t60

simply the best mp3 player...I
have owned many iriver products and this is a great player once u get past the knob controller...
AAA batteries are too small 
2008-08-10
I bought this to replace an earlier iRiver iFP-890, that I really liked, and I looked for a replacement only because the 890 was stolen. As mentioned in another review, I can confirm that the AAA batteries don't last nearly as long as the AA batteries in my earlier iRiver, so you need to be sure to carry several rechargeables with you, and the recharger for long trips. As well, my experience seems to support that mentioned in the "mixed bag" review, to get the correct battery display you need to say alkaline when you mean rechargeable.
Good sound, crappy controls 
2008-06-15
EQ settings are awesome. Sound quality is great.
But the little knob for controlling the unit is horrible. Pressing the knob is the equivalent as typing the enter/return key on your keyboard. Don't do it too hard, though, because the knob gets lodged into the unit, making it impossible to adjust the volume. When I say "lightly" use this button, its an understatement.
The prism screen looks awesome. Battery life... is ok I guess. You can record an FM station for about 3 hours before the battery is dead.
You also can set whether you have a rechargable battery or alkaline installed. If you set rechargeable, the unit will die quicker. I have no idea why. I can get maybe an hour out of recording before the unit turns off. I measure my battery's life in my charger, and it has PLENTY of juice left. So needless to say, if you are going to use rechargeables, just leave it on the alkaline setting. Seems like a useless feature.
Not quite what I expected. 2008-06-10
What I liked about the T60: Being able to schedule FM
recordings, The ability to adjust the sound EQ, compact
and easy to carry.
What I didn't like: The controls a difficult to use (to
small, very sensitive), the AAA batteries only provide
enough power to record for a couple of hours (about 2),
the battery meter will show 3/4 to 1/2 power remaining
but will stop recording after approx. 30 minutes.
Best MP3 player 2008-04-24
Sound quality is excellent and all the functions are easy to use. Some people mentioned that there is some problem with the toggle for navigation, but I don't have any problem at all! They must have very thick fingers... It is made very firm and also delicate. From a mechanical point of view, I can see how much effort they put when they design this product. Another thing I like about this product is that it uses AAA battery. I have used other MP3 players which have built in rechargible batteries. They are small, but as time goes by, you need to charge more and more often as the battery dies out and there is no way to replace battery. Iriver T60 vertually last forever. I have been using Iriver T30 for three years with no problem at all(except 512mb is a bit small now), and I know the quality of the Iriver products. I highly recommend this player and stay away from cheap MP3 players like Sandisk, Philips, creative, coby,and etc. I believe Iriver is the first company that developed MP3 player and you can trust the quality.

Like it alot 2008-04-10
This is my first mp3 player. I have bought similar players as gifts for my kids so I have read some reviews before buying. I like the sound quality - of course that too depends on the earphones (I bought JBUDS with it - the stock phones are poor quality so get a better pair). Nice features like many different equalizer settings including presets and two that you can tinker with - I especially like the SRS mode that you can adjust to your liking. Other things like a sleep timer, alarm, clock, etc. But what was very important to me in picking a player was the battery. This one takes one regular AAA size battery. I suggest rechargeables. I bought the 2gb version - you might want to buy the 4gb if you have many mp3's or wma's.
good as expected 2008-04-05
good looking, good sound, easy to carry
but minor thing, a little bit uncomfortable to change mode (i.e. from radio to mp3)
Uno de los mejores reproductores MP3 2008-04-02
Decidà comprar este reproductor, gracias a uno de 256Mb que tuve en mi casa. Este superó mis expectativas, ya que tiene 2Gb de capacidad y funciones mejoradas como el ecualizador con funciones personalizadas. Estoy muy contento con este producto y con el vendedor.
Nothing for me 2008-03-30
I bought this item especially as an voice recorder, but either I couldn't figure it out or it simple don't works. And to be honest I'm not patient enough to try it over and over again. The worst problem was the handling. Before I bought this item I was reading the ratings but since I have small fingers I thought I could handle it better than the other customers, but I was wrong, it was really annoying to handle it. Another failure was that I couldn't change the language. The good point was the drag and drop possibility using windows vista without installing the CD. FM was working well also. Another good point: one aaa battery. All together I will return this item and buy an Olympus voice recorder and maybe another mp3 player for audiobooks and FM features.
