I thought I should inform you about new firmware update for H300 in Korea, since I believe those new features will be added to international model soon.

(Excuse my poor translation skill please! )

Source: http://service.iriver.co.kr/cs_view.asp?id...=1&SrchProduct=

3 New Features:

1. WAV playback

2. Clock feature

- You'll be able to see the clock right on the Now Playing screen.
- When recording, the recorded file will be organized according to that time.

3. Adjustable playback speed


5 Major Improvements

1. H300 can now recognize extra folders under TEXT folder.

2. When saving a file using host (browser), the date created will be the same as the original file's date created.

3. After you save a file using host (browser), delete it and restart the music player, "FREE Space Update" will still work properly.

4. Fixed bug where H300 can't recognize tags created with iRiver Plus Music ID feature.

5. Remote control will not turn on the actual music player's backlight from now on.


And several small bugs were also fixed.

Have fun with whatever music player you've got! (I'm an iPod user BTW)

wow, awesome news for the h3xx users. us h1xx users were already lucky enough to get ours a few months back

cool ill stick with the 1.20 as it looks like the battery issue from 1.25 has still not been dealt with.

thats awesome, but as my h340 is broken, and iRiver wont respond to any of my emails i cant test this thing

what??? how did it break bingham?? id look into the person who sold it you as that might have been the reason they got rid of it unless its summat to do with your PC or summat you did to it.

hope it gets fixed soon though mate.

well i got it from ebay, and it was brand new, hes sold at least 20 h340 along with other iRiver products, no complaints from buyers. One day my iRiver didnt turn on, about 30min later it did, worked great, it did this every so often, i thought it was a firmware bug. Then i went to turn it on a week ago today and the boot screen froze, i pressed the reset button. Ever since then it wont turn on. It could be a battery or HDD issue. I have sent 4 emails to iRiver, i have not had a reply.

the battery issue has already been fixed in ver. 1.27


seriouslly have you tried calling their 800 number? almost 90% of the time its either busy or i can't even connect.. i got through once, but after being put on hold for more than an hour my phone battery died.

i'm tring to get my cousins iriver replaced.. dumbass dropped his like 5 times and finally broke it.

if someone can get through for me i will love you. Here is my email i keep sending:

My iRiver H340 has had a problem where i am not able to turn on the unit. I have had this problem a few times, but after 30minutes it turns on. It is fully charged, and for the past 7days the unit is not turning on. I would like to send it off to iRiver, please could i have an RMA number to return it. I'm from England so i have the european model.

Model No. H340
Serial number: 132140041102848

Thanks

i tried the 1.27 firmware but still had battery problems

Time it to be sure, because the problem was fixed for everyone else <G>

well ill get this new firmware and try it

EDIT:

i updated.. and all those features listed are there.

nw to test the battery.

w00t! my iriver is working

I don't need any of those features =/

but, I'm glad to see they are still developing it

Really, all I wanted was true shuffle and OTF playlists.
I still think there's going to be a US update though.
Iriver is smart enough to make a firmware upgrade for a product that clearly says "Firmware Upgrade"

yes this firmware is good.

Theres speculation that better shuffle will be fixed next firmware...

I'm not that great in korean... but the "Answer" does mention better shuffle.
Crossing my fingers

EDIT: wrong link

well my iriver died again, sending it to america tomorrow

damn... thats kind of unfortunate...
can't live without mine

yer, i might need to borrow my dads iPod

Its unclear whether or not iRiver even has a way to do that and retain the DRM key, as the key is lost even when you flash to another US firmware.

for the tech support on iriver.. finally got through.

just call.. make sure you have speakerphone turned on because you will be on hold for about 2 - 3 hours.. when they pick up simply expalin your problem.

they will replace it for you.. they need the model number, name, address and tel number. after that they will give a case number and password, and a website link where you can check your order status.

they'll send you your new iriver, with a return label in the box, and ship back your broken unit.

so you mean that i will get my new one along with the broken one i sent back?

Bah, whats up with me and double posting today

No.. i looked again.

they give you the link and password like i already said. but you have to mail the unit to them first, then they send you a new one.

i don't know what you have include, but you send it back first..
