Summary: I am returning this piece of JUNK!...
Review: I bought 2 IJAM 100 MP3 players at a boxing day sale (12/2001), spent 15 hours TRYING to get them to work, and they are flaky, half baked products. DO NOT BUY!!! Why?
IJ-100 CRASHES if you have ID3 tags on your MP3s
IJ-100 CRASHES if you look at it the wrong way
IJ-100 CRASHES if you strip ID 3 tags, test individual files, and then load more than 3 file on the MMC card.
IJ-100 CRASHES if you use WINDOWS EXPLORER to transfer the files to the MMC instead of MusicMatch
IJ-100 Documentation/manuals [are bad].
IJ-100 DISTORTS HORRIBLY (Clicks, grunge, AM, etc) if the MP3 files are loud (higher volume during encoding)
IF you actually get it to work for a track, the audio quality is MEDIOCRE.
FM in unit is useless, very noisy, incapable of holding a station with any quality audio maintained

...DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Summary: REALLY BAD!
Review: I got this mp3 player about a year ago. It was good at the time, but you could fit barely 3 songs on a disk. Now I have Windows xp and it is useless becaus efor some stupid reason they decided not to make drivers for xp. So now it is useless and i can't use it. I would definately not suggest buying this, go for a better one that you can actually use.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best I spent.
Review: I-Jam is small, light and cute. The blue one got a transparent case which you can see the ic board. If you compress the MP3 songs to 48kB HQ, you can get 10 songs into each 16MB disc. In addition, you can use the Multimedia disks as portable memory for your data.

Summary: I-Jam not be jammin'
Review: I-Jam started off to be a pretty cool little MP-3 player when I bought it a year ago. Last year I was thinking that MMC was going to take off and everyone would have 256mb MMC cards for $50 by now. Well, guess what!??! MMC didn't take off. You are lucky if you can find a 64mb MMC at a reasonable price. But oh wait - there's more. It seems with all the popular media formats (MP3, WMA, etc), the I-Jam isn't so flexible about reading. Now I can't even get three songs to play consistently on this beautiful red player. So now I am shopping for another mp3 player. On the bright side, it is small and the FM tuner works awesome! Three presets isn't enough, but still good enough to make it useful as something more than a small anchor for my aquarium.

Summary: Dont buy an mp3 player!
Review: If you are rich as hell, go ahead and buy it. But for the price your paying for this, you could get a great Mini Disk player, and even plenty of discs for over 2,000 minutes of recording time. Dont believe me? Goto the Mini Disc section and do the math! Even better, you can record mp3's onto the MiniDisk players, you can also record your voice, your playstation/N64/Dreamcast, VCR, TV, Radio, Tape, everything! I almost bought an mp3 player, and im glad i didn't. MP3's are too expensive compared to Mini-Disks, and if you look at the Mini Disk trend right now, its exactly like the CD trend 10 years ago. They are already making Mini Disk drives fro computers to store info. Just check out the Mini Disks before you buy this, trust me, you'll thank me. If you have any questions, email me, Ill answer them asap!

Summary: An OK mp3 player - but not for this price
Review: The downside - the 16mb cards store next to nothing, and the coveted 64MB MultiMedia card will cost more than 2x the price of your player! Bottom line: can be gotten cheap, but expect to pay an arm and a leg for memory if you wish to olay more than 3 mp3 songs/16MB card. I would wait until Sensory Science Rave 2300 (with great cheap 40mb memory modules) drops down to reasonable price range.

Summary: Great for working out!
Review: The I-Jam is a cute, compact, light and an overall great MP3 player. I workout a lot and find it MUCH easier to clip this on my hip than a cumbersome tape player. The sound is excellent and it's extremely easy to set up and download music. The negative aspects of the I-Jam is that it comes with (2)16MB multimedia cards. They can only hold about 4 songs each and it's difficult to change the cards while working out. You can purchase 32MB multimedia cards (...) which allows you to record about 8-9 songs. It would be much better if the company added a 32MB card instead of the (2) 16MB cards. Overall for the price, weight, clarity, and size you can't beat it!
