iriver Clix Rhapsody 4 GB Digital Music and Video Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Player that has it all.This player does more that most any other.MP3, WMA music files I can drag and drop AND use Windows Media player AND use Rhapsody for subscription music (Napster subscription service works too, but doesn't have Rhapsody's awesome channels, which are like having a personal DJ)Just about any other music service out there will work, and you can still rip and copy your own files.

But wait, I'm just getting started.This thing plays videos on it's beautiful QVGA screen.If you think you can't stand a tiny screen, you haven't seen the Clix's OLED display.It's crisp, bright and easy on the eyes.Some of these small screens show pixels and ghost images, not so with the Clix2.I can watch for hours and not mind at all.

Okay, I'm not even close to done yet.We also have Audible capabilities.Audible is a great audiobook service that gets all the latest audiobooks and makes them available for download, these transfer over to the Clix2 in a snap and provide hours and hours of enjoyment for everyone who likes books but has trouble finding the time to read.

Want more?Sure!The built in FM radio is easy to use and picks up more stations than any of my portable players, it has something like 20 presets and will set them all in no time.

What's the catch? you must be thinking.Don't ask me, I'm still looking for one.Good volume output with buds or full size headphones, great equalizer presets, a manual EQ and SRS WOW magic stuff that makes headphones and speakers sound like they cost a bundle of cash.

Oh, wait!You want more?Really?OK, Clix delivers.You can look at pictures, browse through or see an automatic slide show (while listening to your tunes, of course)and if you got some time to kill, it comes with 4 great flash games you can play.If you look around you can find more on the web.

So, I must say that I'm really pleased with the HUGE array of features, the sound quality and overall operation of this player.It has NO equals in it's category.
