MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- iRiver, the emerging global leader in portable digital audio devices, today announced the unveiling of its iFP-599T, the most feature rich and largest capacity flash-based memory player on the market. As the latest addition to iRiver's successful line of award- winning portable music players, the iFP-599T comes standard with 1 GB** of
internal memory and offers consumers the ability to record MP3s on the fly from any source.

The iFP-599T holds up to 34 hours of music and plays up to 28 hours from a single charge to its rechargeable lithium-ion battery. In addition to playing MP3, WMA and ASF music files, the iFP-599T allows customers to store all types of files when it is used as a portable drive.
