Right here!  I've got one too.  It's just a USB drive when it's mounted
right.  

Too bad the new firmware has been delayed.  :(

I'd love to see the iriver use RB, but I think it might take some
firmware hacking to have it update the DB every time a song is played,
but that would be the ultimate.  I'd take it just mounting the iRiver
and letting me transfer songs back and forth between my machine and my
player.

I'm offline for the summer, but where can I find out about your progress
when September rolls around?

Cheers,
Chris
