty good and useful. The sound quality is perfect and has a lot of functions to improve the listening. Very good audio-output and the quality of the earphones. Highly recomended for those who want to carry with your files and music all-in-one. Batery life is pretty good. Perhaps the volume keys should be placed on player's side instead of using the joystick-key. Hold key very accesible and easy to reach and difficult to accidentally turn on/off.

Great player, good price.......2007-01-07

I've had this player for 3 months, and it has served me well so far. I won't waste your time telling about its positive features - everything you read in the ad about sound QA, battery life etc. appears to be true.

I actually haven't used the unit for much more than playing music when on the move - and for that the iAudio is perfect. The more advanced options (voice or radio recording, music alarm +++) - may actually prove useful some day, who knows.

On the negative side: The radio is not too good. You're only able to play radio stations with a quite strong/clear signal. In my opinion, this is common for most radios that use the headphone cord as antenna. Within that restriction, the radio works OK: Let the unit scan for signals, and it will only find the stations with strongest signals - and you can listen to those with acceptable result. But if your favourite station does not have a particulary strong signal, listening to it will be a pain.

And of course: Get a good set of headphones (or better plugs?) with the player! I hate plugs, so I can't really jugde those that come with the player, but they probably aren't the best around.

Great, Super-Portable Player.......2006-12-25

This was my first MP3 player. My main criteria was that it have no moving parts (i.e. hard drives), be at least 1 GB, and have bookmarking capability. The iAudio G3 most definitely met and exceeded those criteria.

Being a podcast listener, I love the fact that the G3 has bookmarking so I can stop listening to something in the middle of it and find my place again with no trouble at all. It also can auto-resume when you turn it off in the middle of something.

The interface is easy to navigate and the joystick control is solid.

Additionally, when I inadvertently broke the play/power button on the player, Cowon was very helpful in getting it fixed and back to me within a couple of weeks.

This was a great buy when I bought it, though it was only $150 then. I would still buy it at this price ($180 at the time of this writing). If and when this awesome player breaks down or I lose it, I will probably buy it again. If it is out of production at that point, I would certainly buy another iAudio Flash Player.

Decent music player.......2006-12-22

This was my first mp3 player. It performed all right. It was easy to load up with songs and played for a reasonable period of time. I didn't think the sound was all that great but it wasn't bad either. Navigation through songs was a bit difficult though. I purchased it for much less than what it is selling for today at about 100 dollars on amazon ... don't know why it has almost doubled in price.
