Grate product

So I did my fair share of time researching my next mp3 player. It was between a Ipod or the little marvel. Looking at overall features, right out of the box and set up andease, was something that I did. The clix took the cake once all was said and done. I mean it doesn't get much better than this little media player. The only thing that I did find negative was the front of the screen. It smudges with finger prints just like the sony psp. I easily fixed that by putting a screen protector over it and problem solved. If you looking for a grate product and works with windows media player then you found it. I just can't see myself selling my soul to the apple ipod trend. Iriver came out with a grate product and one very satiated customer.

Great MP3 Player

This is my first MP3 player. I like it for its small size, ease of use and many features (like FM radio and recorder). I have shown my iRiver Clix to ipod users and they all have been very impressed with it. I decided to go with the iRiver Clix because it supports the ogg file format. The one negative I have is that the Clix is set up to work with MS Windows Media Player. It took some effort to get WMP to recognize ogg files (a registry change was needed). However, after that bit of effort, I now am able to use my ogg files with meta tag data and album art. There is a guide on misticriver.net that will walk you through this process. Now that I can use my ogg files, I am very happy!

nice to have

the clix is one of the best looking mp3/video player i owned. very intuitive menu system and great sound and video quality but when it comes to synching podcasts look elsewhere, ie: ipod.
It also suffers from a battery charging issue. It looses charge very quickly even if not used and will not vharge unless it is totaly discharged.
Their customer support is not responsive to be polite. Mine got broken and I tried calling them several times but other then a very annoying recording wasn't able to get anybody to answer. after 2 emails and a week i finally got an email back saying my broken clix is not covered under warranty. they didn't even offer to fix it for a cost.
In summary, i liked the clix but after my experience i will not be getting a new one.
