I have two ifp-799's and installed the UMS (USB Mass Storage) software from iriver.com, not the the americian site (which had no clue). It allows drag and drop file transfers. Mount the player as a usb drive without using any special software.
Why did you choose the UMS option instead of the manager option? I thought this was slightly more work: mounting the drive, using a simple data base to get a neat arrangement of files on drive, etc.
Ifp-line works quite well if you don't mind using the command line. (It seems to work with mc as an interface but I have not tried this yet as I never install mc and don't like it).

I just thought of another reason why UMS is a nice option. I can mount my iRiver as a drive and then play the music off of the drive using my computer without having to transfer any files. :)
