No Perfect MP3 Player

bysimplemoney Sep 21, 2004
25 Helpfuls 26 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros FM Tuner, size, battery life
Cons Software, playlists, no stopwatch
Recommended it? Yes

Into exercising and want to listen to music while working out, well there are a number of flash players to choose from - this review looks at the IRiver 790. Not using it for exercising - then buy an IPod, there is no better player for non-physical activity listening.

Pros 40 hours on 1 AA, easy firmware updates (lots of improvements and changes so far)
Cons undersized jogging strap

[updated Feb. 28, 2005. see bottom of review]

The iFP-790 is THE flash player to get, if 256 megs is enough for you. I won't lie, I was only able to load 43 songs max onto my player the first time I used it. (too many 192bit mp3s). If you're planning on buying a small flash player, be... Read full review »

It was this or the Creative 256mb XT FM. I order the creative from Walmart at an unsually low price but as usual: back ordered with no clue of next shipment. Canceled it. Went to the neighborhood bestbuy got this instead. Still crying about the money spent on it! 149.99 with California tax at 8.25%... Read full review »

Well, after doing extensive research for several months, this gem... Read full review »

Great MP3 Player for Windows, but not Mac

byjjbaird Jan 30, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros clear sound, Radio reception good, long battery life
Cons not suitable for a Mac, case doesn't fit right, USB door is flimsy
Recommended it? Yes

This is my first mp3 player and I did a lot of research before buying. I'm impressed with the features. It has a lot and the FM radio tuner is a nice bonus. I don't live near any large towns and was expecting fuzzy radio reception but the channels come in clear. The player itself requires a bit of... Read full review »

Pros Size and sound
Cons Wrist strap
Recommended it? Yes

After finally getting rid of my ipod (became to bulky) I was in search of a small lightweight MP3 player that I could toss in my shirt pocket and forget about it at the gym.

After some searching and research (the ipod mini, dell's MP3 player, zen MP3 player) I chose the iriver due to it's... Read full review »

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice size for all that it can do.
Cons Needs better headphones.
Recommended it? Yes

Just bought this MP3 player to replace my RCA Lyra 128 that was a good little unit. I needed something small to use when I jog with an FM tuner. The iRiver is really nice, has more capabilities than I'll ever even use! You can actually record a song directly from the FM tuner if you like and it has... Read full review »

Cons Difficult to remember all the features and how to get to them.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had my iRiver iFP-790 for 2 years now. I use it no less than 2 or 3 times a week and almost exclusively for exercising. Keep that in mind while reading this review.

The good:
