Hola

It seems that iRiver keeps upgrading their CD line of players with new and updated firmware (dated July, 31st, 2004).

Point your browsers here to download the Korean firmware of the players (same as European/US firmware with English menus):

http://service.iriver.co.kr/pds/main.asp?p_name=iMP-550

Firmware can be directly downloaded from here:

A little of Babelfish for a quick translation on the iMP-250 firmware page:

Well, that's all for now

Hi Natxo!!! from Valencia too!!.

I own an IMP-150. The last firmware from English Iriver sites is the 1.50, but on the page you are linking there are the 1.60 and 1.70. Also there is something called Iriver LDB Manager.

Does anyone knows if those firmwares work with english or european languages?
And what about their newer features or fixes?

I'm gutted to see there's no update for the IMP-350. Does this mean they're no longer developing the firmware for this unit?

Or the 150...

They don't even sell that one anymore.

I am going to get rid of mine...

I suspect it's a good enough unit like the 350, though (which I saw in the stores as recently as a few months ago).

Yes!!!! I downoaded the 1.70 firmware version for the Iriver Imp-150 and it works. It shows Spanish language too.

I don't understand why U.S.A. and other pages don't upgrade their website and shows those versions. On some the last one is the 1.30 and on other the 1.50. Since 1.50 has been released the 1.60 and 1.70.

Now I have it, but don't know what are the changes as babelfish does not help too much to understand.
