I have the iRiver iFP-390 and love it. iRiver just released their UMS firmware for it that supports ogg (as well as mp3) and it works great. There is also a project to allow you to upload/download to their non-UMS firmware, but it's pretty bleading-edge. As far as the iFP-390 goes, it rocks. It has 256Meg, runs off one AA, and last longer than I can count. I run with it and it's light enough to forget about. Plus I can drop it and it usually gets caught by the headphone cord before it hits the ground. My only two complaints is it is only USB1.1, which makes loading a little slow, and I wish it had a little more memory. I should have went with the iFP-395, which has 512Megs. Oh well. -- Clay On Sun, 05 Sep 2004, Ian Stoner wrote: > I would like to get an 128 or 256 MB mp3 player to take along while > running or engaging in other forms of monotonous physical activity.
