Review Summary

When ready to use this innovation from iRiver the wait is a short one. It has possibly the fastest start-up time of all MP3 players. Sporting a 2.2 inch display any jogger will feel in the lead simply by having this on their arm, and with 25 hours play time it will outlast the most avid jogger. It comes standard with earphones, installation CD, a few preloaded tracks from eMusic and it also comes with preloaded games! Of course it comes with an FM radio tuner and voice recorder. It also brags of a TV-like design with a resolution of 320x240 pixels and even integrates with Windows Media Player 11.Navigation is also user-friendly as the directional controls are actually the four sides of the display. The top edge of the player holds two tiny little volume controls.

On the right side is the power switch and a smart switch which is a short cut to a preset feature set by the user. The left side of the sleek player is where the earphones will bring the magical sound of precision tuning to the ears of the music lover. It also sets itself apart from the crowd with not only a voice recorder but also a calendar and alarm clock. Cost comparison and feature comparison rank the Clix right up there with the 2 Gig iPod nano. Games on the Clix include Sudoku which is preloaded and operates with Macromedia Flash. If there is confusion while learning to operate the Clix it even comes equipped with a tutorial and a printed manual. When downloading songs and games the Clix is very user friendly. However, when downloading videos they need to be in a format compatible with MPEG-4. They even offer free software to convert video files into compatible Clix video.
