Yeay! A fellow Blue Jam fan! It’s amazing isnt it?!?!?!

It was re-imagined into a TV series called Jam in 2000 and heavily influenced alot of my creative writing.

Check it out at http://www.filthish.com, you can rate it if it makes you chuckle. I’d appreciate a link too, if that’s not too much trouble……….?

I strongly recommend you check out a short film by Chris Morris for which he won a BAFTA. It’s called My Wrongs #8245-8249 & 117 – available from Amazon.

Cheers mate!

I read that someone who had a faulty iRiver sent it back to Germany and had it repaired under warranty. Seems it was HDD failure, like mine. When mine failed I was told by the guys at the very reputable hi-fi shop where I originally bought it that it would cost at least £100 + P&P to repair so I didn’t bother. If I had known I could have got it repaired free I probably would have. But my unit is a bit bashed up, so I’ll probably do nothing and press on with my (now replaced) itronics unit. By the way, I didn’t say I would never get an ipod, just that I’m not likely to get one as I’m an awkward sod when it comes to having what everyone else has. Talk about cutting off your nose etc etc

[...] My iRiver is two years old today. It was a birthday present a couple of years ago (yes, today I am now officially, unfortunately, in the grip of adulthood… gah). [...]

I bought an iRiver HD player about three years ago. I wanted an MP3 player but I didn’t want an iPod for the same reasons I don’t want to drive a Ford Mondeo because millions of people do. Anyway…I bought the iRiver and was delighted with it. Sure, it’s builkier than the iPod, and some would say not as aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but it sounded great, had a built-in voice recorder and FM radio, needed no special software to get it going and worked like a dream until about three months ago, when it stopped. For good. Nothing I could do could make it work again and I wasn’t prepared to get it fixed because of the cost, so I decided (unwisely) to buy a different HD player. The 20GB iTronics (or iBusbi as it is also know, confusingly) is a similar size to both the iRiver and iPod and actually sounds very good. But the operating system is odd, it’s not as intuitive and it keeps freezing on me. So much so that I have had to send it back to the supplier to be fixed. At a mere £89 for a 20GB player, what would you expect? I hear you say. Well, all I can say is that I wish I could have bought a like-for-like replacement for my iRiver, but I couldn’t. and I wasn’t about to join the other iPod lemmings around the world. So, I’m stuck in this situation because of my own obstinacy. I loved my iRiver and the iTronic/iBusbi is a pale shadow of it. But, despite all the problems, I’m not gonna get an iPod!

Christ almighty, there are lots of complete back passages in this world. This was a positive review of the iRiver, and you are criticising me because I was not effusive enough! Some of the people posting in this thread are abusive fanboys with attitude problems.

I know that iRiver existed before iPod. Where did I say that it didn’t? You are all pointing at the iPod as though it’s the only Apple product in history beginning with “i”. It’s not. We all know of the iMac — it existed in 1998, so there can be no dispute that Apple popularised the ‘i’ prefix before iRiver came along in 1999. That was the point I was making. I never even mentioned the iPod in the context of iRiver’s name. Stop moaning at me because I had the audacity not to give iRiver a million out of ten.

First iPod Oct 2001 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipod#History)
iRiver company established 1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iriver)

I’d assumed it was the other way round too…

I have tried this to no avail . . .

iGiveup . . .

In fact I’ve taken the beast to a local digidoctor today and he promises to neuter it and make it compliant within the next 48 hours sometime.

I approve of your politics by the way.

Have fun and thanks.

Cheers

Hi,

I don’t use Windows Media Player so I don’t know. Have you tried just dragging and dropping the files? That’s what I do.
