The iRiver 20 GB model H10 is the perfect portable digital player/recorder for true music and audio enthusiasts. Hardly bigger than a deck of cards, its 1.8-inch hard drive has space for over 5,000 songs (128 kbps MP3, 4 minutes per song) or more than 330 hours of music. Yet the whole player measures just 2.4 x 4 inches (W x H) and less than an inch deep. Sensibly arranged controls--including an intuitive central touchpad--make it child's play to setup and use, and an internal battery delivers up to 16 hours of non-stop music between charges.
But the H10 is about more than just music. It comes complete with a brilliant, full-color 1.8-inch TFT LCD that supports up to 260,000 colors, rendering your favorite JPEG digital photos with breathtaking clarity. (Yep, it does slide shows, too.) What's more, an integrated text viewer lets you lose yourself in paperless novels, news, essays, short stories--you name it.
A built-in microphone facilitates use as a voice recorder, with 3 quality settings to choose from. The unit also features a built-in FM tuner with a choice of automatic and manual channel-search functions, including 20 station presets for one-touch tuning to your favorites, especially handy for traffic and news updates when you're out and about. An antenna built into the supplied headset ensures crystal-clear sound quality, and a timer lets you set the H10 to record radio programs with real-time MP3 encoding at specific times of your choosing.
The H10 is PlaysForSure compatible and fully integrated with Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, which makes it even easier to enjoy your digital media. In addition to a range of options for managing digital content, you'll enjoy fast access to the H10's "digital media hall," where you can scavenge the virtual shelves of numerous online shops (including Napster To Go) in search of cool songs old and new. With the player/recorder connected to your PC, you'll be able to purchase and download songs straight into the H10. An auto-sync function synchronizes music and image files on the H10 with those stored on your PC, just like a PDA.
Icing on the cake, the H10 also a guaranteed head turner with a high-grade aluminum casing whose purist elegance is as pleasing to the eye as the touch.

The price and the storage capacity of this device are the two main features that drew me to it. I have 150+ CDs and decided that storing them on an MP3 player would be better than carrying all them around. The only problem is when the MP3 player is connected to the computer via USB 2.0, the player sometimes freezes up. I freaked out the first time this happend and called the company. It turned out everything was fine and all I had to do is hit the reset button on the player . It has alot of features minus the abilty to play videos. But that doesn't really bother me. I don't download music with a subcription service, so I can't tell you how it does with that. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Mike (Georgia) - See all my reviews This review is from: Remanufactured iRiver H10 20 GB MP3 Player/Recorder (Blue) (Electronics) This is an amazing piece of technology, and an awesome price. The sound quality is great, the user interface is easy to understand and very intuitional (it doesn't take a lot fo thought...), and of course the capacity is amazing. I have about 1300 songs on it right now and plenty of room for a lot more. Only problem is that every now and then it has to be reset and it can be a bit glitchy, but that's pretty mch the way it is with all mp3 players. By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Remanufactured iRiver H10 20 GB MP3 Player/Recorder (Blue) (Electronics) Very easy to navigate and record sound. I had a problem with the hard disk and had to replace it once. I ordered the hard drive from ebay for around $12.
Appart from this hard disk problem I found this product to be very satisfactory. |
