About
This project encourages open source driver development for iRiver's iFP portable music players. Ifp-driver was started by Pavel Kriz with ifp-line, a command-line program and the first Free iFP driver. Today, the ifp-driver mailing list is a hub of discussion for iFP driver development: participants include everyone from authors of spin-off projects, to prospective owners/users.
Ifp-driver home projects:
- ifp-line the original command line utility and Midnight Commander plugin. Stable.
- linux-filesystem a linux kernel module that mounts iFP devices as filesystems. Stable.
- libifp a generic iFP support library. Stable.
- user interfaces
- ifpgui a kde/qt manager by Jim Campbell; uses libifp.
- ifp-gnome a gnome manager by Billy Charlton; uses ifp-line.
- ifp-manager a perl+gtk2 gui
- giriver a python+gtk2 frontend; uses libiriver. (unmaintained)
- plugins
- kio_iriver KDE KIO slave by Joe Roback; uses libiriverdriver.
- [unnamed] KDE KIO slave by Thomas Loeber.
- libraries
- libiriverdriver a C++ library driver by Joe Roback.
- pyifp python bindings for libifp, by James Evans
- rubyifp Ruby bindings for libifp, by Martin Schanzenbach
- libifp-cil Mono/.NET bindings for libifp, by Christian Elkjaer
- libiriver an older ifp library. (unmaintained)
Unless otherwise noted, projects support all iRiver iFP devices. Users have reported successfully accessing models iFP-1xx,3xx,5xx,7xx,8xx,9xx and N10. We don't anticipate difficulty supporting future models.
(Note: iRiver offers 'UMS' firmware for some iFP models. Devices running UMS firmware are compatible with generic USB Mass Storage drivers, and do not need any of the drivers mentioned here.)
