Awesome, but small memory., October 28, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: iRiver iFP-880 - Digital player / radio - flash 128 MB - WMA, MP3 - blue (Electronics)

Forgetting the technical information mentioned in many reviews, this device serves its purpose: It plays music.

I ADORE my iRiver, however, this model has little memory for a teenager, who is sure to have a large library when it comes to songs. The most I can get on here is about 70-89 four minuteish songs, falling far from the amount needed.

I got this for Christmas 2004, almost a year, and since then I've only gotten one scratch on it, and I drop it about once a week from five feet in the air.

Through my $120 Sennheisers (playing a song at 320 bps), there was NO fuzz and my custom-set EQ settings were carried out flawlessly. I could hear things though this mp3 player that I cant hear out of my computer. 11 out of ten when it comes to sound.

There's so much to this thing. The FM/AM radio sounds better than my car sterio, but it gets a bit broken up when it's moved around fast. The line-in can be set to custom bit-rates for either better memory or quality, it's great for getting a song your friend has that you don't. The voice recorder works well, but admittedly it is a bit hard to get to. It sounds great however, at least it's high quality.

The packaged earbuds are impressive, better than...Read more
