Cons: No line-in recording ; bulky, awkward design ; pricey ; USB cover doesn't stay closed

Review summary: - iriver has launched three new MP3 players that all sit in the same space. It's a strange move as rather than offer different memory sizes or different features, they pretty much all offer the same thing; Music on the go in a small package.

Verdict: Janus (Windows DRM 10.0) compatibility is the big topic here, since hardware manufacturers and the music industry are ready and waiting for the public to dive into the world of subscription-based music. You have three popular services; a growing ...
