Summary: One of the best MP3 players
Review: I have been reviewing the market for a multi-functional MP3 player, which could store most of my music collection. Being a student I also wanted a voice recorder that could record my class lectures. For the price and quality iAudio definitely beats everything out there. The FM radio has excellent reception, and the variable bit rate voice recorder is very beneficial. I was tired of waiting for Apple to include these functionalities in their IPOD, and when I came across the IAudio, I absolutely fell in love with it. This is a great product and is highly recommended.

Summary: Wish it would have worked
Review: I have Windows XP and I use the USB port for many devices (digi camera, printer, other audio device). This MP3 Player is advertised as XP compatable. It comes with a dedicated USB cable, and an explorer type program "Jetshell". I never could get XP or its own program "Jetshell" to recognize the device. I exchanged the MP3 player for a another new one thinking the one I had was defective. I had the same problem with the new one. I spent a lot of time with customer/tech support to no avail. (I noticed on their support forum other customers with the same problem, but no solution offered) I finally gave up and returned the unit. Too bad, it was a small, compact and attractive device. Wished it would have functioned.

Summary: Don't be an IPod sheep
Review: I was torn between the IRiver, IPod and the IAudio. The IRiver was about to go out of production and was just a bit too big so no thanks. I read sooo many reviews and came to one simple conclusion. People who buy the IPods are sheeps - Baaaah! Loads of people slated this product who hadn't even used it and they all seemed to be IPod owners - Heeelllloooo! I admit the IPod looks cool but that's about it - For the record I think the IAudio looks better!
I purchased the IAudio M3 and haven't looked back. With a pair of decent Sony headphones the sound quility is quite amazing! You get all the equipment in the box including 2 docking units, remote control and carry case. It is plug and play on any PC with Win ME plus so no need for drivers - simply drag and drop the MP3's (or any other files). Also records and has a radio....need I go on?
Don't be duped into an IPod just cos everyone else has!
Only small downfall is no screen on main unit - a very small issue.

Summary: appreciated by an ex ipod user
Review: If you are a person that is not technically inclined and is incapable of reading a manual I might recommend the iPod. However, taking the minutely more confusing path pays off exponentially. The features offered by the m3 are far more powerful and useful than those of the iPod.
Before buying the unit you might want to get familiar with possible problems, resolutions and features over at iaudio.com.
A friend of mine uses the iRiver. The most significant difference I can find between them is the fact that the iAudio has no primary screen on the unit and looks much nicer. I am quite happy having made the change to a unit that is not a cliche status symbol (as is the iPod); the iAudio M3 is cool on its own merits not because "everybody else is doing it".
One quick reminder: update the firmware straight out of the box (if this sounds hard, don't worry; it's not)

Summary: Amazing!
Review: it is really tiny and ultra slim. Amazing! Great sound quality, ton of features such as fm, recording, inline recording¡¦ you name whatever you want, , and basically, everything I need. Why people like iPod? I really don¡¯t understand. Once you use this great gadget, you¡¯ll never go back to iPod.One thing it missed is display. But once you are familiar with the main body and know all the control, you don¡¯t need to see the display anymore. It will be attached in your hand. And you are feeling everything inside your hand. you will not even think about other MP3 players. The great BBE sound also makes your ears perfect!
