I don't have a iRiver player, but was looking into getting one.  There
are two versions of their firmware--the one it ships with which allows
you to use its music manager software (which, btw, isn't available for
BSD anyway) and there is the UMS firmware, which makes the device
appear as a thumb drive to the operating system with the FAT file
system.

You can get the drivers and info on them here:
