(Previously the conversion was done transparently as you copied the files to the desktop using the iRiver manager software.) <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Craig Also, if you’re doing any line/mic-in recording you are still required to use iRiver’s properietary software to convert the internal .rec format to .mp3 once you transfer the files to the desktop.

iRiver has released UMS drivers for their iFP-7xx series. Ok, this happened a few weeks back but I only found out thanks to this article on geeknewscentral. This came as a small shock because I’ve ordered an iAudio G3 just yesterday which is much more…

Namely, the maximum MP3 recording quality for line/mic-in recordings has been lowered from 320Kbps to 96Kbps. If you're using your iFP to record podcasts (as I am) then suddenly there is much less joy in Mudville. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Craig Actually, this only seems like a smart move until you look at the other changes iRiver has made in this “upgrade.” Namely, the maximum MP3 recording quality for line/mic-in recordings has been lowered from 320Kbps to 96Kbps.

I can certainly vouch for it being far more preferable than using proprietary software. Just to clarify; the iRiver series H100 and series H300 players have always been USB Mass Storage Devices.
