I got the Sandisk 1GB because of the combination of price, fm tuner, and the amount of flash memory it has (didn't want a hard drive based model).

i've been looking at the iRiver H340...i know it's a little on the expensive side, but it's so nice and purdy....anybody hear anything bad about it? :huh:

The controls are a little unintuitive but you can get used to them. Other than that, it's a great player (I have an h320 which replaced my h120).

I own a 320, and the only complaint I have is that iRiver America has yet to release the firmware update that lets you play video. Apparently, the international version permanently breaks DRM if you load it onto a US player.

But I'm hoping that they'll release it soon :)

Oh, and when people say the player is confusing to use, I don't get it. 5 minutes into using it, and it becomes second nature.

The video playback is still rough, either way. It's only 10fps and only plays xvid files.

As for it being difficult, it's not. However, the knob control of the h1xx series was much more intuitive than the new button interface. You have to press the buttons twice, for instance, to skip to the next track once the screen turns off. That one extra press is annoying to someone like me.

Well, I didn't buy it to be a video player, but the fact that it can play video to some extent makes it spectacular.

I mean, for things like Family Guy and The Simpsons, I don't see 10fps being that much of an issue.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By Neonix1 · Posted

      Samsung messages is still alive and well. They reversed that and decided to our more effort into it.
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By richstad · Posted

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
