Talk:iRiver H300 series

Untitled[edit]

To do...

I think the introduction section needs to be rewritten. Its not a very good intro....
It would also be good to get a public domain picture of a H300 into the article
Create a section for problems/issues with the player, e.g. the gapless comment?

Also include iHP-100/H100 series info?[edit]

Since the H300 series is basicly a H100 series with a color screen, and a usb host, why not make this article about both series? Reub2000 09:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm more inclined to keep them separate.

They are different hardware and the firmware is specific to the H300's. It would make the article too complex to also talk about the H100's.

Is there even currently an article on the H100 series? What's so complex about the H100 that it can't go in here?Reub2000 11:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

--Anubis1975 21:33, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not saying the H100 is complex. I'm saying adding it into the H300s page will make the page more complex and less easy to understand. There will be exceptions and deviations all over the place to cater for the H100's differences. A less important point is that the H100's are discontinued, so are less relevant. Yeah, I know the H300's will be discontinued at some point in the future.

There is not a H100 page yet, but it is easy to create one. I do not have a H100, so I will leave this task to somebody else.

--Anubis1975 07:51, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) There is now a H100 wiki page. Thanks Reub2000

RockBox?[edit]

How is it possible that this article makes no mention of the RockBox open source replacement firmware? I mean, how is that possible?

Because you have not added anything to it..? Anubis1975 22:25, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have now. ralphb 129.129.152.74 15:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Display of album covers whilst playing tracks
If I recall correctly, support album art requires a patch to be applied to the source code, and is therefore not included in the "current version."

1.30 firmware?[edit]

Anubis1975 20:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC) -- Here is a link to the 1.30E firmware. Have a look at the actual filename, not just the heading of the article. http://www.iriver.com/html/support/download/sudw_view.asp?searchProductIdx=42&searchCategoryIdx=&searchString=&page=1&idx=787&tmpSearchProductIdx=&tmpSearchCategoryIdx=&tmpSearchString=[reply]

USB Plug Info[edit]

Would be useful to include whether H300 series use mini A or B plug.--Lasersharp 18:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replacement Batteries[edit]

Mergy 21 January 2007 -- Batteries in the original units are starting to wear out. The Lenmar replacement battery is item number PMPIRH1. The batteries are supposed to be replaced only by trained technicians. User experience attempting to replace these batteries would be useful to know about.

Dimensions? Weight?[edit]

Someone with this information should add it to the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stuart Morrow (talk • contribs) 20:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Sorry, I didn't read the article properly, this information is already under == Models ==. Stuart Morrow 20:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo[edit]

Here is a photo I took, which could be used in the article if needed.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.
