Performance

iRiver iGP-100 (1.5GB)

Sturdy design; wealth of playback options; FM tuner.

Unintuitive interface; has a lower capacity than some microdrive players; doesn't play purchased WMA or AAC files.

This tough microdrive player has a lot of selling points but holds only 1.5GB.

1.5 GB + FM radio & great sound for under $200

I bought this product brand new on eBay for $182, plus $8 in shipping for a grand total of $190, making this device one of the best sub-$200 mp3 players that I have seen or used. I did a lot of research both online and in stores while looking for a ...

Sound quality, storage space (1.5g), equalizer settings, strong FM tuner, "leather" carrying case

No voice recorder, sports armband, small learning curve for controls, no protected WMA support

Look elsewhere and Save your money

I purchased the iRiver IFP-390T last year and was blown away by the sound, features and ease of use. The only thing lacking was more memory. Then I saw the IGP-100, and based on my positive experience with the other iRiver product, I bought it because ...

Best Deal for an Ogg-Aware Player

I picked up this player at Best Buy for $150 (after rebate) after doing research on Ogg Vorbis-aware players. Vorbis sounds much better than MP3 or WMA, and my entire CD collection is ripped as Vorbis files so I wanted a player capable of playing them ...

Plays Ogg Vorbis files, sounds great, good user interface, nice accessories included

Battery is not replaceable
