Advantages: Sleek, svelte design. Disadvantages: Battery life falls far short of the advertised 55 hours
I have owned my iMP 550 since shortly after it was released. I can't remember exactly when that was but it has been at least a year!
I love my CDplayer. It looks great and it does what I need it to do.
It has several awards including a CNET editors award:

Advantages: Slim and sexy, upgradeable, built-in FM radio, long battery life Disadvantages: High up-front cost
There is nothing that doesn't appeal about this CD-Digital audio player.
I say digital audio player, because it doesn't just play MP3's like most other CD players - due to the fact that you can upgrade the software which runs the device, it can play all the latest types of digital audio. There have been five such updates since I purchased this device, and the company promises that there are still plenty more to come.
I cannot rave about this device enough - when my last portable CD player got stolen, I wasn't very unhappy. There were so many things I didn't like about it, in a way I was kinda glad that I could get a new one. So after a month of painstaking searching, I finally came across this marvellous device from iRiver. I had never heard of the company before, but after a bit of surfing, found that people in their home country ...
