"Decent player with problematic Audible file implementation"
Pros: Compact form factor, nice display, good sound, excellent voice recorder
Cons: Issues with Audible support -- don't buy it for this feature
Summary: I was looking for a "do-it-all" player for music, voice and audiobooks. Although the iRiver T30 handles the first two functions pretty well, I advise you not to buy this unit for its support of Audible files. In this mode it works (sort of), but I have discovered several very annoying quirks.
As soon as I use the voice recording feature, the unit:
1) Will not save bookmarks in an Audible file.
2) Will not retain the last position in memory when I exit from an Audible file.
When this happens, the only solution I have found is to completely reformat the device and reinstall the operating system.
As well, when the unit's battery runs out in the middle of listening to an Audible file, the entire file is no longer recognized by the player. I must load a new copy of the file to continue.
