I've been aware of this player for quite some time, but always deemed it too expensive. After all, they're charging a buck-twenty for something as small as a pack of gum. But if you've got the cash flow, iAUDIO I7 (16GB) is probably one of the most efficient music players on the market and here's why:
1. It plays a large variety of music files including FLAC (and avi's).
2. File transfer is as simple as drag-and-drop. I7 works just like a thumb drive and instead of annoying playlists you can create your own file system. Proprietary software is included but is largely unnecessary.
3. I7 is unbelievably customizable. You can adjust anything from shuffle mode scope to how touch-sensitive the sliding control bar is, which works just like iPod's click wheel (except it's a bar).
4. It has FM radio.
5. I7 is advertised as having a 60 hour battery life, I've read it's more like 40 and mine doesn't last more than 5-6 hours. But I'm sure it's just bad luck and I am getting a replacement after a week of use.
iAUDIO I7 has a plastic case and 3 plastic buttons none of which feel flimsy. The buttons don't wobble in their nests and the case seems quite sturdy. Aside from limited capacity, it blows the iPod away.
Update: I got a replacement and the battery lives up to about 40 hours and then some. A full recharge takes 3 hours. Replacement works only by sending the defective player back and buying an new one. JetAudio will refund first money within a week. Keep in mind JetAudio does not have customer support and publishes the Amazon phone number on their store front.
