VERY IMPORTANT TO LEAVE THE POWER CHORD IN WHEN TRANSFERRING!

If you lose power when there is HDD activity, or if you terminate the connection with your PC in anyway you could well fry your directory structure = bye bye music.

Don't forget, fully depleting any Li-Ion/Li-Poly battery is harmful to it, so make sure you charge regularly.

Are you sure about the battery thing? Cuz I'm hearing different stories from every angle. I charge it usually at half way.

[Endoscient]

they have Li-Poly (at least the H320) so the only really bad thing for it is to deplate the battery.

[BroChaos Veteran]

but they don't have memory, so what does it matter?

Its true.

They don't have memories, so recharge them more often. Full depletion is harmful. Shallow charges are best.

i don't know if its already messed up, but you know how you press the "NAV" button and its supposed to let you choose the way you want to search for music?

"file" "artist" "genre" and something else.. well thats gone now. it takes me straight to the album folders.

but all my music is there.

[Endoscient]

think you need to turn on DB Scan.

[kombolcha]

i did.. you only do it once right?

turn it on through the menu and power cycle?

[Zeni]

Better late than never, but as my sig says, I own an iHP-120, sitting snugly in its Ebony iSkin.

Got it 1 year ago and haven't had a single problem with it, never had to reset, no scratches, no errors, just plenty of hours of tunes. :D

[Timmah Veteran]

Did you update firmware?

That's factory reset, ultimately.

Try turning it on again. Personally I prefer filetree on my iHP-140, quicker startup and no need to tag my files religiously!

[sjiggag23]

wow, i didnt know they had iskins for iriver. i love my ihp120. i think i'll check those out.

[AJerman]

NONE! So all of you can kiss my @$$ :D

Whats wrong with the new firmware?

[sjiggag23]

i thought that was the latest version. the firmware from mistic river is the one that changes all the icons and visuals and things.

[Xtreme $niper]

Ehhh

http://iriveramerica.com/support/H100.aspx

1.6 is the latest.

[sjiggag23]

no, i'm not lookin for the firmware from iriver. i already have that. i'm lookin for the firmware from mistic river

[Timmah Veteran]

MisticRiver don't MAKE firmware :/

www.rockbox.org are developing some, but it won't be ready till about February (speculation)

[kombolcha]

eh.. i did the DB Scan thing twice and it still goes to the file free.

edit.. read the manual.. i think i have to run that DB thing that i installed from the cd.

don't bother. a big difference between the ipod and iriver, is that the ipod is never actually off. the iriver completely turns off. therefore, the ipod only has a 30-60sec boot time when it's turned on from being completely off (which is rare). however, the iriver needs to load that db (30-60sec) every time you turn it on.

Yes you need to load your songs onto the player, right click on the drive visible in My Computer and click on "Update DB" to make DB scan work.

Depends on how many songs you have on your player. I have about 400 and it takes a 5 second boot time.

[kombolcha]

and i have over a thousand and that takes about 10 seconds..

and ya, i got my menu back..

iRiver iPods are nice.
