iRiver iFP 799T 1 GB Flash MP3 Player Reviews

 

The iFP-799 combines advanced iRiver sound quality with a stylish, wearable design. It features 1GB of internal memory for up to 34 hours of music, extended battery life up to 40 hours on one AA, a built-in FM tuner and voice recorder. It also records...

Next, features. It has a lot! FM radio; recording from mic, radio or line in; a simple but effective graphic equalizer; many shuffle play modes... even a clock and fun visualizations. I think the EQ presets are pretty worthless, but you can do a custom...

iRiver iFP-799 - Digital Music Player

 

The iRiver iFP-799 is a high-capacity flash memory digital music player, but how does it compare to the new breed of hard disk players?

The iRiver iFP-799 is by far the best sounding portable audio device I have ever come across, although you need to use some good quality headphones to really hear this. The battery life is also very impressive, but the downside is that it’s not...

Looks Pretty Good

 

I just got this last week and have been playing with it since. The bulk of this review will focus on the voice recording capability. I bought it for that reason. The professional reviews were fairly consistently specifying iRiver as the best of the...

Great player, excellent sound!

 

The 1 GB storage is great. I put all of the music that I wanted and still have plenty to spare. I haven't tried the recording feature yet, but I am looking forward to trying it. The LCD is a perfect size- small enough to maintain portability, but large...

Great Player

 

Awesome player... I am currently using it with ogg's and it works great (use >96kbps, I use atleast 112kbps... if not, then it won't play them). Battery life is outstanding (much better than my Creative Nomad IIc). It seems like the battery life...

Good interface..

 

I would rather see a player that is truly a USB device that doesn't require 'extra' software to place songs on the player. Raw MP3s or WMA files would be great without the bad interfaces. Otherwise I like it alot.

Words aren't enough...

 

Great, great, great... I bought it for my stepfather as a birthday gift, he loves his music, and he was extremely happy with this player, its small, yet not overly small, I had to walk him through the steps of using the controls because it is a little...
