Summary: This thing sucks
Review: If your looking for a good product, you are at the right site, BUT NOT THE RIGHT PRODUCT. The instructions are hi tech chinese, it will barely play mp3 cds, and the quality, even with normal cds, is terrible, the headphones are the worst peace of crap i have ever seen, the cable is to short, they have a statick in the background and the base is very low. I am very dissapointed with the product.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: I bought this player for use mainly in my car, so I was not overly concerned about the short battery time. What I did NOT expect, however, was what I got: a player that mysteriously stops playing in the middle of songs, sometimes to resume seconds later, and sometimes not resuming at all. This seems to happen with 2 or 3 songs on every CD, although it's not consistent (my CD player and PC play them fine). Also, it skips when playing in my car unless laid flat. I greatly regret returning the Phillips CD/MP3 player in exchange for this one; the car cassette adapter in that squeaked a bit, and the player didn't support WMA files, but at least the thing played everything as it was supposed to. (By the way, I used the player on a plane recently, and discovered that all the comments about the dismal battery life are true).

Summary: Awful product. Awful customer service.
Review: Things the product description doesn't tell you:The disc loads through the BOTTOM of the player. Then you have to flip the player over to access the navigatorial buttons. Does not come with a car lighter adapter. I purchased one separately, only to find that the port is highly sensitive, and shuts off with the slightest jostle dislodging the connection. I obtained another adapter, and the same thing happened. Finally, this player [pulls out]the life out of batteries at an unacceptably fast rate. You'll maybe be able to listen to a 70 minute CD twice before it's time to change the batteries. I contacted customer service to return it, only to be told that I had to return it with its original packaging - which I had disposed of. I will never again purchase a product from "iRiver". I would rather sit in silence than give another penny to this company.

Summary: It is the best deal you can find now
Review: I have it for 2 months. It works great and play all kind
of cd and mp3. The battery life is good enough. The
headphone has good sound quality. My only complain is
that the left earbud can't fit my ear well. I can't complain
my ear to God neither my parents, hence I give it a 4-stars.

Summary: The IMP-50 isn't quiet so nifty
Review: To say I'm disappointed and quiet dismayed is an understatement. I was hoping for good things with the "iRiver IMP 50," but this isn't the case now.
It wouldn't initialize when I turned it on. The player read neither regular audio cds or mp3s. It did, however, make a disturbing knocking sound when it tried to read new media and powered off when it couldn't."iRiver" is suppose to be top of the line w/ it's players, but this particular model leaves a lot to be desired. I dunno, maybe I got a lemon. For 10 dollars more, I may consider the "IMP 150" and hope I have better luck w/ that. The reviews on it would seem to concur.

Summary: Good player, good price
Review: I have had one of these for a few weeks now and I am impressed. I took it on my last trip back east, I can't tell you how cool it was to press play and forget about changing CD's. Everyone around me was always digging through their entire collection looking for one song. I just sat there and listened.
What I like:
- Easy Navigation
- Plays all my MP3 and regualr CD's (Had problems with my last one only reading some MP3 discs).
- Plenty of battery life (AA, so I don't have to worry about bringing a charger with me) I have one and would recommend it to anyone, especially for the price!

Summary: Great Value CDMP3 Player
Review: I have heard of iRiver many times but I cannot afford a $200 deluxe MP3 player like these guys make. I found the iMP 50 and at $49 thought it was worth a try. I got the unit - it plays my entire CD collection - MP3, WMA, etc.. plus regular CDs. Its got great volume & bass, plus a nice menu. It also came with an adapter to play my MP3 collection over my car stero. I never knew that was possible ? For $50 its very sweet!!

Summary: PREMIUM and AFFORDABLE!!!
Review: This probably is the best kept secret in the world of affordable MP3 CD players. Iriver is known for making premium players and this one is both PREMIUM and AFFORDABLE. The sound quality is MUCH better then the competetion and I love the large LCD display. The battery life is also amazing so the cost of ownership is really low. It has car adapter too and it comes in very handy on long road trips, my car does not have an MP3 CD Player and this is a great way to listen to your music collection on the road. Very happy would recommend it without any reservations whatsoever.

Summary: Pretty Yet.....
Review: I want to keep this review as simple as possible. Besides all the pretty features as stated above says, there are a few things that may keep you away from this product: 1. Takes to long to load music cd's.
2. Annoying mechanical noise.
3. Very short (30 mins) battery life.
4. Poor design. It would break easily. I recommend one looking for a cd player, look at the Sony Walkman products.
