Hi Justin,
It is only accessible in so much that it has commands to jump from folder to
folder, as well as file to file. A lot of MP3 players make you go into a
menu to change to a folder, but you can't know what folder you are in, until
you hear the first song play. But what I do like about it, is that it knows
about Winamp and Media Player playlists, so you can make it play tracks in
the correct order very easily.
All the best

Hi, yep, me again. Just wanted to know, is the I river accessable? I'm
talking more about the mp3 player itself and it's bottons and function on
the gadget. I've been thinking about getting in mp3 player for a while now.
So, if it accessable to list users here, i shouldn't have a problem myself.
thanks,
Justin
