- no Radio Name Function

UMS [MOD (look iFP700-1000 Forum)]
+ use Player as normal Mass storage Device
+ OGG Vorbis from 60 - 230kBit
+/- Records up to 128kBits (...without problems)
- no Radio Name Function

Manager:
+ Records up to 320kBits
+ Chance to name your Radio Stations
- only Iriver Music Manager can transfer files (or total commander with PlugIn)
- MP3,OGG,WMA can't copy back to the PC!!! -> "Fileprotection" (only *.REC)

this have both Firmwares identical (UMS (original) + Manager):
+ nice sound quality!
+ MP3 up to 320kBits (;-p)
- OGG 92 - 230kBit
- WMA DRM is not supported
- slow Filetransfer (~ 1 - 1.5 MB/s)
