This thing sucks
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 27, 2004If your looking for a good product, you are at the right site, BUT NOT THE RIGHT PRODUCT. The instructions are hi tech chinese, it will barely play mp3 cds, and the quality, even with normal cds, is terrible, the headphones are the worst peace of crap i have ever seen, the cable is to short, they have a statick in the background and the base is very low. I am very dissapointed with the product.

Pretty Yet.....
(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 7, 2003I want to keep this review as simple as possible. Besides all the pretty features as stated above says, there are a few things that may keep you away from this product:
1. Takes to long to load music cd's.
2. Annoying mechanical noise.
3. Very short (30 mins) battery life.
4. Poor design. It would break easily.
I recommend one looking for a cd player, look at the Sony Walkman products.

The IMP-50 isn't quiet so nifty
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 17, 2003 (Apple Valley, Ca. United States)To say I'm disappointed and quiet dismayed is an understatement. I was hoping for good things with the "iRiver IMP 50," but this isn't the case now.
It wouldn't initialize when I turned it on. The player read neither regular audio cds or mp3s. It did, however, make a disturbing knocking sound when it tried to read new media and powered off when it couldn't."iRiver" is suppose to be top of the line w/ it's players, but this particular model leaves a lot to be desired. I dunno, maybe I got a lemon. For 10 dollars more, I may consider the "IMP 150" and hope I have better luck w/ that. The reviews on it would seem to concur.

You get what you pay for!
(1 out of 5) by A. Marcotte on Mar 26, 2004 (San Rafael, CA United States)I've had this player for about a week now and I must say... you get what you pay for! I would have given it no stars if I had that option! Sound quality is not very good! This player would be pretty good if it was free like something you get out of a box of cereal. Don't waste your money on this player! Get something a little bit more expensive! Needless to say I'm very disappointed in this purchase. I ALMOST FORGOT...IRIVER DO NOT HONOR THEIR REBATES!
