iAudio

[niall1000]

ok i recently asked about the iriver h10 20gb mp3 player in a local shop only to be told that they've been called back due to faults!!

Shocked, i was then told an alternative would be the 'iaudio' 20/30gb player, apparently the best around.

First off does anyone know if its actually that good? and secondly does it use itunes? im not fully accepting of that program and its damaging ways to your music files!

any help would be appreciated!

I'm amazed the iRivers have had problems...they're renowned for being ultra-reliable. The only players that need iTunes as standard are iPods, the majority of other players (including iAudio) use Windows based drag & drop, or their own software. I agree with you about iTunes, I really don't like that software.
I'm told the iAudio's are quite good, maybe these will be of use to you...
