iRiver iFP is an user-space open-source driver for iRiver's iFP flash portable MP3 players.

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 is 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.
