5 out of 5 stars The best little mp3 player of them all!.......2007-12-25

I've tried a whole bunch of different mp3 players, and this one fits my needs better than any of the others. First, its small size makes it easy to keep in just about any pocket. Battery life is great, at over 15 hours, and the fact that it takes AAA's means that if I run out of rechargeable batteries while I am out on the road, I can pick up a substitute at any gas station.

Well okay, you say, but how does it work? Great! It syncs easily with Windows Media Player 10 or 11. The LCD display makes it easy to navigate to just the item I want. I can put a week's worth of podcasts on the T30, and it has been serving my needs without complaint for over a year now. These little guys are getting harder to find now, and I'm going to pick up another one as a spare. Five stars!

4 out of 5 stars Not perfect, but it's convenient and takes a beating.......2007-11-17

I've had my T30 for two years, and it's still playing. I had no trouble setting it up, really, just a plug and play or plug and upload and I've got plenty of music for a bike trip or a long hike. And when I'm tired of the selections, I just erase what I don't want and download new selections. (I really don't understand the complaints about using MS Media Player or Windows XP.)

I will stay with iRiver so long as they make an MP3 player that operates off a Triple A battery. That's why I also have the 2 GB iRiver.

Sorry Amazon, but I don't understand the price listed. I got the 2 GB for just under $100, and the T30 for $80.

4 out of 5 stars Good line-in mp3 recorder.......2007-11-09

Update on 12/06:
I can finally use explorer to find the file. It's a good unit now.

Ken

I got the Clix gen2 but found that line-in recording required me to but another accessory (the cradle).

For Clix gen2, I need to use both the player and the remote to do line-in recording. With this device, the operation is much simple (check the "Ask Alice" support in the Iriver website).

I used the T30 to record music from a CD. The quality is good. Everything will be recorded in mp3 format.

The only problem I had was I couldn't transfer music back to my PC. I record a sermon in mp3 format and tried to upload it to my church website but I couldn't do it. I couldn't see it from Explore so I couldn;t transfer the file. I wish someone can tell me how to do it (it's difficult to get support from Iriver if you cannot find answer in the FAQ section).

2 out of 5 stars troublesome little gizmo.......2007-10-31

The sound is good, the transfer of files to and from the laptop are easy enough. My problems:

* There are only a few buttons to do many things. What the button does depends on how many times you click it (sort of like double-clicking a mouse), and which menu, and what stage of that menu, you're in. Only, the buttons don't always seem to work as they should. So you're always navigating about all sorts of menus and submenus that you don't really want to be in, seeking the menu you want.

* The screen is tiny. And though it's lit in blue, the lighting doesn't last long. You can't ponder the menu long before it goes dark. Maybe iRiver figures that if you're over 40, you're not a valuable consumer for MP3s anyway, so who cares whether you can easily see the menu or not?

Trying to read the menus (impossible at nightime), and then navigate about the menus, clicking and double-clicking, is a frustrating experience.

I'd prefer an MP3 recorder with more dedicated buttons (i.e., buttons that each do only one thing), and a bigger, brighter screen.

2 out of 5 stars Terrible customer service!!!.......2007-08-27

A year or so ago I was given an I-River mp3 player by my then girlfriend/now wife as a gift and was thrilled by the sound quality and size/weight, not to mention the fact that by buying I-River I wasn't supporting the all-consuming i-pod hysteria that seemed to be taking over the world. The honeymoon thereafter was wonderful, and lasted up until about 2 months ago, when inexplicably the I-River went into full crash mode, allowing me only the insignia, and nothing else. When I called the I-River customer service, I was notified that since I had no proof of purchase (my wife had lost the receipt) that I would be relegated to paying for technical service (59.99, paid in advance), even though it was well under the two year warrantable period. I was treated rudely at that time, but I understood that it was my fault for not having the receipt and gladly accepted my fate in the hands of their outsource technicians, AV Sense, based in California. The only problem-AV Sense is TERRIBLE!!! They don't explain their procedure for returns (except that you have to send them the $60 via web portal/ Paypal first, before they can answer any questions), their web support is sketchy, with non-existent representatives and no phone numbers for direct access, and when you do get in touch with them, they seem as confused as you. After re-sending it to them twice (and finally digging one of their personal phone numbers out of the bowels of the internet) they sent me back, once again, an mp3 FULL of glitches that once again crashed only days after receiving it. My attempt to contact a real customer service representative from the actual I-River company ended at Peter, who claimed to be the top of the totem pole for complaints and dissatisfied customers. Certainly he would care that a loyal, honest I-River customer had been put through unnecessary headache over and over again, right? Nope. Peter wasn't the least bit concerned, even after I'd calmly and articulately detailed the ordeal, about anything I'd been through. He didn't seem the least bit concerned that the tech support company he and his company were sending their customers to was wholly incompetent. There wasn't even an `I'm sorry' tone in his voice. He simply said `too bad', and when I asked if I could please contact his supervisor by either email or phone he again said `no, I don't want to give that information out.'

The moral to the story is, if this is the way I-River customers are treated, and this is the kind of support they're giving for their products, perhaps I should rethink my disdain for I-Pod. At the very least, I'm sure they're outsource techs are more competent. And I'm sure they're customer representatives are better trained and more respectful than young Peter.

Just my opinion.

            Amazon.com Product Description

            With the TOPO! map of Indiana, National Geographic has taken the interactive topographic map experience to a new level.

State Series offers five levels of map detail that is unprecedented in its accuracy. Professional and weekend hikers alike will be amazed at how indispensable TOPO! will quickly become in the back country.

            Simply load TOPO! onto your PC, and you'll immediately begin to see the benefits of this award-winning software. With TOPO! you can customize any of the hundreds of state maps available with your proposed routes, notes and even photos. You can also create and view elevation profiles that will help you visualize your planned trek. By connecting to any standard color or black-and-white desktop printer, TOPO! allows you to select the exact area that you want to print, even if it is larger than the screen or covers multiple quad maps. TOPO! makes it a breeze to add map border information to printouts, including UTM or latitude/longitude grids, scale bars, north arrows, and magnetic declination. With Adventure Paper (sold separately) you can print out waterproof trail maps -- along with all your marks and annotations -- that will survive any rainstorm the wilderness can throw at you.

            TOPO! is also GPS ready, with no extensions or upgrades required. Transferring waypoints and routes between your GPS and TOPO! couldn't be easier. And with Pocket TOPO! (sold separately), you can take full advantage of your PDA the next time the wilderness calls. Simply download your maps and notes to your device, and off you go. When your trip is complete, you can upload the field notes you took with your PDA back onto your PC, and you'll have created a detailed record of your hike for future reference. No more worries about not being able to read your notes or misplacing your notebooks. Everything you need for your next hike will be saved exactly where it should be--with your map!
