| lorywiviott's Full Review: iRiver iMP-550 SlimX Personal CD Player |
I was thrilled with the terrific aesthetics and slick remote of the Iriver 550, but unfortunately my 1st unit would give "no disk errors" much of the time with disks my prior RioVolt read fine. and when it did read the discs was very prone to skips and unexpected stops. I upgraded firmware and even got a 2nd unit from IRiver ... NO BETTER.
Until they increase the compatability and reliability with CDR's burned with MP3's I would forego this player, despite the great feature set. These do me no good if it won't play my lovingly created disks!
