    Good Points: Radio.
    "Plug and Play" Ability.
    No Need For Software to install tracks.
    Drag and Drop ability.
    EVERYTHING!


    Bad Points: It's a bit bulky.


    General comments: iRiver drops yet another HDD MP3 player on the market--the follow-up to the acclaimed iHP-100. This time the machine goes by the name of iHP-120 and has a 20GB HDD, and supports the new upcoming music file format Ogg Vorbis. iHP-120 is one of the first MP3 players that supports the new upcoming, and very popular, music file format Ogg Vorbis. Another new feature on the iHP-120 is the ability to plug-in an external mic, using the players mic-in.

    You now have the ability to encode MP3 files directly in the player itself, or if you like, you can record to a high quality WAV file. Use the iHP-120's optical line-in, and get those crisp and ultra-clear recordings, either by hooking up your player to your portable CD player or your home sound system. The iHP-120 will give you 100 per cent quality each time, and of course you can set the bit-rate on your recordings just as you want it to be.

    Absolutely packed with superb and powerful features, that with no doubt, will satisfy even the most fastidious hi-fi enthusiast. It's nothing less then a phenomenon that this small and extremely portable HDD MP3 player can present such a powerful list of features.

    Perfect is an understatement...

    I got the iRiver iHP-120 in July 04, after reading many reviews I decided not to be a lemming and buy what everyone else decided to get (iPod), but instead to rely on all the good reviews I had read and get this one. I have not been disappointed!

    The sound is perfect, crank a song up loud and it doesn't distort. The accessories are great - FM radio, recording, a very very handy remote control, good protective case, microphone & all the leads. The firmware is upgradeable..so iRiver are stil ...

    I have been using the iRiver iHP-120 for about 9 months now, and have not regretted it at all. It is often said that the controls are complicated, but I found them easy to get used to, and have had no problems at all. Really my only regret was that I couldn't afford to wait for the iHP-140 to be released with its larger hard drive, although I have about 7000 tracks from over 500 CDs recorded and have not filled 20Gb yet.

    Apart from the usual listening on the move I have also used the (suppl ...

    There is a world other than iPod, and iRiver may steal the king's crown. My iHP-120 is the same size, cost me less, and lasts longer. I'm not restricted to iTunes downloads - I can rip CDs I already own, or download for a fee the tracks I want from several websites.

    I found the controls took a little geting used to - the buttons are multi-functional scroll 'n click types.

    This one should last me for a few years. My previous one, an Archos Jukebox, still works fine but it was a moment of co ...

    I have owned an iRiver iHP -120 for a few weeks now and I find it to be much better than my previous MP3 player, which was an iPod.
    It offers good sound quality with lots of effects and an equaliser. There is a record function to record meetings etc. The 20GB space is far more than most will require, but the beauty of plug and play is that windows detects it has a portable hard drive so you can use it to transfer files as well as listen to music.
