It's something I've only just come up against and for the life of me I can't work out how to delete the recordings I've made. Anyone have any ideas?

Well if it works as an external hard drive, you should be able to just plug it in and go fetch the file and press delete

.

I meant while you're recording.

Back when I researched these things I think I remember that there is no way to delete anything from the iHP itself. You have to go to a computer to delete.

Not too much of a limitation unless you are recording, but I found that their recording options were pretty limited anyway.

Cheers.

yup. can't delete nuthin from the iHP itself. pretty lame, considering all its other features. wasn't this thing supposed to be advanced?

Players you CAN delete tracks from:
Dell DJ
Gateway DMP-X20
All Creative Nomads
All Archos models

probably others.. can't remember

WHAAAAAAT

How're you feeling about the iHP these days austonia?

This is all too hilarious! Big Deal!!! I consider it a safety feature. Who really cares, and what is the big effect of not being able to delete unless your connected?!

It is all too simple to make such a fuss about. You connect up your USB, go to the HDD, and delete what you do not want.

Being able to clear recordings you got wrong / don't need is a big deal. Especially if you've got an iHP loaded with a certain amount of music to begin with. I'm really surprised they don't offer that facility. Never mind anyway.

I know where you're coming from. But; the only option to delete them is to connect back to the USB/PC.

I guess all the players have their own issues. A person just needs to decide which issues of a given player would affect he (or she) most (or least).

In other words: "shut up if you have different concerns and priorities than I do".

Actually, not being able to delete when you are recording can be a real problem.

And regardless, it is a lame not to have the delete feature.

Safety feature? Now that is nonsense. If it were a safety feature than it would be an option (or require many levels of confirmation to do so).

Shut up? Who said that? People need to relax around here, and enjoy the music.

Again....

After recording; then the delete is easy.

Safety feature is used loosely, but you get the idea. No accidental delete while you are out and about.

Don't like it? Send it back! Get what you really like! Research. That is the key.

I ask a lot of questions, and research quite a bit. These forums are great for that. Sure! There are things you won't know until you get the product. But; it always helps to learn as much as you can before buying.

I also tend to think that the lack of deletion is something that iRiver forgot about somewhere along the developement line... it's more a slight niggle than anything, because it's not like the recordings take up a huge ammount of space o.O

and it really matters why?

Man, that's really weird how my ifp-395T can delete any file straight on the player but the ihp can't. You just select the file, press the a-b button and then it gives you a confirmation, you click ok and the file is gone. You cannot delete whole folders however. So iriver must have done this on purpose (what their reasoning is, I have no clue though).

iRiver iFP's has this capability, it can delete songs/recordings without a PC.
