Amazon.com Product Description
The innovative iMP-50 comes stacked to the gills with features like broad format compatibility, pre-buffering anti-skip protection, firmware upgradeability, a graphic LCD with multi-language display, and packet-write format readability so the player can double as a hard-drive extension (using data CD-RWs).

The player supports music CDs, home-made CD-R and CD-RW with MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio), multi-session discs (discs burned at different points over time), and Microsoft's Advanced Systems Format (ASF). New formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, and so on can be supported in the future through a simple firmware upgrade. The iMP-50 also supports Winamp playlists as long as they use the file extension *.m3u (maximum 20 lists).

The player gives you a healthy four minutes anti-skip protection for MP3 and WMA files. By applying iRiver's own special algorithm, the iMP-50 provides better performance against shock than standard anti-skip algorithms. At the same time, iRiver maximizes protection at the beginning of songs through pre-buffering.

The iMP-50's graphic LCD that supports multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, other alphabet-oriented fonts, Korean, Japanese (Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji), and others. It supports a total of 36 languages.

With MP3 and WMA files, the iMP-50 can play for 16 hours on two AA alkaline batteries (supplied) or seven hours with audio CD playback. Additional formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, and so on may be supported in the future through a simple firmware upgrade.

Eight equalizer presets, a custom EQ mode, and separate electronic bass and treble controls are all at your disposal when it comes to tailoring the sound to your taste or compensating for speakers, headphones, or listening environment. A hold switch prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. Other features include repeat and shuffle play, resume, bookmarking, sound fade in, intro scan, and track programming.

4 out of 5 stars Served me well.......2007-05-08

I receieved this as a gift, and it was very helpful in cleaning out my PC of all the photos and video files that were eating up space in my hard drive. The portablility is great, because it so small, and does not take up any space at all.

I came back to purchase another one, since I've already used up all the space on this 120GB capacity, and the only reason I may get something else this time is because this portable version does not come in higher capacity. I have 4 PC's and I need more than 120GB to back up all my data.

Otherwise, it worked perfectly and conveniently for my personal and business use.

NOT WORTH IT!! The data transfer is fast, but you cannot shut it down & disconnect.

Also: they have ROTTEN CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! I called customer service & the only thing the tech could recommend was that I SHUT DOWN MY COMPUTER EVERY TIME I want to disconnect. Then he hung up on me as I tried to ask him another question!

Don;t bother with SimpleTech. The SmartDisk Firelite is cheaper (~20.00 cheaper) & works much better!
