FAQ:
====
Q: What is it?
A: libiriver aims to be a comprehensive library for handling the IFP
   portable media players made by iRiver (www.iriver.com).
   
Q: Why? There is already a project called ifp-line (http://ifp-line.sf.net) 
   made by Pavel Kriz <pavkriz@gybon.cz>
A: The latter is true. Actually nearly all of the code is stolen from there. :-)
   We wanted to make a gnome-vfs module for the iRiver IFP-190TC in the first
   place. Then we realized that creating a library that would handle low-level
   communication with the player will be a much more clean and maintainable
   design. So, we went for it. :-)

Q: So you guys wrote a library to be used with gnome-vfs?
A: No. The library is totally generic and only depends on libusb. So, basically,
   it should work on any operating system that has libusb support.

Q: What is libiriver good for?
A: You can use it to write your own program that accesses the iFP or you can
   use the 'ifp' program included under the 'test' directory

BUGS:
=====
We're sure that there are still many of them despite the testing. We'd like to
know about it if you think you've spotted a bug. Remember, that's the only way 
it might get fixed one day. :-)
