It has several flaws, but back then it was the best device I could find. I wouldn't be surprised if it still is. I wrote about the H340 in general at: http://www.fabiankeil.de/produkt-erfahrungen/iriver-h340.html and about using it with FreeBSD at: http://www.fabiankeil.de/freebsd/iriver-h340.html The texts are in German, you might have to run them through one of the website translation services. Even if you decide to get a different player, I strongly suggest that you get one that can boot Rockbox. http://www.rockbox.org/ Fabian --=20 http://www.fabiankeil.de/ --Sig_9I+tAV=5rI4Oqugo4tP_7ja Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFE8tNXBYqIVf93VJ0RAt1BAKC1LTeMy0ikUnI71/stMQZZ8g/YqACfZaq1 bb2P1Mv5aHoHpC+ZhxAiV1A= =LUf/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_9I+tAV=5rI4Oqugo4tP_7ja--
