Ipod Killer

incorrect. i need to use a high quality digital recorder, therefore i take the iRiver because it has everything i'll ever need (except for PDA & mobile) in one!

well thats why i said 'most' :) ...

DJs who want to record their sets, people who want to encode their vinyl or cassette collections to MP3, or musicians who are looking for a replacement for their DAT recorder need this feature.
^^not many ppl are djs, or msuicians, ...and for vinyl/cassette collections...why would you use an mp3 player for that? :huh: just connect it to the pc and rip the audio
how can you say it's not "right" after reading that ?

what i mean about not right was that the majority of the people dont really 'need' all the features that the iriver has. dont get me wrong now..i think the iriver is a great product. :) maybe it was the way i stated it..sry. :rolleyes:

[this is all based on my iRiver iFP 390]

all iRiver products require you to install the iRiver manager in order to download/upload files. thus, it is a hassle to use this as a method of transporting files (granted, you can take along the installation CD and install it on other computers - but i'm sure your college/uni/school or workplace won't allow you) as you need to install the program first. unlike the iPod and Zen, you cannot use this as by simply drag + drop via Explorer.

iRiver products do not allow you to upload audio files, as it is a "breach of copyright laws". i'm not sure if the iPod allows this or not.

Dazzla, the site you went to and said it had a silver case instead of black - i've noticed their colours in their photos are much lighter than if seen in real life.

that grey colour on the unit should be the same colour as the headphones.

no Jason, you can use the iRiver as a removable drive if you install the UMS firmware which you can obtain from their site. and about the protection thingy, you can just rename the mp3 to .rec(?) (i don't remember as i've sold my iRiver 390T) and you can upload your mp3 anywhere easily.

heh, sorry, i just saw that on the iRiver site. it looks like their FAQ is verry outdated.

The Player does not "act" as an external drive on a PC as the software application is needed to transfer / upload files to and from a PC. We plan to offer this ability (external drive) within the near future. Please stay tuned!

but i just saw the firmware :). i stand corrected, please disregard my whole post up there :whistle:
