Title: Could Be Great - But Deeply Flawed
Review: Beware!This is a great-looking player - sleek, color screen, and so forth. But, as of this writing, it has serious flaws in functionality and sound.- Any significant bass distorts when using my Koss Portapro headphones (I've used them for many other players with no problems). I'm not talking thunderous bass - just typical stuff, with equalizer set flat.- Player only lists (and plays) songs alphabetically, rather than by track numnber, which has proved to be even more annoying than I thought it would.- Player can take a long time to skip from one song to the next.It is possible that these problems will be fixed by a firmware upgrade (that does not yet exist). It is possible that they cannot be fixed by firmware, or that iRiver will simply choose not fix them. I'd strongly recommend that propesctive buyers wait until all is repaired rather than taking a risk.
