Nifty little gadget..

Deng deng deng deng.. Ouch! The review came after a month long’s delay.. haha..

Ok here goes:



Name
Iriver T30 512MB

Outlook
Very sleek and small.. It is 60mm wide by 30.4 mm thick by 22.1mm high and weighs just 27 grams (without the battery). It's small size and light weight means it can be brought to anywhere without being noticed! (which can be a good or bad things since if it's so unnoticeable, it can get stolen easily? haha) The screen backlight is blue in colour as can be seen from the screen. The player runs on 1AAA size battery and the manufacturer claims it can last up to 20hrs.. but usually wat they say will not be accurate.. haha.. The player can read ID3 tags from mp3 files thus enable it to display song titles and artist names encoded into the song. However, if the player menu language is set to English, it can’t display Chinese words properly. Phew, luckily it has a Chinese language option and so, Chinese songs titles are displayed properly nicely.. and the font is very nice too.. ;)

Functions
Well, the player’s main function is to play songs? (duh!) The device supports MPEG 1/2/2.5 layer 3 (MP3), WMA, OGG, and ASF files. It also can be used to record audio.. it will support approximately 36 hours of recording.. other functions include shuffle play and repeat function. You can have the player play a single song, play all songs on the T30, play all songs in only a particular folder, and you can have it repeat within each of these options. You can even set marker points within a single song and repeat between the marker positions! Certain models has got FM radio but is missing from mine..

Audio Quality
The player does comes with a lot of preset equalizers but the one that’s the main spotlight – SRS WOW.. when using this equalizer, the sound is both clear and crisp.. but the main thing is the bass.. deep and tight bass are all very well produced.. but of course, you cant be comparing this with more expensive models (ipods, highly end irivers) but for RM100++, this is well worth the price! Also, the included headphone is an OEM Sennheiser MX300 (branded and high quality earphones) if not mistaken, which means another super added bonus to the package!



Alright, time to upload more songs and have a great music listening session ;)
