wonderful player.......2007-12-14
I bought this player refubished and it was wonderfull! It was my first mp3 player but i didn't have any problems. It arrived MUCH earlier than expected, with every thing I needed. The songs were very easy to load. All I needed to do was dowload windows media player 10 (which they provided)!The menu was very helpful and easy to acess. The player was very durable (I dropped it more than I can count) it even spent a night in the snow which put it out of commision for about a month ,but it came right back after drying out! The only things that would make this player better would be: an armband or case(it comes with a neck band), being able to make a playlist from the player ,and a radio! I am considering geting the 1GB after mine finally gave up the ghost two years later. I defintly recomend this player!
as easy as it gets.......2007-03-01
the software is wonderful...u can download the music as easy as abc...the condition after months of hard use is still wonderful
High C/P.......2007-01-10
The iRiver MP3 player is not as fashion as iPod, but the C/P value is quite high. So far I really enjoy using this easy-operating and battery-saving mp3-player.
Good player for Linux æfter a lot of setup.......2007-01-03
Just got þis device over þe internet. Ich now realize why þis device wæs so cheap. Þe device would not upgrade to þe latest firmware advertised, would not play any of þe OGG Vorbis files þæt Ich hæd, despite it advertising þe ability, ænd wæs only available wið þe Media Transfer Protocol, instead of þe easier ænd more universal USB Mass Storage protocol. Þis means using Windows Media Player 10 or greater to control þe player, which limits its ability to be used wið Linux or a Mac. Tried calling support ænd could not get a live person despite spending half a day on þe phone. Þe iriver Norð America website's Need Help button wæs ælso not working, sending me to a 404 not found page. Makes me wonder if þey are still in business! ** Update ** Æfter spending hours on þe internet looking at solutions, Ich managed to update þe firmware by finding a Windows machine (ugh!) ænd running þe firmware updater. Instead of selecting America, which gave me a corrupted firmware, Ich selected Europe. Þæat allowed me to update to þe latest MTP firmware. Æfter þæt, Ich wæs able to þen use þe same firmware updater program to convert to USB Mass Storage (UMS) by selecting a new button in þe program ænd installing þe new firmware. Þis allowed me to þen use þe device in Linux, ænd, æs a bonus, þe OGG Vorbis media files now worked. Þerefore Ich am updating my rating to 3 STARS from one star.
Don't bother with this MP3 player!.......2007-01-03
I consider myself a well-versed computer user and have used a few mp3 players in my time, including my current 30GB Creative Zen vision M. I purchased (2) iRiver T30 players for my daughters Christmas presents in 2006. Both Napster and iRiver expressed that these players were compatible with the Napster To Go service. I made the choice to purchase based on their compatibility and price, but I forgot the old saying, "You get what you pay for!" I have not succeed with downloading any music into either of these players as of yet. Both have very old firmware installed and for whatever reason, will not accept the new updated firmware. And yes, I know about having to run XP with service pack 2...that is exactly what my computer is running. After contacting both iRiver 3 times and the seller 4 times, I still have not reached a satisfactory agreement for replacement. I would feel differently if only one player had issues, but both are unusable and I would never recommend this product to anyone. I would, however, recommend Creative Zen products. They are high quality, sturdy and the company stands behind everything they sell, not like other companies that hide when problems occur.

good things come in small packages.......2006-08-16
This is a great little player. I got this player as sort of a back up and did expect much cause the price was low and I have been burned by low priced mp3 players before. I go this thing and loaded a bunch of music on it (about 10 or so hours worth) and it sounds great. There are diferent EQ settings or you can go in and sett the EQ your self. Runs off of one aaa battery for about 15 to 20 hours. It is very lite. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing. You can forget it's in your pocket and I almost washed it in my jeans once. I also don't like to have many things in my pockets and you don't even know it's there. I wish it was a little bigger casue the display is small and sometimes it's hard to read but other than that it's a great little player.

Amazon.com Review
The Tivoli Model One has been praised far and wide for its high-quality sound, small size, and cool, retro styling. We got our hands on a sample unit and came away impressed, just as many others have. Anyone who wants a compact, stylish radio with surprisingly good sound should give the Model One a look.
Design
In many ways, the Model One is the culminating achievement of famed audio engineer Henry Kloss's long career. Designed from the ground up by Kloss, who passed away in 2002, the radio exudes understated class and elegant simplicity. We received the Platinum Series Model One, which features a hand-lacquered, high gloss dark walnut cabinet that is simply gorgeous. According to Tivoli, the genuine wood casing isn't just for looks as it provides "an acoustically inert housing" that maximizes the speaker's sound quality. At just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep, the Model One is about the size of a toaster turned on its side-- plenty small to fit on a desk, dresser, or nightstand.
The Model One's single rotary dial handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. It feels sturdy and smooth in the hand. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that is a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob-- a 5 to 1 ratio, to be exact. This "ratio" dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios.
The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control. Plus, they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We liked the light-colored face and dark lettering printed on the Platinum Series model we reviewed; it made for easy operation in dimly-lit rooms. The Model One's single, 3" driver is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. Tivoli adds that the speaker is enhanced by a "multi-stage frequency contouring circuit that adjusts the speaker's output over half-octave increments." The result, Tivoli claims, is "musically accurate tonal balance and bass response."
The back of the unit features a coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire. While the Model One also has an internal FM antenna, Tivoli recommends using the supplied external one for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of stations crammed together. There's a handy switch for switching between the internal and external antennae. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5mm auxiliary line in port for plugging in your iPod or other music device. If you want to use the Model One as a component tuner-- not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry-- Tivoli has provided a 3.5mm output port. The back panel also sports separate ports for AC and DC power, making the unit a great choice for boating or RV use.
Listening Pleasure
As with the Tivoli iPal portable speaker system, we were initially skeptical about the performance of a small, one-speaker unit that only offers monaural sound. The reality is that most small two-speaker systems don't allow you to place the speakers very far apart anyway, and the Model One's rich, resonant sound more than made up for its lack of true stereo separation. Plus, the Model One is a single, elegant box with no annoying speaker cords.
While the Model One isn't designed to provide earth-shattering sound at high volume, it produces surprising clarity and fullness at normal listening levels. When turned all the way up, the unit's rich sound persists and we suspect that Tivoli engineered the Model One's volume level to max out before any distortion arises. If you don't need a lot of volume, the Model One delivers. As with the iPal, we were left scratching our heads and wondering how such great sound could come from such a little box.
The Model One's tuning accuracy is also impressive; we were able to dial in stations we didn't even know existed. Tivoli says this is due to the unit's discrete-component FM tuner technology, which was originally developed for cellular telephones. Whatever Tivoli has done here, they did it right; closely-spaced stations are a breeze to tune.
Pros
- Compact form factor
- Excellent sound
- Supremely accurate tuning
Cons
- Not engineered to produce extremely high volume levels

Great radio, nice styling........2007-01-20
As everyone else has noted about these Tivoli radios, it really does have superb sound in a small box. Great bass. What I don't understand is why they sell this beautiful piece of furniture with a WHITE appliance cord?? Also, has anyone else been able to find the connector cable to connect an ipod to this radio?
