Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a tough reviewer and rarely give 5 stars, but this product earns it.
When I first opened the package and saw the Clix, I thought that it was too small.How can they put much into a small and light package like that?
Well, they definitely did.The interface is better than the iPod's.You push an edge of the screen to navigate and set options.It is very intuitive and I have done a lot without reading the manual.
The FM capabilities are amazing.The auto-tune to set the presets automatically picked up all the stations in my area perfectly -- no mistakes.I could then delete the ones I don't want.The high-resolution display does a great job of displaying all the presets with a verticle line and indicators where each station is.When reaching the highest setting, just push up again and it goes to the lowest, which is what one would want.ALL the stations in my area came in very clearly.
For Audible books it's great, and loading to the device doesn't require iTunes (desktop) which is inferior to Audible's [...] desktop program.With 4G of storage, I can put all of my audio books on it.
It works great as a MP3 player. The sound seems better than my 5G 80gig video iPod.
For me, I am going to use it for audio books and FM.I use the iPod for music because I can store 80gig on it.
I definitely recommend this product.

Product Description:
The iRiver Clix features an eye-catching, direct-click interface that makes it easy to fly through your media collection and find the right song, video, photo, or video game. The unit is centered around a vivid 2.2-inch color LCD display, which delivers remarkably clear 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution for watching videos and playing flash-based games. With support for MP3, WMA, ASF, Ogg, JPEG, MPEG-4, and Flash Lite 1.1 files, users can choose from a ton of other audio and video formats. The iRiver Clix even works with Windows Media Player 10 and its variety of affiliated online music stores and subscription services, including PlaysForSure services such as Napster and Rhapsody.
Measuring just 2.7 by 1.8 by 0.6 inches and weighing a mere 2.5 ounces, the Clix is about the size of a business card. But don't be fooled, as the unit features 4 GB of internal flash memory, which is capable of storing approximately 64 hours of CD-quality MP3 music (encoded at 128 kbps) or 128 hours of WMA tracks (at 64 kbps). The Clix also plays MPEG-4 Simple Profile (SP) files at a maximum of 384 kbps and 15 frames per second, with audio encoded in MP3 format. Should you need to convert other formats to MPEG-4, simply download the free iRiverter utility and you're set.
The display also doubles as the control interface, so you don't have to mess with any cumbersome buttons or controls. And unlike the touchscreens normally found on PDAs, the Clix's direct-click feature responds to gentle fingertip pressure, eliminating the need for pens or control keys.
Meanwhile, a built-in microphone makes the iRiver Clix an ultracompact dictation machine. The recording quality is freely selectable and is controlled automatically. And listeners who hate to miss their favorite public radio program will dig the built-in FM tuner. Finally, the unit comes with several free Flash Lite games, including Launch Fighters (a Space Invaders remake, Log Jam, Barn Baron, and Sudoku.
Audio-wise, the Clix offers 10 EQ settings along, a user-defined EQ option, and SRS WOW virtual surround sound, which creates a 3-D soundscape and a superior bass performance. In addition, the Clix, which is compatible with Windows XP operating systems (SP1), sports a fast USB 2.0 interface for speedy file transfers. The device comes with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery that delivers up to 25 hours of battery life per charge and is backed by a one-year warranty.
