Advantages: Great sound quality and compatibility, huge storage capacity/use as portable hard-drive

Disadvantages: Limited features, cheap bundled headphones, bulky and heavy

I have owned this player for many, many years now (I believe it was known as the iHP120 back when I bought it). It really is a quality player. It has a robust metal casing housing a 20GB hard-drive. That is plenty of storage to fit most people's music collection. It also couples as a great portable hard-disk drive. I don't actually use mine for playing music anymore (as I bought a iRiver Clix 2) but I find it extremely useful as extra storage (for example, when I reformat my computer or move a large file between machines).

The music quality is excellent as it appears to be with all iRivers. You'll need some better headphones to appreciate it as only cheap ones are provided. Sound file compatibility is also excellent. There aren't many other worthwhile features as it is quite and old model. Also, the player is a little on the chunky side (in terms of both size and weight) by todays standards.

However, if you're simply looking for a great sounding player with a big storage capacity then this could be the player for you (assuming you can find it really cheap second hand somewhere). It's like and MP3 player and portable hard-disk drive rolled into one.

Summary: A quality player producing great sound, if you can get one cheap don't hesitate
