    iRiver H320 - Conclusion


    (Page 7 of 7 )

    This is a great player, but it has a few problems. iRiver packed many features into the H320. The H320 can do more than just play music. It has built in radio, voice recorder, and text. While all these features work great, the overall software is lacking. Scrolling through an entire library of music becomes a tedious task. Getting to know how to access everything requires that the user thoroughly read the manual, and even then you will need to play around with it. My only other complaint is the current firmware. This lacks many of the great features offered in other countries, which would place the H320 in a category of its own. Overall I really liked this player; the positives overwhelm the few negatives of this player. 

    Pro

    • Music, pictures, recording, and text modes all work great
    • Packed with many features
    • Colored screen
    • Part of PlayforSure
    • Upgradeable Firmware
    • Good battery life  

    Con

    • PlayforSure, not quite for sure
    • Navigation confusing
    • Missing possible features (U.S. version only)
