iRiver Clix 2 GB > Reviews (5)

This review is based on an imported US Clix 2GB
If you are looking for a small sized mp3 player, but aren't too bothered about having lots of space and maybe want to run with it , you should definitely consider this lovely little player.

It has a 2.2 inch display, which is very bright, clear and crisp. The menus are very intuitive and this player works great with Windows Media Player 11. The sound is also very good definitely better than an ipod nanos. The recording features are also very good, with a mic installed, and FM and line in recording capabilites are present (the FM quality and reception i found is great. Another great feature is its ability to play Flash Lite Apps and you can download these games for free on the internet (which are pretty good themselves). It also works fine when running with due to its flash based drive, and since it is a popular alternative to the ipod, many accesories are available to buy.

The Video playback is not great though, as playback is limited to 15 fps whereas with the new clix (clix 2) videos can be played to 30 fps. Many video formats are supported, including divx and xvid (using the supplied software), but I feel that video playback is a bit of gimmick since there isn't much space anyway and the screen is too small.

Overall this is a great mp3 player, packed with many features a similar priced ipod nano doesn't have, and it is definitely way better. If you aren't too bothered about video playback and size (anyway a 4GB version is available) this is one of the best flash players out there, but if you want more size I recommend you wait for a Clix 2 8GB version.
