Rockin' Red [Posted on 2006-10-15]
I have had this item now for close to 1-1/2 years. It is all that and a bag of chips. It has never failed me. It has a radio, it runs on one AA battery. Now mind you it has limitations. I rip my mp3's at 56mps so as to get more on the player, I can get around 125 songs on there. Not much you say? Yep you are right my one complaint would be not enough room. However that said for stuff like running which i use it for amongst other things it is perfect. The sound quality is superb.

Best for OTR [Posted on 2006-10-19]
I've had my iRiver IFP-790 for a couple of years. I use it to play my Old Time Radio shows. The Music Manager is a breeze to use and I've never had a bit of trouble with the unit or the software. It has a true resume feature which is a must for OTR. It picks up exactly where you left off when you power down.
Sound quality is great.
I'm sold on iRiver quality!

Great product for recording sounds for podcasts [Posted on 2007-01-07]
I started a pod cast a few months ago and needed a device to record sounds for it. After speaking to many other podcasters, they all used this product. Some even bought more than one so they would always have a backup device to use incase one of them stopped working! I got one and so far it has created many great recordings for my podcast. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the controls are a bit confusing to figure out at first. It took me a few weeks and many recordings to figure out just how to use the buttons and toggle switch but once you do it many times, it becomes second nature to you. It gives me tons of recording time (over 5 hours worth) and the batteries last for all of it. I do use rechargeable batteries and have to charge them after each use but I do that just so I know when I am out making recordings, I will always have full power to record. Using the interface with my computer was also a bit confusing. I have an new iMac and this is one of the few iRiver recorders that work with iMac. All the new ones do not work with Macs. This is one reason I had to find an older model of an iRiver. There were no instructions on how it works with the OS X system... only the help section on the software. After much trial and error I was able to figure out how to transfer the recordings from the iRiver to my Mac. Once I figured that out, it works fine! Hope this helps!

Built like a Tank [Posted on 2007-02-23]
Pros: Durable, increadable battery life, brilliant indaglow display, excelent sound quality, simple transfer direct from a CD player

Cons:holds only 2560 kbs

I purchased one of these for XC training back in 05 for $90. Since then I have taken it running, backpacking and have left it in the bottom of my school backpack. It has stood up to every kind of punishment that I have throne at it , and yet has still served me faithfully. I have timed a single 2650 MA AA battery to have lasted in exess of 40 hrs with normal EQ settings and the volume under 15 on the digital slider. The only problem with it is that a L shaped hedphone jack sometimes has trouble stayng in if jostled about to much.
