Review: iRiver SlimX IMP-350 Portable CD / MP3 Music Player
Znews.com --
Portable CD / MP3 players allow you to listen to MP3s that you burn onto a CD, so you can compile your own CD of about 150 songs, and you're ready to go.
Just put the player in your bag or pocket, and with the ultra-slim iRiver SlimX IMP-350 you can then control and view the entire play list with one of its best features -- the excellent remote control device (included). When you turn off the player, then turn in back on, the music fades in where you left off. Though you may not have heard of the company (yet), iRiver has made some of the best portable CD / MP3 players, produced under the RioVolt and AVC Soul Player names.
The iRiver SlimX IMP-350 has excellent sound quality, and comes with a very good set up earbuds. The unit is ultra-slim (just 16.7mm), very light, and beautifully designed. Another nice feature of this player is that it's firmware upgradeable, so you upgrade at the iRiver website as new features become available (such as viewable lyrics or better shock protection). The included FM radio is a nice addition that many other CD / MP3 Players don't have, and reception is very good.
