iriver iFP-895 MP3 player

Date Published: 1/7/08

The iriver iFP-895 is a great little MP3 player with a surprising amount of memory and some impressive built-in features.

The iFP-895's 512MB of internal Flash memory is compatible with MP3, WMA, and OGG music files, and it can also store just about any type of data file. In addition, it has an integrated FM tuner. The iFP-895 can record directly from its line input, and the built-in microphone is perfect for recording voice memos.

The iFP-895 will play for up to 40 hours with a single AA battery, and it comes with a neck strap, arm band, carrying case, and very good-sounding earphones. The unit has USB 2.0 and line inputs, and the package includes both USB and line-in cables, as well as software that is both Mac- and PC-compatible.

With a (relatively) large internal memory and a host of useful features, the diminutive iriver iFP-895 provides excellent bang for the buck.
