  Strengths: Very sleek design, great sound, does not skip, reads any CD. Rechargeable battery and backup AA batteries for long trips. FM Tuner with presets.

  Weaknesses: I don't like the earbuds and the remote is a little hard to read.

  Overall: It took a while to figure out all the things you can do with the remote, but I would not trade it for anything. I like that it reads any CD, so no matter what kind of CD I have in my bag, or if a friend gives me a CD to play, it plays. I have taken it on my vaccation and connected small portable speakers, so everyone can hear while laying on the beach or by the pool. Great FM reception as well if you get bored with your CD. All it needs is a good carrying bag, but this is really a personal choice. I spend some time finding just the right one for me.All in All I have only praises for this player.

  Strengths: High quality unit. Great looking. Sounds great with the EQ. The remote is pretty easy to use once you figure out how to use it. Plays all sorts of media (mp3, wma, asf, and cds). Power options.

  Weaknesses: Text screen on remote can be difficult to read, other than that, I have found no fault with my IMP-350.

  Overall: I am quite pleased with my IMP-350! I believe that this unit was worth every penny I paid for it(119@BB). I did quite a bit of research before buying this unit and was unsure about IRiver because I had never heard of them, but after reading more and talking to more people in electronics I was sure that I had made the right choice. This unit rocks!

  Strengths: Does not skip at all, plays MP3, WMA, and ASF as well as normal CDs. Also has FM tuner.

  Weaknesses: The earbuds that it comes with are not very good.

  Overall: The SlimX does not skip at all while playing. The remote is great because it shows the names of the songs that you are listening to. It can play MP3, WMA, and ASF as well as normal Cd's. The FM tuner is also nice because if the CDs that you are listening to get boring, you can switch on the radio. And there's upgradeable firmware. In conclusion, I definitely think that this can easily be the best portable CD/MP3 player around (even better than ANY Sony), and is worth the money.
