iRiver Slim-X washes away the competition

by yusakugo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Apr 11 '02
Pros: Thin, sound, rechargable batteries, Good FM reception, features, anti-skip, MORE!
Cons: Lose the remote... uh oh! Very basic function only on main unit. Minor gripes.
Slobber...

That's likely the first reaction you'll have when you see the Slim-X from iRiver. Looking at my RioVolt (the current SP100 model) and my brother's TDK Mojo, the Slim-X already looked much cooler than those two. My oh my... how the...

iRiver SlimX CD & MP3 player - A solid workhorse gracefully going out to pasture

by jkafer Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jan 02 '06
Pros: excellent features, MP3 and WMA support, lots of hardware goodies, fantastic battery life
Cons: No DRM support, outdated storage method.
Before the days of inexpensive hard drive based MP3 players, there was a line of MP3 players that were CD based. Since was the far more economical way of storing music because of instead of paying $500 for a gig, I could pay half that for roughly 700 ...

Pros: Compact, lots of features, well engineered, well made.
Cons: None
I have finally decided to retire the poorly engineered and made D-Link roq-it MP3 jukebox. This piece of junk could not keep playing music even when I was hiking.

The replacement selection was not easy, I had to select from a variety of hard...

iRiver SlimX- Now This Is What You Call A Potable CD Player!

by nailet , Apr 29 '03
Pros: Great Design, CD/MP3 Windows Media player, skip control, light weight, battery life, much more!
Cons: Cheap lid, CD controls, ear phones.
I am no portable CD player novice, and I was very picky about what I wanted when I was looking for my new portable CD player. Each time I thought I found what I wanted, it turned out to be missing something. I wanted CD/MP3 capability, CD-RW readability,...

Pros: Remote very useful and LCD is backlit. Remote has many options. Slim unit. Rechargeable batteries.
Cons: Headphones inlcuded are not very good. Sound quality could be better.
One day I was looking through my collection of mp3s and I thought, wow I really need a mp3 player of some sort. I have always liked the MP3/CD player concept, so I looked into those. At one point, I stumbled across the CD player I am going to review...

It's not for everyone; is it for you?

by mr_chupon99 , Sep 26 '02
Pros: Features galore, well built, price, user support
Cons: Uses CDs, needs all metal frame, the "toilet" faceplate design.
First off, finding iRiver products is very difficult in North America. Especially if you don't feel like going through online sources - honestly, online shopping sucks for those of us who wants the product NOW. For those of you in the Greater Toronto...

Cons: Not recommended for people who run a lot.
WARNING: The following paragraphs might take a while to read. However, they are essential to fully understand the reason why I had to send back my Slim X. Read on if you don’t find in boring. But if you do, skip it and read the features.

The ONLY choice

by timpicks , May 29 '02
Pros: Does everything AS ADVERTISED, without fail. And it's firmware upgradeable!
Cons: The window of my remote got scratched, which was my fault. Otherwise, flawless.
I've owned my SlimX iMP-350 for over a month, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I rarely splurge on toys that I'm not sure I'll use often enough, but since owning this little gem, I'm listening to music all the time. In fact, I take it...

Good player but not Durable!

by liseey02 , Oct 31 '04
Pros: Great Remote. Rechargeable batteries, small size.
Cons: Not durable, skip protection could be better, takes a while to load.
I got this cd player about 2 years ago. I decided on a cd/mp3 player because I didnt want to spend the $500 on an ipod and I also liked the idea of not having a fixed amount of space for storing music. I researched the features I wanted and decided on ...
