My now second PC is XP/SP3. I have an iFP-899 and an iFP-390T and have been using the Music Manager software. It all worked great. I just set up a new PC running Win7 Pro 64bit OS. I was able to install the Music Manager software OK but can’t get Win7 to install a driver for either iFP. Win7 device manager sees it, give it the yellow exclamation mark and labels it “Unknown Device”. I think it gives it a “not working code of 43″. I’ve tried XP drivers (can’t find Vista) but no deal. As far as I can see, iRiver doesn’t support 64 bit OS Vista or otherwise.
I also have an LPlayer (1LP 8GB) and have been using the iRiverPlus software for USM with it. I downloaded the new iRiverPlus3. It installed on Win7 x64 but gave me one of those flashing errors I could read. However, it still seems to work fine. BTW the Plus3 allows me to create playlists and you can change the play order of the items. Clunky but works.
I decided to convert my iFP-390T to the USM software to see it that would work with Win7/Plus3. It does and seems to be acceptable.
Is iRiver still in business? From their download site I was able to download the zip file for the iFP-390T USM system. I downloaded 2 versions, mp3 vs WMA. However, they were empty zips. I finally found working zips on a driver website and they worked OK. IRiver download site will not show any information on the iFP-899. Any request gets me “Sorry. Data will be registered”.
Bought the Lplayer when it first came out and it didn’t work well. The manual didn’t actually match the software version. Finally got another manual from the support at iriverinc.com (the US website) but the Lplayer needed lots of work and I just put it aside. When I downloaded the Plus3 software it told me there as a new system version for the Lplayer and installed it. Now it seems to work just as well as the other USM players.
I sent an email to support at the iriverinc.com. It bounced with unknown address. The site is still there but when I attempted to click on the webmaster or something, I got a 404 error. Has iRiver given up on Music manager?
