If you're looking for an mp3 player than can take hard hits, this is the one for you. iPods are fragile things. You drop it and there goes your hard earn cash. I've had my iRiver for about 4 years now. It's been with me through my softball training practices, running, tourneys, the gym, and around the campus. I have dropped it on more than one occassion, but it was in its case so it was completely fine. It has also been through the washing machine AND the dryer at high heat for the whole duration!! And yes, it still works perfectly!;

I have had this mp3 player since March 2004 ($330), and was the best purchase I have ever made.
I recognize that the firmware sucks, however, there was a firmware upgrade offered a year and a half ago or so, and with it, has significantly improved the product.
I have not had any problems with it. The click-and-drag format is easy and makes for a very organized system. The battery life per charge is amazing, 16 hours. Over the course that I've had it, it has only decreased to 12 hours or so. So even nearly 3 years later, the non-replaceable re-chargeable battery is still performing at near-top notch.
It has excellent recording (internal or external mic--included), AM/FM radio (another reviewer on 12/8/2004 said it didn't have AM capability but it does), navigation (very intuitive to pc users), "remote control"....I could go on and on. It is bulky compared to today's standards (3 years ago, this was considered "small"), but is well worth it. It also has a sleep timer, so if you're listening to it as you fall asleep, you can make it turn off by itself after 30 min or 60 min, whatever you specify.
It also originally comes with the case, external mic, earphones, remote control, and USB connection. Which is more than you can say for ipods.
I am aware that others have had problems with the harddrive and other problems, but I have not experienced any of these. I have used this extensively during 6-hrs a day studying over the past 3 years, so I can attest to its dependability towards long-term use. Addressing an ealier comment left by a reviewer (on 7/28/06), it most CERTAINLY DOES play other formats than mp3, INCLUDING wav and wma.
Cons:
-You can't make playlists or delete files on the go. But with 20 gigs, who needs to delete files?
-the earphones it comes with are painful. i bought a sony pair for $7.
-It is too bad iriver does not make this product anymore, it is far better than what they offer now.
If you can find this product, I highly recommend it. Apparently others have had problems with it, so I guess the quality between units differs. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them lizz2424 @ yahoo . com (remove spaces)!;

I've had my iRiver since early 2005 and have not a problem. The battery holds the charge a long time (I play my player on the way to work and at my desk for a total of over 9 hours and I still have power left to carry me thru for most of the next day (just remember when you turn it off to move the button to the hold position, this will keep the battery charged longer)). I love the radio and all the other features especially the remote control. It comes in handy when your on a long flight with not much space. ;
