iriver E100

The iriver E100 is iriver's first North American release since the popular Clix2. It is not considered a top-of-the-line mp3 player, but sits more in the lower end line for its class. It is a flash-based player and comes in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB models. True to iriver's previous media player models, it supports a wide range of audio formats and video formats, although video will require some conversion to work. The E100 has some nice added value for a player in this price range such as: built-in speaker, FM tuner, voice recorder, microSD slot and text reader. Requires Windows XP or or Windows Vista (no Mac support).

Companies aren't even trying anymore. Can't anybody give Apple a run for their money? The Touch has been out for almost a year now, and nothing really comes close. A shame, really.

Problems with WMV-9, MPG-4 and XVID support can be solved by using a free opensource program called http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/download.htm Video settings: frames per second (FPS) 24 or 25, 600 KPBS format Xvid, container AVI, Picture settings: 320 x 240 - check the cropper settings you want In the audio use the Lame MP3 settings no more then 44100 hz (probably 33,000).
