I got it online because it doesn't sell in Aussie, had it since December (Boxing Day) 2007. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
Video-Amazing, I haev videos ripped from Youtube adn they come out crisp and perfect
Music-Speechless, it is awesome

By the way DO NOT FORMAT IT!!
I got it and stupidly formatted it which deletes EVERYTHING! So here I am with this player that has nothing on it, games, thmese wallpapers and I am panicking and nearly in tears.

But don't worry, even if you do format it, it still will work, you just lose everything that was put on it lol.

Pros: Everyhting, by the way if your worried about the space of the device, don't be. I have around 30 albums on it and it is only 53% full, with 30 photos and 4 vidoe clips.

Cons: For some reason, everytime I load a lot of albums or get to about 60% full on the player it runs slow, but I think it may just be me.
-No warning before formatting

Pros: Fantastic looking little unit

Cons: no SD slot, D*click not super sensitive.

Very very good piece of technology. The Iriver Clix 2 is definitely a product worthy of praise and will be a great addition to any music and/or video lover ( i know it will be for me).

Pros: Elegant menus, intuitive design and high definition sound & screen quality all wrapped up in a seductively sexy exterior

Cons: -No SD/Flash card slot
-Screen seems as if breaking from player, but isn't.

      The iRiver Lplayer is a very likeable player with a decent feature set and an ideal choice for anyone seeking a small and simple MP3 player for music. The best reason to choose it is its small size and intuitive navigation system.
