I shipped it back for replacement today and hope iRiver will fix bugs.
Sounds like the EU owners are happy, US undecided. I just want something to work reliably w/NTG, though the FM radio is nice (reception mediocre) and the little bugger is admittedly cute. No interest in the photo viewer. If the replacement dies too, I'll buy the cheap but homely Dell PocketDJ, which (supposedly) works with NTG. From postings elsewhere, the Zen Micro has bugs, and I don't want the Samsung media player, which looks nice but is too big (I don't watch video on teensy screens with my aging eyes) and costs $$$, and the Samsung YG 920 (I think that's the model number) seems to have disappeared from the market already after initial buz about being an iPod killer. Suicide bomber, maybe. The iPod of course won't work with NTG, though my daughter's 20G is certainly pretty.
So...if you just want an MP3 player, I liked the H10 a lot, and unprotected mp3 files transferred fine up until the bitter croaking end. I'll let you know how the replacement works with NTG after I get it in 2-3 weeks.


I live in US & I use n-t-g and wmp10. I've never had a problem with my h10, and the napster problem I ran into lasted 20 seconds and that was when I decided to just use wmp10 to sync instead of napster. I am amazed how great everything is working --reading the napster message boards it looks like some people are having problems with thier players, regardless of make-- probably the minority. I live in the us and my h10 never froze, never died, never didnt connect usb or not say ok to disconnect and all my playlists are doing fine thank you ! Sure i'll take a firmware upgrade.. Get on it iRiver, but I can honestly say that my H10 is a JOY to use at home, at work, walking about, on the comptuer on napter, etc etc.


I just want to put out there to people who may be freaking out about the H10 that some us players are working very well with wmp10 and napster to go.

great luck to all , regardless of what dap they choose!


Added: the first day I did have to figure out how the radio turns off, or get it to turn off . Now that isnt a problem. That and the playlist thing which I worked around and the bass which for some reason isnt bad on mine.
It may sound like a lot but these are not huge problems IMO and will be fixed eventually in a firmware . WHATEVER !!! LOL!!!!!!!!
