The iriver meets all of your requirements...but the one thing it does lack is style, if you can live with that then go for it. Oh, and firmware updates are non existant, but the things you need won't be affected by that. With that said, I like my iriver very much, BUT for the design...IMO...

I just put them straight in and give them a slight turn to get the wire into the right position.

I like mine, they fit well and are comfortable for long periods of listening. Smooth sound, but could use a tiny bit more clarity on the high end.

Bass: 10 Treb: 6 Sharp MD33s

What mod did you do digdub? The foam in the canal one? I have the MD33s and I really like them, I think they could use a tiny bit cleaner high end, but they are still really nice. The fit is amazingly comfortable. The only bad things about it are the 4 pole plug requiring the adapter cable...

It is ok, only the more powerful stations will be picked up. I don't live in a heavy populated area so your results may vary.

I'm happy with my iriver *shrugs* - it is probably because I prefer everything to be in filetree mode though. It does what I bought it to do, play mp3s (and listen to the radio, on occasion). Anyways to answer your original question, yes you can brose with id3 tags (artist, album, etc)

It is 3 ft.

I have no idea about the 4 to 3 pole converter, I would like one myself. Preferably, it would be something like 3 inches. Anyways, I have a Sharp MD unit with 4 pole output, and I don't really notice a difference between 4 and 3 pole use.

could anyone post some pictures of this mod so I can get an idea of what it is supposed to look like?

about 50$ shipped for me.

At first glance, the title made it seem like the phones really sucked, glad that's not the case . Mine should be coming in next week, I'll post my impressions then.

post about it here: http://www.iriver.com/community/disc...name=&p_group= It looks like your id3v2 tags have to be in order though.

came out about to 50 for me shipped - 9 $ shipping
