Download Firmware iRiver iFP-500T Series 1.16

On the download page of iRiver a number of new firmwares have appeared for their iFP-500T Series products. In version 1.16 a new option is added called UMS, with which you can also use the iFP player as an external hard drive. The release notes look like this:

This is UMS(USB Mass Storage) firmware(iRiver Music Manager doesn’t recognizes iFP player) enabling you to use your iFP player as a hard drive. If your player has beta UMS firmware, please format before upgrade firmware.
Please back up the iFP player’s data because all your DATA will be erased during the firmware process.

Upgraded Features:

• Auto Formats after firmware upgrade Manager UMS
  When another type of firmware is upgraded, it automatically formats the player. After the firmware upgrade is finished, the following screen will appear and formats the player automatically when the power is on.

Fixed Bugs:

• Fixed the bug that resets player when DIR mode has been selected.
• To decrease the distortion of the recorded sounds files (ie Voice Recording file, FM Radio file and Line-In Recording), the highest bit rate has been limited to 96Kbps. It will be upgraded through firmware upgrade in the future.
