iRiver today announced the unveiling of its iFP-700 and iFP-800 series flash-memory music players.
As the latest addition to iRiver’s successful line of award-winning portable audio devices, the new flash-based music players combine a sleek, sport-ready design with many advanced features such as USB 2.0*, integrated voice recorder, programmable FM recorder, up to 1GB of internal memory and the ability to record MP3s on the fly from any source.
The iFP-700 and iFP-800 series are available in four different capacities – 128MB**, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB – and play up to 40 hours of music on a single AA. The new line also comes with accessories for an active lifestyle including a sport armband, neck strap, carrying case and line-in encoding cable. In addition to playing MP3, OGG, ASF, WMA and WMA-DRM music files the iFP-700 and iFP-800 series are compatible with online music services that use Windows Media DRM technology.
The flash-memory music players offer customers real-time MP3 encoding from a variety of sources, including home audio systems and handheld CD players. The fully Windows and Macintosh compatible iFP-700 and iFP-800 series allow customers to store or transfer files of any type and adding or deleting files is fast and intuitive. Connect the player to the PC using its USB cable, click on the music player icon and drag files into or out of the folder.
