iRiver T10 512 MB MP3 Player with FM Tuner

Earlyer I had a iPod Nano, it was good but it broke.So not a lot of mp3 players are better than iPod since everyone knows what those are and they have a good reputation. So I was looking for something cheap. I saw the iRiver T10 512MB mp3 player and I liked the way it looked. I have to say the picture makes the color look dark red but no its light red, not pink. I Also read all of the customer reviews for this product and the 1 GB T10 as well. Nothing about this mp3 player is bad. People said it hard or confusing about using it or getting it set up on the computer, I sure dont think so and i'm only 14 years old so if I can set it up and use it easly then you can too.

Features: A-B repeat, Press the record button and you can save songs that you dont own from the radio thats in the mp3 player to the mp3 player or you can record your own voice when you speak into a microphone thats also built in, It tells time, Locks so it never turns on accidentily, and its got tons of...Read more

I had never owned an MP3 player before the last 2 weeks. I got a couple giftcards though and decided that I needed another new toy to play with, so I looked at MP3 players. After briefly using an RCA Lyra, I took it back when I found out it didn't work with JANUS and it's FM tuner was weak at best.

Then I took a look at the iRivers on the suggestion of some various people and I have not been disappointed.

Pros : Excellent battery life (50 hours), FM tuner, great sound, easy to use controls, what I think is an attractive design, light but sturdy, compatible with subscription music, and a great color screen

Cons : A little expensive for the memory it has

As I don't have a lot of music, FM tuners and subscription music are the only way I would get any value out of an MP3 player and it's really great that I can have both of these features in a player that is a really high end device from a respected company. If it's in your budget,...Read more

Pros: Excellent sound quality. Color screen. Intuitive interface. Recording from radio. Built in microphone.
Cons: No armband included. With battery, actually feels a little heavy (but not too bad). FW was a pain in the butt to upgrade. Headphones have good sound, but are uncomfortable.

This player comes with firmware 1.04 out of the box. You can use the player in one of two modes: UMS or MTP. UMS stands for Universal Mass Storage; you can plug your player into the USB port of your computer and it shows up as a drive. Then you just drag and drop files into the player, and best of all, you can hook it up to any computer (but you can only upgrade firmware with Windows XP). MTP (I think stands for Media Transport Protocol) is the other mode, and via MTP you can have Windows Media Player manage your music collection and sync up with the player.

Personally, I like UMS. It's easy to just drag and drop.

So now, my gripe about the firmware...Read more
