Well i now have my iriver, and im quite happy with it. So far i've
only used 280 odd MB of it and it does quite nicly, Most of my music
is ogg, and it plays all but two, but i think that is because the
bitrate is too high (they are all variable bitrate).

The battery is almost flat (though i got it last nite), so much for
40hrs, lol :) I assume it is all the USB activity thats killing the
battery.

It looks good but it is a little chunky. If i every make it to a meet,
I'll bring it along. I will try to attend, as the work thing i had to
do is put off until next week.

To get it working i had to install some library and a program which
only works as root, typical, so i will do something about that when i
have chance.
