What could possibly be worse than buying a product and missing the fine print about requirements? That it isn’t a speed requirement, but an OS requirement.
Bought my boys each an MP3 player. Chose not to go with an Ipod.
We get up Christmas morning, and they see they each have a 512M MP3 player and are geeked!
The problems start when we try to fire this pig up. Great, they system requirements are incompatable with my boys PC. Too slow? Not enough memory? Not enough free disk space? WRONG. It HAS to have WinXPsp1 or higher. What crap is this? And what in the world would have ever made me think for a second that this piece of crap would not run as a simple USB flash drive?
Will I EVER again purchace anything from http://www.iriveramerica.com ? You can bet your LIFE I will not, and I will strongly recommend against it to anyone I see.
Got the T30 model.
What are you thinking iRiver? Locking yourself to an operating system?
Now I get to look for a hack to get this friggen pig to work on win2k or setup a XP partition just so we can do mp3’s.
I wonder if linux would work with this? Have been meaning to setup a linux desktop at home after the holidays, and if it will work for these devices then that would be all the kick in the a$$ I need!
Well, off to research what it will take to get these going. Anyone got any ideas?
