thanks

I own an Iriver H320, and I find the UI to be vary easy. The only difference is that to know how to use everything you need the manual, however for the basic stuff it is very easy. If you have your music organized into folders the you'll love the way the music is organized on the Iriver. If it is not organized into folders however, you may not like the Iriver so much as navigating through a hundred songs is slow when compared against a touchpad. With proper organization however it is much faster than the touchpad.
My organization is:
--First folders organize by alphabetical order. For Example:
# to C
D To F
Inside those folders my music is then organized by artist. For Example:
# To C/Bon Jovi/Crush/Is my Life.
In other words my organization is:
Alphabetical Range/Artist/Album Song.
With this organization navigation is much faster than even compared against the ipod, or a micro (I have tried both players).
The other best part is that there is no need to complain about software with the H320 as it does not need any. When You connect it, it is recognized as if it was another Hard Drive, therefore you only need to grag and drop the files.
I definatelly recommend the H320. If you have a good organization, or are willing to organize your music. You coud also use software to have the music organized automatically in the same way as it is on the Micro. And that program (TDT) is also better than Micros, and its free. The only bad thing about this way of music organization is that it does not give you an alphabetical order. Without the alphabetical order, if you have more than 100 artists, or albums (depending on browsing mode), it is going to take long to get to a selection in the middle of the list. If you are willing to organize, or already have your music organized into folders, I definately recommend this, If not I recommend the RIO karma.
