Don, Just curious. Are you using the Rockbox firmware for your iRiver? Take care and God bless. ----- Original Message ----- From: Don To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 11:48 PM Subject: Re: Please help. It sure is worth the money. The sound quality on the iRiver flash player is out standing. The recording quality is out standing, on both voice and line in and radio tuner recording, depending on the bit rate you use. I know there are folks using the eight hundred series, to record there podcast. And by the way list, I did figure out how to up load files to my computer from the player. Just goes to show, read, and read some more.

Hello list, I got a iRiver IFP895 for Christmas, It is a really fine MP3 player, ads you guys I'm sure all ready know, grin. I am really most interested in the voice recording mode for creating a podcast. There is just one really big and I do mean, big, problem. If I use the original iriver firm ware, with the music manager, I don't know how to upload my voice file to the computer. So there fore I took out the original iriver firmware, and installed the UMS firm ware virsun 890 Which could be really nice, problam is The UMS firm ware voice recordings at any bit rate have a really bad ticking sound in them. Now I can up load the voice files to my computer, but I really can't live with this bad ticking sound, I may have to reinstall the original firm ware back on the iRiver, then I can't upload the voice files to my computer, hell of a deal, grin. Some one please help me learn with some information. Thank you in advance, Don from Texas
