5.0 out of 5 stars H320 Is Awesome, January 12, 2005

This review is from: iRiver H320 20GB MP3 Jukebox (Electronics)

I have had my H320 for a month. I love this thing. These HDD Media Players have to be one of the most revolutionary products created in the last decade.....and Iriver makes the best ones.

This thing beats the hell out of the ipod. First of all it has a color screen and photo support. It uses windows explorer for file transfers so there is no additional sw needed.

Go to www.misticriver.net, an Iriver enthusiast site/forum. Here you can learn about ways to increase the capabilities including customizing the theme and even playing avi videos!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Hard Drive/ MP3 Player, February 19, 2005

This review is from: iRiver H320 20GB MP3 Jukebox (Electronics)

The iRiver H320 hard drive/ MP3 player is definitely something great to have. I personally felt that it was better than the iPod because of the color screen, image viewer, FM radio, and recorder. On the H320, I didn't like how there are two places for a USB connection. One connection is called "data," which makes the player show as a hard drive on the computer for regular file storage. The other is entitled "media," which is for synchronization with Windows Media Player 10. I just wonder why they couldn't make one USB connection so that a user wouldn't have to switch to use the H320 as a hard drive or for synchronization. The line in/out feature is good. You can record from and external analog source or even connect another pair of headphones. The player comes with software that updates the database on the player. No drivers are required for its use. Just connect it using the "data" port. I do not know about its compatibility with online music sources-I bought music from walmart.com and doesn't seem to synchronize with the player. Windows Media 10 tells me that I need a security upgrade, but it doesn't download! At first using the player was very confusing. There are only a certain number of buttons that mean multiple things depending on the mode or option that you are in. It takes a little while to learn about what everything means. My H320 takes 15 seconds to load with about half of the 20GB filled. The music organization isn't the best. The player has the options of a file tree like in Windows Explorer to find music, by artist, by album, or by genre. Since I have about 2000 songs I still find that I have to do a lot of scrolling to find what I want. I wish that there were a search by name feature. Making play lists was hard at first. It seems that you can only use Winamp to create play lists, because there is not play list on the go feature. Play lists can only be made out of mp3 files! The FM radio is nice, and has many settings, including the country. The reception is all right, depending on your location. I like the fact that you can record in mp3 from the radio and from other outside sources. There is also a text viewer, but only in the .txt format from Notepad. The EQ/SRS settings are cool. It is user friendly. There are many different settings that you can use for bass, treble, etc. There are also multiple play modes like random, repeat, etc. The LCD is nice and bright, but viewing pictures is another story. Pictures can only be under 1MB in size, and they load slower as the size becomes greater! The recorder is ok for recording speeches, discussions, and music from outside sources such as the radio and external CD players, mp3 players, etc. It is not good for recording live music! The internal microphone can't handle the different frequencies of sound, making the recorded sound become distorted. I guess if you connect a good external mic, it might be perfect. Overall, the player is good. It is a little on the heavy side, and slightly chunky. The case makes it even bulkier. The player itself can be compared to a deck of cards. I wasn't happy with the double USB connection, picture viewer, and recorder, and the music searching. I was impressed with the capacity, color screen, options, and radio. The fact that it had more features and the same size capacity as the Apple iPod made it my choice. There is no scroll wheel, but the button configuration is good. All of the buttons are flat, which requires that you keep pressing or holding the down or up buttons to find what you want. Pressing a button once has a function, while, if you hold the same button down, it brings you to another different option. Anyway, I felt that this definitely was worth my $296.40. I would recommend it for users who want to carry all of their music collection around all of the time. It is good for use that does not require a lot of physical movement, because there are moving parts within the player! -Written by fet4.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic MP3 player, November 1, 2004

This review is from: iRiver H320 20GB MP3 Jukebox (Electronics)

I LOVE this thing. It sounds great. It looks great. It performs fantastic. I bought the previous model and took it back after 3 weeks when I heard this one was coming out. The first one was great, this one I like even better.

If you pinned me down, I guess I might complain that occassionally you will hear the same song within a couple of hours under the "shuffle" play mode.

I travel a lot for work so having all of my music and being able to keep pictures of my family on there is really nice. The pics are small, but you can't have everything, especially for something so small. If the pics are a very large size, though, sometimes it akes awhile to pop up.

I'd recommend this to anyone.
