iRiver IFP 795

Pros

It can go louder than the iAudio 5 ( 18 mWs@16 ohms vs 13 mWs)

It has 2x the battery life of the iAudio 5

It can display lyrics for the songs its playing.

It has good SQ.

Cons

It is not plug and play(at least not with out a firmware update)

It does not playback .WAV

It only supports WMA up to 192kbps.




P.S:I do not have an iAudio 5 so i do not know much about.

Just keep in mind that iRiver has bad customer support.
I emailed them a simple question and they took about a week to respond.

yeah... i was looking for 512MB players 256 is just too small and 1GB usually costs too much

yeah. their email support is incredibly slow. but once you get past that or their phone support, getting a RMA and a replacement is really quick (atleast with iRiverAmerica)
