I have owned my HP120 for about 3 weeks and although I have only used it to actually play music for half a dozen sessions (too busy recording stuff on to it at the moment) I have to say that whilst initially difficult to learn each of the remote button's 4-5 functions...I have got the hang of it. Being able to do EVERYTHING from the remote can only be a good thing....it will allow you to wrap the main unit in the safest case money can buy and protect it from harm permanently......per haps the only time you will ever see the unit is when you want to charge it up...such is the versatility of the remote. iRiver should be applauded for this.

With regard to the EQ setting being easy to change accidentally, yes I noticed that too.......it's a shame that iRiver didn't offer the same thing with the EQ settings menu page what they do with the shuffle/repeat settings menu.....namely that you can highlight which ones you want to appear everytime you press the relevant selection button. At the moment if you accidently knock the EQ changer you have to press it about 10 times to get back to the setting you had it on.....by implementing the same feature as the shuffle/repeat setting menu you could reduce this down to as few as 1 or 2 eq settings to toggle between.
