great deal for a great cd/mp3 player...
most importantly, no rebate... got mine for $109 around november and couldn't be happier. fits close to 200 songs per 700meg cd-r best thing when one can't afford an ipod.
bump for anyone that doesn't have it yet.

how well does this player browse through a cd?

and how well does the battery life hold out?

Is it well constructed?

Sorry for the questions but i wanted to know.

Imaginer, the buttons aren't very intuitive, but the controls overall are good once you get used to them. I can't comment on the battery life since I usually use it in my car plugged into the lighter. IMO, the construction is very nice, and the form factor is great. If you don't have the $$$ to spend on something like an iPod, this is a VERY good player. It's significantly above those cheap $30 CD-MP3 players in many aspects.

Also, when browsing through mp3s, I am guessing it lists it by the id3 tags, can it list it by filename as well?

I just might get one myself.

for those who have it, will this model decode chinese ID3 tags (big5)?? they amazon page says the 400 model does, but doesn't mention it for this model. thanks

 

[deejayshakur]

never mind...

"Q. Do the iMP series CD players support Chinese?

A. There are two types of iMP players. Type 1 does not support the Chinese language. In the U.S. and Canada, only Type 1 is sold. Type 2 supports the Chinese language, and Type 2 is sold from the Hong Kong office. If you are interested in purchasing the Type 2 iMP player, you can contact cs@iriver.com "

$89,94 shipped, great deal, thanks!

<edit: removed coupon code after checking forum rules, oops. There is a $10 off $75 coupon available though>

About a month ago, they had $30 rebate which brought this baby down to $59 and some people had it in their gold box which saved another $13. I was able to get it for $59
