"799 starts strong, butis disappointing in the end"
Pros: While it is working it is a great player.
Cons: Simple HW failures render the device useless
Summary: This concerns the 799 not the 799T. What follows may or may not apply to the new model. I bought the IFP-799 because I own IRiver's previous generation SlimX CD player (which is still working just fine). I've had two of the IFP-799s. My major complaint about them is that BOTH units have failed in exactly the same way: the On/Off button failed. The first time it was replaced at about 11 months. The replacement unit failed after about 4 months, one month past the 90 day replacement warranty... I take GREAT care to protect my portable electronics, so this is not a case of abuse. To trash an expensive device over a 2$ button is a mistake I encourage you not to make.
