iriver CXW-2G Clix 2 GB Digital Music and Video Player, White
The beautifully designed iRiver clix features a new ultra-intuitive interface that is easily customizable to match your style. Plus, the iriver clix works with both subscription and pay-per-song music services, so millions of songs are available to you.
The iRiver Clix features an eye-catching, direct-click interface that makes it easy to fly through your media collection and find the right song, video, photo, or video game. The unit is centered around a vivid 2.2-inch color LCD display, which delivers remarkably clear 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution for watching videos and playing flash-based games. With support for MP3, WMA, ASF, Ogg, JPEG, MPEG-4, and Flash Lite 1.1 files, users can choose from a ton of other audio and video formats. The iRiver Clix even works with Windows Media Player 10 and its variety of affiliated online music stores and subscription services, including PlaysForSure services such as Napster and Rhapsody. Measuring just 2.7 by 1.8 by 0.6 inches and weighing a mere 2.5 ounces, the Clix is about the size of a business card. But don't be fooled, as the unit features 2 GB of internal flash memory, which is capable of storing approximately 32 hours of CD-quality MP3 music (encoded at 128 kbps) or 64 hours of WMA tracks (at 64 kbps). The Clix also plays MPEG-4 Simple Profile (SP) files at a maximum of 384 kbps and 15 frames per second, with audio encoded in MP3 format. Should you need to convert other formats to MPEG-4, simply download the free iRiverter utility and you're set. The display also doubles as the control interface, so you don't have to mess with any cumbersome buttons or controls. And unlike the touchscreens normally found on PDAs, the Clix's direct-click feature responds to gentle fingertip pressure, eliminating the need for pens or control keys. Meanwhile, a built-in microphone makes the iRiver Clix an ultracompact dictation machine. The recording quality is freely selectable and is controlled automatically. And listeners who hate to miss their favorite public radio program will dig the built-in FM tuner. Finally, the unit comes with several free Flash Lite games, including Launch Fighters (a Space Invaders remake, Log Jam, Barn Baron, and Sudoku. Audio-wise, the Clix offers 10 EQ settings along, a user-defined EQ option, and SRS WOW virtual surround sound, which creates a 3-D soundscape and a superior bass performance. In addition, the Clix, which is compatible with Windows XP operating systems (SP1), sports a fast USB 2.0 interface for speedy file transfers. The device comes with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery that delivers up to 25 hours of battery life per charge and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box

iriver CXW-2G Clix 2 GB Digital Music and Video Player, White Reviews
its terrible I hate it I got mine for christmas and now it doesnt play songs
The only issue is that 2 gb is not a whole lot for storage, but that's what I bought and other sizes are available. Integration with Windows Media Player is relatively seamless. It's a rock solid player with good battery life. The radio functions quite nicely. The screen is absolutely beautiful. Beyond that, it's an outstanding media player. I bought it several months ago and have had sufficient time to become familiar with the ins and outs of the Clix.
I have never seen such a great screen on such a small device. It's easy to get to wherever you want, and whatever function you want. One knock on it is that you can't play songs while it's connected to the computer, which is the primary method of charging unless you get another adapter. This is an outstanding product. First of all, navigation is simple and straight forward.
It is cool and easy to use. However, I still a little disappointed. But it wasted my time. If you check the iriver plus 3's help file, it says clix is supported. The click design is outstanding. There are something else I don't like. This is iriver clix not iriver clix gen 2.This product is more or less like the iriver u10. This product is not supported by mac or linux.
Anyway, the product works fine. Now it works fine.
One choose is use iriver plus 3. The iriver's service is VERY VERY VERY POOR.
BUT ACTUALLY CLIX CAN NOT BE FOUND by the iriver plus 3.SUPER BAD SOFTWARE ENGINEERING.In order to play ogg properly, I did some research to hack windows media player. It can not play loosless music.If you want a toy which plays mp3(not even 320k, because windows media player will convert your 320k mp3 to wma) and do not want to use the iriver service, just buy one.
You can only use windows media player to sync your musics. Otherwise, save your money or buy something else.
And windows media player does not support OGG.So how to play OGG(up to level 10) on this kind of toy. First, I bought a new one, but it came in a box which I was sure that someone opened it before I did.
If you value portability, want video, and like FM radio then the iRiver is a huge bargain. I wanted both a video player and an mp3 player for commuting and vacation purposes. When I purchased the unit, the iPod Nano's were both expensive and they lacked video. This device fits the bill perfectly. I won't spend a lot of time on the D-click user interface except to say that I liked it.
Sometimes way behind. Converting a full length movie to an iRiver compatible format reduces the size from ~5GB all the way down to ~400mb. That works for me. Watching a full length movie is no problem whatsoever. It's not as cool as an iPod, but the space savings make the player considerably smaller than a Nano, which is nice. First, it's incredibly portable. You can easily store two full-length feature films with room left over for hundreds (if not thousands) of songs. The iRiver is a fabulous little device.
It's smaller than a deck of cards and is very light. If you buy the velcro strap/cover accessory you'll hardly notice the weight. Apple has their act together with the iTunes store and their Windows-based competition lags behind. Second, the video is surprisingly good. The only downside I see to this player isn't even really the iRiver's fault. Third, the storage capacity wasn't an issue for me.
Many features are very good. The picture quality is wonderful, better than I expected. Some review said about the charging problem, saying it can only be charged through the computer. There are several things I am not happy with. First, it is not very easy to learn how to transmit resources from computer, especially in vista. Second, after charged, it can not find back where I was listening. The FM radio can receive signal in many place, quality is also good. The sound quality is as good as ipod and others.
I bought chargers so don't have that problem. I am satisfied with it. I still can not find the way to put in video and songs which are not mp3 files.
