4.0 out of 5 stars Good MP3 Player, February 15, 2004

irock 830 is a very good MP3 player.
It has 128MB memory, plays mp3/wma and also has a FM tuner.
I've used RIO Mp3 player and I would rate this much better than that. I got this from buy.com for a very cheap price.

The pros:
1.Small and lightweight.
2.Good user interface.
3.Software for downloading the files onto the player is simple and effective.
4.FM tuner has 20 presets.
5.Plays MP3/WMA formats.
6.Sleek leather case.

The cons:
1.The earplugs which come along with the player is useless.
2.The forward/previous buttons are difficult to use.
3.Equaliser settings are predefined and cannot be changed.
4.Does not display the running time of a song.

I would definitely recommend this product.

I bought the irock mp3 player last month, and its been really great using it so far. its easy to set up, and very light. It comes with a cool leather carrying case that seems to be very well designed. the earphones that come with it are pretty good, but not the best. Its biggest pro is the music quality and the easy-to-use interface. Its even got an FM tuner, which ought to come in handy when you don't have any songs to play. Another major plus is the battery. It uses AA and the battery life is pretty good. If you already have rechargeable batteries like me, its perfect for you
Now for the cons - the FM tuner isn't really that good, and it doesn't pick up anything but the strongest signals. The headphones aren't really good for running as they keep falling off (they did for me)
Otherwise, I would rate it as a very good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great mp3 player..., September 30, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: irock! 830 MP3 Player (128 MB) (Electronics)

I got this as a present from my sister a few months ago and really like it. The sound quality is perfect, the radio reception is REALLY good, the side scroll buttons aren't messed up(all those other whiners were complaining that it was hard to use)and for its price this mp3 is really worth it. The battery life is also VERY good(it plays for like 30 hours on 1 AA battery). Also, nobody has said how good the software is. Its easy to use, downloads to the player super fast(like 5 or 6 seconds at the most) and if youre new to downloading music or using mp3s, the manual isnt one of those crappy 10 page ones that dont help in any way. By the way that loser who said this mp3 holds "20 songs"
is comepletely lying. I got 40 songs on here, but it still depends on how big the songs file sizes are to say how many songs you can fit on to it. Either way, if you dont need 5000 songs and
some gaint(and super expensive)Ipod or Dell DJ, then get this.

BUT THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS....I have to be honest that there are a few issues with this player, but they still arent bad enough that you shouldnt buy it. First of all, my mp3 like freezes every once in a while which is sort of annoying. It will be playing music and then for no reason, the song will cut off and there will be this loud "beeeepppp"(why i gave it 4 stars), but nobody else has mentioned it so the problem might just be with mine, and its pretty rare for it to freeze anyways. The other thing (as others have said) was that the headphones are crap. They dont even fit in my freakin ears! Its also annoying, but there are plenty of nice headphones out there for 20 bucks, so if you are even thinking of buying an mp3 player, you can afford headphones too.

So hopefully youll buy this mp3 player, its a good price, and to those of you who have this mp3 player, write a review about it!
