Comments, anyone?
Hmm. I'm not sure that iRiver is quite fully complying with the GPL yet. They provide the source of the GPL'd bits of the software for us to download and modify, but they don't provide the mechanism for building a custom firmware with those modifications à la section 3 of the GPL:

For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable.
The encryption password for the zipfile that makes up the firmware *.hex file would be a good start.
