The editors didn't like

  • Not as slim as some of the competition
  • Lacking software
  • High price
  • Spinn wheel can be imprecise
  • Bundled software is clunky and Windows-only
  • Expensive given limited storage
  • FLAC files won’t play over Bluetooth
  • Overpriced. Touch screen seems superfluous
  • And its easy to overshoot your selection with the cylinder controller. User interface isnt all that attractive—and could be more responsive. Storage tops out at 8GB
  • And theres no expansion slot.
  • Clumsy scroll wheel
  • Scant storage space
  • No link to online store or subscription service
  • Pricey
  • Stark
  • Poorly designed user interface
  • No expansion slot
  • Screen dithers colors in photos
  • Video
  • Touch screen lacks gesture controls
  • Uses proprietary USB cable
  • Only available in 4GB and 8GB capacities
  • Very expensive
  • The Iriver Spinn is expensive
  • And yet it lacks some of the advanced features expected in the price range
  • Such as integrated Wi-Fi or an SD card expansion slot. It maxes out at 8GB and using it isnt immediately easy. Despite the seemingly decent vide...
  • Navigation is unintuitive at times
  • Mediocre bundled earbuds

  • The iRiver Spinn is an incredibly attractive device whose saucy looks, amazing display, and high-quality audio and video playback are sure to win many admirers. A few usability and navigation issues knock it down a notch, but some of those may disappe...

  • Abstract:  Dan got hands on with the SPINN from iRiver this week. He forgot to mention the A2DP Bluetooth functionality and the "damn excellent" sound quality, but we can forgive him because he does such darn great reviews. He strongly advises you &quot...

  • Sound quality; amazing screen; great audio file format support; stereo Bluetooth; intuitive controls
  • Not easily usable one-handed; memory not expandable; average battery life; mechanical wheel only takes on some navigational control
  • There's no doubt the Spinn is a decent player, with great audio format support, a superb screen for watching video and excellent sound quality. But it's not without its share of issues ...

  • Grand écran tactile, Bluetooth
  • Pas de lecteur de cartes mémoire, Pas de sortie vidéo, Prix élevé
  • Le Spinn est un nouveau lecteur multimédia portable original à plus dun titre. Ainsi, outre ses 4 ou 8 Go de mémoire (malheureusement non extensible car aucun lecteur de cartes nest présent), lappareil est équipé dun grand écran (8,4 cm de diagonal...

  • ordentliche Klangqualität, herausragendes Display, unterstützt viele Audioformate, Stereo-Bluetooth, intuitive Bedienung
  • kaum einhändig bedienbar, Speicher nicht erweiterbar, durchschnittliche Akkulaufzeit, eingeschränkte Navigationsmöglichkeiten mit dem Drehrad
  • Der Spinn glänzt durch ein tolles Display und eine Vielzahl unterstützter Formate. Für die Bedienung gilt: Love it or hate it. Wir empfehlen potentiellen Käufern, den Player vorher in die Hand zu nehmen und selbst auszuprobieren....

  • Abstract:  Irivers lilla silverfärgade och mycket väldesignade mediaspelare, Spinn är en av årets mest hypade och om-snackade mediaspelare. Förra årets dito kom från Apple och förutom uppenbart gemensamma beröringspunkter som en ganska kraftig prislapp, touchkont...

  • Abstract:  Iriver Spinn är duktigt hajpad redan långt innan släpp, och det är gränssnittet det talas mest om. Roligt men inte revolutionerande säger vi, men konstaterar samtidigt att spelaren är klart sevärd av andra anledningar. ...
