iRiver Adds Ogg To Audio Player Firmware

Posted by simoniker on from the oi-oi-oi dept.

Sesse writes "iRiver has just released firmware updates for its iFP-300T and iFP-500T flash memory-based audio player series. According to a news story on their site, this update includes features 'supporting the Ogg file format', so it looks like iRiver can finally be added to the quickly growing list of Vorbis-capable hardware!"

    ..except for one fact. I've already got my heart set on a mini ipod. Can anyone compare the pro/cons of the iPod and the iRiver players?

    I have an iRiver 180T and I love it. The battery life is exceptional and the earphones are the best in the market. The player does have its faults but would I buy a player from iRiver again? Absolutely. They know what they are doing, well at least their engineers do.

    I'd recommend that you try the product before you bash it...basic logic dictates that you do this other wise you'd be committing a fallacy.

    Your logic is flawed even if you have a Ph. D.
