IRiver's SlimX for $189 shipped!

Hey, did a search on slimx, and nothing came up... but it's available now for $189 shipped at these two sites:

Computers4Sure
and
Aaxes.com

I've had it for a few days already, and I highly recommend it. For computers4sure, there is shipping if you're from CT and aaxes is in AZ... and since i'm in NY, i got it from computers4sure. I recall reading about the SlimX here on this site, but this is the lowest price I've seen it so far.

hope this helps somebody...
 
I have the SlimX. It's pretty sweet. But in all honesty, since I bought my 6 gig Nomad, I haven't used the SlimX once.
 
Hmm, I thought the retail price was $199... sweet... $189 is a pretty warm deal on such a nice CD player...

how does it handle things like VBR or directories or ID3tags, etc.etc.
 
it does everything!
vbr | multiple directories, sub directories, easy navigation | tags | too much for me to type.
it's the best mp3 cd i've ever used. more info here
 
It is the BEST MP3 CD player out right now, bar-none. However if you compare it with things out of its class, such as: NetMD, solid state mp3 players, or hard drive based mp3 players, there will be pros and cons. I bought it from aaxes.com for 194.50. They ship Airborne 2 Day, but it gets to you overnight most of the time. Aaxes.com is a great place to shop, computers4sure charges tax(Sales tax applies only to shipping addresses located in CA, CT, NC , and TN. ) , whereas aaxes.com only charges to arizona.
 
Anyone tell me how this player stacks up to pure MP3 player for workouts?

I need something that will work when I am in the gym. I am considering the iRiver because it's the best of the MP3/CD player and it has a FM tuner.

If not, any recommendations on MP3 players?
 
u plug the headphones into the LCD remote? or do u have to use that headphone?

and does it ever skip when playing mp3s?
 
u can plug ANY headphones into the player. in the remote, or plug it in the CD base.

i use this player in the gym all the time. its so light, u dont have to even hold it. i just let it dangle from the wire. its THAT light.

joggin will be a problem if u let it dangle like that. however, i just hold it in my hand. n everything is fine. putting it inside any side pocket will b problematic during jogging. walkin is fine, but joggin is just too much for the player when it tries to read.
 
If you guys go to the Iriver page there is a $20 rebate for everyone that bought the slimx. I am thinking about buying one right now...not sure where to get it from though.
 
I got this for $189 shipped from Amazon.com (199 - 10 coupon + free ship). Iriver just dropped the MSRP from 199 to 179. The $20 rebate is actually a coupon. 🙁

Wait a few days for the retailers to lower the price.

PS. I love mine. This thing is simply amazing.
 
can u use car kits on this thing?

*and can someone please pm me the coupon/rebate link? i cant find it on the page 😱

tha, where's the rebate? i can't find it anywhere on the site.

<edit>
Nevermind... found it...
For those of you that purchased the SlimX prior to April 15th, when they lowered the prices for it, here's a coupon good at only purchasing IRiver's stuff... like an extra set of batteries, AC adapter... etc.

ANYone got the purple edition? how would u go about getting the purple one?


yes, u can use car kits.
 
Luv2Liv - to clarify, you jog just fine with this player with it in your hand, it just wouldn't work in the pocket?
 
Heinrich- yes. joggin is fine as long as u hold it in hand. for walking, u can slip it inside your pockets, any pocket.

oh, dont try walkin or joggin on the beach with this thing!!!! i tripped on the wave, the thing died instantly upon the salty FL water.

n as i just found out, the purple edition is only available in asia, but they're planning to ship both colors here in usa.
