Cheap places to get iRiver iFPs (aka Welcome Long John iVer)

hack your iriver: for iRiver IFP-7xx/8xx owners

There’s a modified (ie unofficial) firmware that will allow uncrippled recording on the iRiver iFP7xx and iFP8xx series and works as UMS – ie. a proper flash drive, it appears as a hard-drive on your computer.
(Misticriver is a great unofficial support site for iRiver products btw)

Not tried it yet but will do shortly…note there are reported probs with recording higher than 128kbs-160Kbs but better than a kick in the mouth (ie. 96kbs). Remember it formats your iRiver so back everything up.

Hopefully this will shame iRiver into doing something? I notice with disappointment that the newer Flash drives like the T20 don’t seem to use drivers or the IMS but still record line-in. Hmmph.
