iRiver E100 MP3 Player Review - Internet & Wireless

Wifi / Bluetooth     (0.0)
There is no wifi or Bluetooth feature on the E100.

Music Store Client     (0.0)
There is no music store client on the E100. The included software disk, however, does come with a PDF primer on different online music stores. This is a nice touch for neophytes, but useless otherwise.

Streaming Audio / Video     (2.00)
The E100 does have an FM radio built into it. The radio client is kind of poor due to the lack of intuitive controls. Pressing the select button will toggle between presets mode and tuner mode. In presets mode, you press up/down to cycle through your station presets. In tuner mode, up/down is both tune and seek: pressing either button will tune, and holding the buttons will activate the seek. As per usual, holding right will get you to the menu. The most interesting option on the menu is the ability to record the song. Recording songs off the radio is old-school piracy, but it loses some of its charm when one device handles the process rather than a casette recorder held as close to the radio as you could get. The menu will also let you automatically fill out your preset list with available stations, in addition to the option to do so manually.

The radio can be selected from the main menu.

Interestingly enough, you can't listen to the radio without headphones. The device has speakers, but will refuse to use them with the radio.
