Summary: Picky about my electronic toys, trust my review, BUY IT !
Review: This is my first mp3 player but definately the last in a long list of audio/electronic toys that I love to own. I made a survey before buying this player and price was an important factor for me (bought it for $$$ from Amazon), and now I'm writing this review while I'm listening to it, hope it would help someone out there. Now for the important part,
Pros:
1. Looks pretty cool with the dark blue/silver top.
2. Nice LCD (configurable contrast/clear fonts).
3. Excellent sound (pretty loud too, I'm a fan of loud music, had to turn it down on this one because my ears were hurting).
4. Almost every and each function/feature of this player can be customized to suit you.
5. Although I've been using it for the last hour or so, I tried shaking it pretty hard (even play it with the top facing down!)with the Enhanced Anti Skip mechanism turned on and it didn't skip once!! However, I personally intend to use it in the office environment.
6. Plays MP3/ASF/WMA/WinAmp playlists !!
7. Upgradeable firmware is a very powerful feature, as I know that modern electronics are NEVER 100% bug free.
8. Lots of modes for playing songs (shuffling & such and user equaliser features).Cons:
1. With Anti Skip turned on(for MP3 songs) it takes around ~ 7/8 seconds in between songs. With no anti skip takes no more than 2 seconds.
2. Body (plastic) doesn't seem to be that durable (if you want to keep the cool look you'll definately need to handle it with care such that it doesn't get scratched, I'd recommend a case for it).
3. To fully disable Anti Skip one has to use the "mode" button on the cd player and not the "mode" on the remote which I find stupid as they're supposed to be aliases.
4. A bit heavy with batteries too.
And of course the missing rechargeable batts & AC are a minus too however they were to be sacrificed for the price.
5. The finishing/glueing of the plastic casing/plastic segments (near the edges and curves) is NOT that perfect, I'd grade it as 70-80% of what it should be. All In all, I'm personally thinking of buying another one to use at home, now that I intend to keep this one at work.

Summary: Best Player Out There ...
Review: This is the 3rd MP3 player I've owned, and it is by far the best. I looked at several different MP3/CD players, and for the money this one can't be beat. Here's what I like about the iRiver IMP-150
- Easy Navigation
- Fantastic no skip system
- Superb sound
- Plays multiple formats
- "Cool" look and feel
- multi-function remote
- even the included earbuds are high quality Here's what could be improved
- the earbuds need a longer cord
- that's it Here's what not to believe
- The top of the player is flimsy. This is just not true. The top is thin, but certainly not flimsy. It feels sturdy as a rock to me.
- Low volume. I suppose the volume could go a little louder, but this is true for almost all portable devices
- Short battery life. It is true that the Panasonic may have a longer battery life, but if you use rechargeables, it shouldn't be any problem All in all, I highly recommend this player!!!

Summary: Solid product
Review: very good sound and very good design.
enough functions to play for a long time, at first appears a little complex to operate at full, but when you start results very easy to use. the remote control is one of the clever designed units I've ever seen, very intuitive, very easy to use, and can control all functions of the player.
a must have.

Summary: Quit after a week
Review: After reading some of the negative comments here and on eopinions, I almost didn't buy this player. I should have listened to the critics, this cheap thing quit working after one week of light use. I took very good care of it, I only used it to play MP3 CD's through my car stereo. It worked quite well at first, I was happy with it, but then it started skipping and pausing on my MP3 CD's. So, I tried a BRAND NEW audio CD and it did the same, skip, play, skip, pause, skip, play, stop. So, I upgraded the firmware and it only made it worse, afterwards it wouldn't play anything. It just sits there, spinning the CD, never playing a note. This is the second lousy CD/MP3 combo player I've bought, jeez, does anybody make a decent one of these?

Summary: best player for the money
Review: I love this cd/mp3 player, i take it everywhere with me. You can carry your entire cd collection around in one tiny cd wallet... it's great. And for the price, it is the best player out there.

Summary: Great Player
Review: Finally the MP3 Player I was always looking for:
Intuitive navigation through subdirectories, all necessary information on the display (scrolling could be a little faster), super sound quality, moderate power consumption, usefull remote, very fast disc access. Overall a very usefull and handy little toy!

Summary: BUY THIS PRODUCT
Review: I just got one of these two weeks ago, and it was the best [money] i spent. I wanted an MP3 player for my car, but was worried about cd's jogging. In MP3 and regular CD mode, this HASN'T SKIPPED ONCE. I have been driving my regular roads, with regular habbits, and nothing but crystal clear music. The only downside is that it doesn't come with the car tape adapter, but i got one from [a local store] Well worth the money, i highly recomend this product.

Summary: Good and Affordable CD Player
Review: I've had the Iriver CD player for a couple of months now. I think it works perfectly fine. You would have to buy rechargable batteries. It allows you to play a playlist. The remote is kinda (inexpensive), but it works fine. I'm really glad that I bought this player. You would have to change the headphones with your own since they gave a (inexpensive) one. The headphones that they gave is not as good as what you can listen to with other headphones. It can play Windows Media Player files and MP3. I really like the player. I sometimes wish I could get a bag to protect it because although it seems fragile, it is good quality.

Summary: Beautiful budget mp3 cd player
Review: I was skeptical of this product because of some of the poor reviews on the Internet. However, I bought it and think it's a great product for its price. There is lots of plastic and it's a little flimsy but great care should keep this product alive. Now I can have hundreds of songs on a cd-player with this device. It sounds great too! But it's noticably not so good as a cd player, I hope future formats like MP3 Pro or Ogg will improve the sound quality. As some many reviews on this site mentioned, I think rechargable batteries will make it complete. An AC adapter will be helpful too.
