Rating + 1


Pros: None!!!

Cons: Received this iriver MP3/4 player for one day and tried to turn on the power and absolutely nothing. The usb cable was not included in the package; so I cannot re-charge the battery. Had to return a 'nextar' mps3 because that was also defective. Seems that I am the unfortunate one to receive two MP3/4 player and both have been disappointing.

Rating + 4 Great MP4 Player


Pros: Great player, is able to use the movie converter software for converting video. Resolution is good and the display is bright. Good price.

Cons: Still have not figure out how to create a play list. Seems like the iRiver plus 3 is not talking to the player. Need more research on that.

Other Thoughts: 1 week after i bought this, another iRiver player (4.3 inches display) is on sell for 20 more dollars. However, the review is not that good. Maybe want to try a bigger screen. Sorry that I have bought the Zen, now it is useless.

Rating + 5 best mp3 ever


Pros: finally, iriver is back with quality...I have over than 10 different mp3 player, my oldest and my best sound quality is the iriver IHP120...the spinn has all the features to be the best of the best mp3 player. The sound quality is excellent like the IHP120, don`t need an headphone amp for better sound. The spinn work perfectly with my shure SE530 earphone, the best formula for the best quality sound ever!!
Everyone should try it, forget all the Ipods and go for the Iriver spinn...

Rating + 5 Pleased


Pros: This thing has so many nice features including the obvious ones such as the beautiful screen they boast and has a somewhat nice and unique interface with a lot of audio and video support. Audio quality is very good (better than Ipod touch) After upgrading to firmware 2.00 the player includes a clipboard (for drawing/notes) and adds features such as a sleep timer, set recording from radio at a specific time, and video/text book marking. Bluetooth is one of the nicest features added so you can be wireless and control the player (Ipod touch doesnt have this).

Cons: No accelerometer, Memory Card Expandability, or Wifi. The only thing about the interface i don't like is the way you choose artist from the songs menu. And the pictures menu seems a little slow like it could be maybe a little faster. NO Scratch resistent screen, means you will need a screen protector (Unlike the Ipod Touch or Cowon S9)

Other Thoughts: This is one of the best MP3 players I've had and it has a lot of potentional.Id like to see some sort UI designer or more games being developed for it. I've seen website say that the player supports FLAC but when i put them on my player it does not recognize the FLAC Files. (I didnt test after I upgradde the firmware though. So maybe it does now.

If youre looing for a unique player with one of the most beautiful screens and good sound quality then this player is for you. If youre planing to use it mostly to play games, or look at pictures than it might be better to choose something different.

Rating + 5 Beautiful Toy


Pros: I fully admit I was mostly looking for an aesthetically pleasing mp3 player for the holidays and this one is top of the list! (Prettier than apple products I think.) The little clicker/spinner is very cool and the product just feels great in your hands. Plus, for anything it lacks in bells and whistles, you can't beat the newegg price w/ $100 off list, plus free shipping & no tax! (Best price I found anywhere - but be sure it's a toy you want to keep like I do, because you can only do an even exchange - no returns.) Bluetooth is a nice touch. The interface is beautiful, you can dress up the home screen with any kind of wallpaper you like, (haven't even gotten into the flash capabilities yet) and I especially enjoy being able to record off radio with a high quality result. Video, Picture, & Audio quality are excellent. Supports ALL the music formats. One of the few players that gives you a nice large screen - the whole thing is screen. Amen!

Cons: It doesn't have expandable memory or WiFi. The headphones are just ok - get an upgrade to really take advantage of the great sound this little spinn provides. A protective cover would have been nice (but I don't think any of the players provide these.) I couldn't get the player software to work with my version of Windows XP, but the included Media Player 11 Software works fine. Most mp3 player software lacks in one way or another in terms of storing files, creating playlists and so on, and this one has it's quirks, but for the price I'm not complaining :) (Now if I'd paid $289 I'd be saying probably not worth the price...)

Other Thoughts: Someone else wrote you can only delete songs one at a time - not true if you go into windows explorer and highlight as many tracks as you want to unload using the cntrl key. So all in all, if your're a gadget geek like me, at $189 (newegg rocks!), this is a beautiful, unique piece of technology that you'll be thrilled to own.

Rating + 2 Buyer Beware!


Pros: Excellent audio sound. From a purely asthetic viewpoint, this is a simply beautiful piece of Very well made hardware. From it's brushed magnesium case to its large vibrant AMOLED screen, it is a joy to hold and look at!

Cons: The user interface, I personally, found _so_ unwieldly and cumbersome as to make this unit unbearable to use. Little things, like you have 1,000 songs in a catagory and want to delete them all, you cannot just delete the one folder they are in, you must _manually_ drag and drop via the touch screen, 1,000 times, once for each file. I could find NO other way in the documentation to delete a file other than by using the touch screen. You may like myself, find yourself just formatting the entire device to delete large directories.
I also ended up with a number of empty folders that it could not delete for no apparent reason, just said "cannot delete file", and I was stuck with it. Also, the beautiful large screen is not nearly used to its full potential. Album art is limited to one tiny cornor of the screen. Clearly, the manufacturing guys did their part but the firmware and user interface guys were not quite on the ball when this unit was released; _In my own opinion_!

Other Thoughts: Believe me, I _really_ wanted to like/love this device as it is just SO well made physically, and really is beautiful to behold. But the user interface firmware is in serious need of a total makeover in order for this to be more easily used. Oh, and there is a "non--refundable" return policy so if you buy it and are not happy with it.... Oh well....

Rating + 5 Great iriver mp3 player


Pros: The video quality and sound quality is great. There's haptic feedback which is a plus. It's so fun to spin and click. You can download theme's and fonts. And the best thing is that its so light. I'd say the lightest in its class. AVI playable and the battery lasts quite a while. The FM radio actually gets good reception! I've had 5 irivers before this and all the radios sucked. Now I can actually listen to the woody show on 105.3. haha Bluetooth works well. The music sorting is almost ipod quality. You can switch it to korean!

Cons: The touch screen is so so. There's only 8 gigs with no microSD expansion or any other expansion for that matter. No external speaker which is kind of a downer. Portrait screen is kind of awkward to use.

Other Thoughts: All in all I'd say this maybe a revival platform iriver which had been lagging these past couple years. I've had a PMP, IFP-800 and 625, the clix, and mini H-10 which were all good, but I think the spinn is awesome. I hope its machine washable. haha I've accidentally washed and dried all my irivers because it was in my jean pockets. They all came out working, clean, and detergent scented. If the spinn only had a camera it would be top of the line. The Spinn Scroller is the perfect button to take pictures
