Learn More. Pros: Small package. Clear display. Can record from FM radio. FM reception is above average. Got a great deal on this during the Black Friday sale here. Cons: The interface is not intuitive at all. The screens are rather plain when nice color graphics wouldn't have been too hard to implement.
Hopefully they'll allow some skins to be loaded in the near future. It took a solid minute just to get the list of songs to display. Regarding this, on the last page of the manual, it says the following: "It is recommended to store up to 1, music files and 2, picture files.
Needed to have the latest firmware appiled right out of the box to be able to function properly in Windows XP.
This one saves as WMA files with no other file format options. Album Art seems to be a science in itself on this. Having seen my wife's iPod just load up images automatically, this is like going back to the stone age.
Overall Review: Once you figure out the interface, it's not a bad product. Reading the manual is a necessity to figure out where the hid often used features. They really need to refine the user interface a lot.
It truly feels like a test product instead of a production item. Because of the several nuances with this product, it got 3 eggs. Hopefully iRiver will make some firmware releases to address these limitations, which would easily make it a 5 egg product.
Pros: It plays ogg and flac, in addition to the more common formats. What other player handles ogg and flac? It's also really small, and clicking the outside of the screen rather than having a touchscreen interface seems like a smarter, more durable solution. All in all, however, the iriver Lplayer is a worthy nano competitor, and continues the strong legacy of the popular Clix in a more compact and less expensive package. More MP3 Player Reviews:.
Good 3. Bottom Line A worthy follow-up to the venerable Clix, this iPod nano-esque player is a viable alternative for those not tied to iTunes. Pros Compact design. Good-looking graphics.

Home Reviews iRiver Lplayer. In this article… 1. Verdict 2. Trusted Score Share:. Trusted Score. Score in detail Sound Quality 9. By Jonathan Bray. Namely, we found that the buttons under the edges weren't entirely responsive at times, sometimes taking several presses before registering an action. It seems that you have to click on a particular place to get a quick response on the first try--no easy feat when the actual buttons aren't visible.
Also annoying is that supported video file types must be run through some software for conversion during transfer in order to work properly on the device; drag and drop isn't really an option here. The rated hour battery life for music isn't awesome, either, though 4 hours for video is decent check back for Labs results.
On the plus side, photo, video, and audio quality is good. Photos look bright and crisp, with nice color saturation. Videos look fine, though we noticed some letterboxing, which made the already small picture even smaller--not great for extended viewing.
Music through our test Shure SEs sounds solid, though not stellar. Bass is nice and tight, though not entirely thumping. You can adjust for this with the sound settings, but that tends to affect the cleanliness of the music overall. Mids are decently represented, however, the LPlayer seemed to be lacking a certain amount of warmth and richness.
