Almost three years and still working - BEST AUDIO of all.......2007-06-06

No doubt in my mind that this unit has THE best sounding audio and lots of eq features. If you like the sound of crappy mp3s then so be it, you don't need a player as good as this, but if you want to hear wav files the way they sound on a CD, powered by a great sounding amp and EQ, this is it. All you need are some good noise cancelling phones like the great Sennheiser open type, and you're good to go, coast to coast.

Waiting for my batt to die - not yet, at least! If it does I will just get another put in. It's really no big deal.

The interface is excellent and can be used blind once you learn the simple, simple, simple intuitive navigation system. Buttons neve scratch or dent even with my digg nails.

Did I say this player has the BEST sound quality? Yes I think it does. TrueBass algorithm if u want it too!

The radio works, the iRiver makes an excellent full-fi field recorder with an external mic, plus u can store all of your files, your pictures, powerpoints, and get it quick with USB. I have 30 Gb in there and it boots up in about 25 seconds, so it is a bit of a wait, but not bad.

RIP 340. It was a great year!.......2007-01-07

I bought my 340 roughly one year ago. I set that baby up with Rockbox and I was in heaven! I raved to everyone I could about how great it was: great sound, fm transmitter, playlists on the fly, games, creating/recording my own mp3s, 40GB for a decent price. Sadly, my 340 died a couple of weeks ago. Yes, after just 1 year. Unfortunately, I had to sell its remains in order to finance a replacement. I loved this mp3 player so much I'm actually considering buying another one rather than joining the evil iPod empire. So, I give the 340 3 stars because it's great while it lasts but it doesn't last very long. Just to drive the point home, I also had an h140 that died after roughly 2 years of ownership.

Very poor service on short battery life issues.......2006-12-25

The battery crapped out in less than two years and iRiver offered to give me $75 credit in their online store by way of service. This is for a $350 player that can't be used without it's power cord in less than two years. I don't mind paying them to change the battery, but they don't offer that option. The player is ok, but I wouldn't invest this kind of money again for such a short-lived product. I have ordered a battery online and am going to try to change it myself. There are videos on YouTube that show you how to do it. I don't consider myself adept at working on devices and would rather hire someone to do it, but iRiver ain't helping me.

WONDERFUL little player.......2006-11-29

Love it, love it, love it.

First to address a couple of whiners I just read, yes, Lithium-ion batteries go bad after about a year. The iRiver is no exception to that...nor is Apple's ipod, or Dell's laptops, or any other Li-ion battery. But, given the eventuality of the iRiver's battery dying, it's totally unreasonable to say it is now worthless. I bought a new ipod battery on eBay for about $15 that had 50% more capacity. Thing will play music for 20 hours now.

Some posters have mentioned that this iRiver sounds better than most ipods...indeed, it's true. Probably due to the Philips UDA1380 chip; definitely a nice audio coder-decoder chip. An added feature, and one that steered me towards the iRiver (and will certainly have to be present on my next player) is the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files. I have no use for DRM and I prefer the tonal qualities of Ogg files over patent-encumbered and proprietary MP3 files. It's a pity that iRiver is now in bed with Microsoft; I'm sure we've seen the last of Ogg compatibility from them as a result. No matter; Iaudio (Cowon), Samsung, and others still support it and have not prostrated themselves over the MS feed-trough.

One other thing I should mention is that the iRiver presents itself as a UMS (USB Mass Storage) device; this means that any modern computer should see it as another hard drive and no silly drivers need to be downloaded. It also means that it works flawlessly with Linux. :-)

Anyway, a fun player, capable of customizing ([...] and playing videos. Reliable Toshiba hard drive. Couple this player with a pair of Grados and you'll be in heaven.

Don't waste your money. What iRiver doesn't tell their customers is that once the battery goes dead, the system is useless. I will never buy one of their products again and I'm doing my best to inform everyone out there that they'll be tossing their money in the trash by purchasing any iRiver products. My system cost me $340.00 and it is now as useless as the customer service department at iRiver
