iRiver LPlayer (8GB, white) review

By (cnet.com)

The Iriver LPlayer is packed with features, including an FM radio, voice recording, bookmarking, subscription music support, multiple sound-enhancement options, and support for both Mac and Windows. It also offers an ultracompact design with a nice, ...

The LPlayer's buttons aren't always responsive, and our test unit came with a bug that caused album names to be displayed in a foreign language. Videos must be transferred through software, and the rated battery life is not great

A worthy follow-up to the venerable Clix, this iPod nano-esque player is a viable alternative for those not tied to iTunes.

iriver Lplayer (4GB)

By Jeffrey L. Wilson (laptopmag.com)

This budget MP3 player supports a variety of formats, but an uninspired design relegates it to the land of the average digital audio player.

Supports numerous audio/video codecs, Loud volume

Lacks memory card slot, Awkward placement of volume buttons, Ho-hum design

Priced at $99.99, the Lplayer is a solid music player that's compatible with a number of audio/video formats for the hardcore multimedia set. If you're satisfied with its limited amount of memory, and don't mind the odd placement of the volume button, ...

Jockeying for position in the budget digital audio player market is iriver's...

iRiver Lplayer

By Nate Lanxon (cnet.co.uk)

The most notable feature of the iRiver Lplayer music and video player is its ease of use. Helped by its simple menus, this is a great player for technophobes and the usually gadget-fearing population. It's a great MP3 player: cute, small, simple and ...

Design ; screen quality ; easy to use ; good file format support ; decent sound quality

Poor battery life ; buttons aren't very sensitive

The iRiver Lplayer is a very likeable player with a decent feature set and an ideal choice for anyone seeking a small and simple MP3 player for music. The best reason to choose it is its small size and intuitive navigation system

Sometimes things are just too far away to see. That's where superzooms like...

"Hardware is nice, but track sorting makes it unusable"

By cjhendrix (cnet.com)

I wish the Cnet review had mentioned these pr... 

Very light and compact. Screen is small and clear, displaying video well. Interface buttons are simple and unlikely to be pushed accidentally, which means you don't have to bother with the lock switch if you don't want.

Ratings (in file tags) and playlists don't sync from WMP 11. This might be tolerable, but combined with the fact that all menus are sorted by Album Artists (even when can only see track names or album names), makes it difficult to use.
