iRiver iFP-195T (512 MB) MP3 Player

Pros: Memory size, easily operated, excellent sound quality
Cons: Old USB port (1.1 VS 2.0), pricey

Kids eat batteries, especially AA and AAA batteries. Never mind trying to get them to use rechargeables (they’re dead, I need juice now). I have enough trouble trying to understand teenage fashions and social issues. Since my constant complaints ...

Pros: -really good sound quality; very crisp and clear -very strong FM reception
Cons: poor documentation; issues with Windows XP; horrific tech support; cheap building materials

I am putting my UPDATE UP FRONT. THE ORIGINAL FULL REVIEW IS JUST BELOW:

Update (one month later):

Sound - Still very good, BUT I have noticed a sort of electronic beep/skip now occurs between some songs. I am not sure if this is...

Pros: AWESOME item can't go wrong
Cons: none!

What can I say about this item? Half gig of storage, built in mic for voice recording, line jack for direct MP3 coding plus a FM tuner and you can record what is playing on the tuner. All this for 299.99. Now for some history. I was looking for ...

Pros: Carries a big pop for a little package
Cons: Earpieces are annoying

Ok here goes...

I feel obligated to write this because it was the reviews of the smaller (126Meg) player that helped me to buy this one.

I was looking for something to listen to when I worked out after my CD player fell off the...

Pros: -Excellent sound quality, one AA battery lasts about 20 hours, small, has FM radio
Cons: -Hard to transfer songs from PC to player, breaks easily, hard to navigate

I spent $50.00 on this because I had a rebate. It was worth the money, but barely. It was hard to navigate at first, with the length of the button-push being more important than the actual button. Additionally, I had a very hard time transferring songs from my computer, equipped with Windows XP, to the player. Once I figured everything out, all was well... for a few months. The sound quality was excellent, even the FM radio! It also had a voice and FM radio recorder. Best of all, one AA battery lasted about 20 hours. After I had owned the player for about 2 months, it broke. It just wouldn't turn on! Luckily, I still had the receipt, and it came with a warranty. I sent it in, and I received a brand new one... more than a month later.
Overall, this is a decent mp3 player if you just need something small (it holds about 30 songs) and don't want to spend a ton of cash. Just remember to hold on to your receipt!
