its hip to get the iPod. most people dont know much about any other player. I've never seen anyone with any other HD-MP3 player other than an iPod (due to heavy advertisement and slick looks) or an Archos (most likely because they used to be the first ones to come out with the newest stuff)...

ok, no one responded before but i still think its cool so: http://www.redchairsoftware.com/irivium/beta.php first beta released. currently you can only transfer one track at a time beause they're testing the ability to transfer first. still lets you look around at the cool features.

I posted this in the thread about song ratings but no one saw it so i felt it deserved its own thread. Quote: just saw this sneak preview they recently added to the Red Chair site. http://www.redchairsoftware.com/irivium/ Some VERY cool features. (if you've used their software...

Quote: Originally posted by Sweet Spot If you're talking about the IHP official firmware, the announcement was made a bit before the beginning of last week ! Not to mention that it's been talked about here (head-fi) as well: The actual post was done BY the Iriver team. (hence the blue...

Quote: Originally posted by Sweet Spot The Rio Karma utilizes the same rating system, which is enabled by using the packaged software I believe. And with J.RIvers Media Center 10, playlists can be made in a similar fashion. Not to mention the up and comming Red Chair software for the IHP...

i usually put "the" afterwards, so "Beatles, The". actually, thats just for my folder structure, for the actuall file name and tags i leave it as "The Beatles"

i bet they could last a good 5 or 6 years for you. the HD might fail somewhere in that period, but im sure it could last after a simple formatting. the question is, do you WANT it after that long. by that time there will be 10 times cooler stuff thats smaller and has more features and longer...

ah well, dont use it.

Quote: Originally posted by austonia sort of. Even if you name them as you have "##-Name" it only allows for 11 other characters to be seen. Better, but still too narrow a view for me. If they would removing the useless "File" icon would allow for another 3 characters. I have my...

pfft. i dont get why anyone would support this... any consumer i mean. why would you want one company to have the rights to anything. i had an ipod and an archos recorder and an archos multimedia. now i have an ihp. i hope someone kicks iriver's ass next year so the technology can move on and...

well now that thats out of the way, lets see some firmware upgrades!

i'd say 4/5 just because there is room for improvement. i wish the joystick left\right would function like a page up or page down on your computer. so when you hit left or right it would skip an entire "page" or screen of files or folders. then the play and stop buttons would be left alone to...
