@WillyPao: ok...i think you have the first original FW on your iFP
(this one is a bit buggy)
by UMS: if you want to Play OGG Vorbis Files
less than 90kBit and record up to 128kBit/s -> use the MOD!
if you
only want to use the iFP like an USB-Stick -> the latest UMS FW should be yours
(i think it v 1.85)

you mean the transfer speed from PC to iFP? yeah...it's not really fast.
i think the iRiver Firmware controlls the Databus between PC and his Flash Memory...and there is some speed gone (because of controling the data)
[good example: connect your iFP to the PC...remove the Battery and the USB-Connection is gone...iFP must have a full Battery to transfer/read Data from it]
