Cheap plastic, sound is ok. Cons: Since I got it I have problem with connecting it (charging) with my PC. After 2 months of using SPINN stopped working, becauce there charging became impossible! Not WORTH BUYING at all. from Newegg.com Pros: Super compact for a medium sized video player (and v/light); awesome design and on-screen display style (though that's just my opinion); rockin battery life; UNEQUALED sound quality from Amazon.com Cheap plastic, sound is ok. Cons: After first four days, player refused to play Rhapsody content. Support was terrible - obviously Rhapsody's fault - until I was able to figure out myself that the ONLY way to recover was via the very-hard-to-find SPINN reformat. (Windows and Rhapsody reformats did NOT work.) It turns out the problem stems from the fact that, on my SPINN, the date resets to 2005 when the battery dies. from Newegg.com Superb Sound Quality. Very good build quality and finish. FLAC/APE support in UMS mode. Good compatibility with DRM. from Newegg.com Critical battery charging problem and very poor customer service My SPINN 4GB that I bought from Korea has very critical battery charging problem. After fully discharging SPINN I couldn't recharge it at all. from Amazon.com Good audio quality. Plays videos reasonably well for class of item. Book reading is extremely rudimentary (text only) but useful if your ebook is formatted well. Excellent battery life (12-15 hours mostly audio)Can connect as an external drive, so just copy files over and avoid using the invariably disastrous file management utilities that the manufacturers feel obliged to provide (see "cons" below) Cons: iRiver software (Plus 3) utter garbage - crashes all the time, messed up my codecs so normal videos did not play properly on Media Player. from Newegg.com However, Bluetooth functions poorly, interface is clunky at best, PC software is awful, touch screen works when it wants and it locks for no apparent reason - had to reset device a couple of times already. Device Software needs a lot of polishing. And last but not least iRiver's website is of no help at all. Other Thoughts: This could be a great mp3 player if iRiver takes the time to fix it pronto. from Newegg.com Critical battery charging problem and very poor customer service My SPINN 4GB that I bought from Korea has very critical battery charging problem. After fully discharging SPINN I couldn't recharge it at all. from Amazon.com Not sure if this is applicable to you, but you do know that Korea uses 220V AC compared to 110V AC in the USA, right? from Amazon.com Pros: Super compact for a medium sized video player (and v/light); awesome design and on-screen display style (though that's just my opinion); rockin battery life; UNEQUALED sound quality from Amazon.com
