Good product

Mar 13, 2007 - By Jason M. Smith (Jacksonville, FL)

Good MP3 player for working out/jogging and the recording ability is a bonus. Recording quality is ok. The controls are not very intuitive however and you have to really become familiar with them in order to be able to use all of the features. Not something you can just pick up and use without reading the instruction manual! If you aren't technologically inclined you might want to keep looking for something with simpler controls, but if you actually know how to set the clock on your VCR (does anyone still have VCRs?!) then you should be ok with this product.

Excellent choice for the money

Apr 14, 2007 - By Kissed by the Sun

I've had my iriver now for almost 1 year and I really love it. It's much eaiser to download music onto and you're not limited to just downloading through the maker (i.e. IPOD). I've downloaded a great deal of my favorite cd's with suprising ease. The AA battery lasts a very long time. I also love using it in my new convertable, just plug it in with the attachment that's included and go. I purchased an IPOD for my husband this past Christmas (because he wanted what everyone else had, smile) and he was not impressed with it at all, as a matter of fact, he listened to my iriver (which I paid a great deal less for) once and wanted one for himself. The overall sound is better and you get a "bass" sound that's out of this world. We both found my iriver much eaiser to use than the IPOD and I just purchased my husband this iriver as a gift. Anyone looking to buy an IPOD for cheap (smile). Seriously, check this one out, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Happy shopping!!

Excellent mp3-player for people that don't need much space

May 12, 2007 - By Christian Franke (Ripon, WI, USA)

The best thing about that mp3-player is, that you can switch the input from mic to line --> that is just awesome (same with all ifp-palyer I think).
It's easy to use. The only bad thing is that you can't download/upload songs from the Windows Explorer but you have to install the iRiver Music Manager. The player also doesn't record the files as mp3's - you have to convert them when you download them with the music manager.

bargain priced deal makes a customer happy

Jun 10, 2007 - By Alexander E. Cuellar (Carson City, NV USA)

the iriver mp3 w/ 256 MB may seem out-dated but it is very easy to use and compatible for your everyday music. most mp3's are way too small and fragile and some are big. the iriver is durable through and through and snuggles easily to your pockets or carry on. also great for the airplane rides, everytime i go to the airport i do not get it confiscated. i own 2 of these because i like to use one for road and the other for home use and jogging. GREAT PRODUCT, iRiver seems to be underrated for their sleek MP3's.

Excellent if you don't need a bunch of music for exercising and running

Dec 3, 2007 - By Tweenie (NYC)

I must be honest I got this one because I thought it was cute. I didn't really care about the music space, but I really like to switch up. If you don't need a lot of space this is perfect. It plays real loud too and its nice and small. As I just said if you are okay with having a little bit of music for jogging, going to the gym and you just need a few songs then this is perfect.
