Editors' rating: 7.3
The good: The iRiver X20 offers good sound quality and pretty much every feature in the book: voice and line-in recording; an FM radio; photo and video support; a user-replaceable battery; a microSD card expansion slot; and dual external speakers. It supports Ogg Vorbis as well as purchased music from WMA stores, and the screen is nice. The player is also very easy to use.
The bad: The X20 is bulky for a flash player, and the scroll ring is a little too small for comfort. The lack of accelerated scrolling is a hassle for long song and artist lists. No support for music subscription.
The bottom line: The iRiver X20 MP3 player is a great option for users who value lots of features over an ultracompact design.
