First off, let your iLake ... er ... iRiver dry out completely over a number of days. If there is a battery compartment, take out the battery and leave it open.
Get a camera lens brush or paint brush to brush out the sand.
I had a CD player drop into Lake Powell and it did work after drying out but it didn't work well. I had a battery charger that ended up in the water and it didn't work at well.
I really suggest using one or two zip lock sandwich bags for players near the water. It won't water proof the player but it'll make it water resistant. I did this when I was just at Lake Winnipesaukee. Or better yet, just don't take your player near the water.
Good luck.

Maybe. Let it dry out and then take it apart and use a small camera lens brush to remove sand.
This site provides info on how to take an iRiver Clix (pwnage) apart.

Take it apart and clear out all the sand. Make sure the parts are all dried and see if any parts of the board are fried. DO NOT try to turn it on before you are 100% sure it is dry as you can fry it.
BTW, if it is under warranty, don't do any of what I just said.

if you fix it - you could rename it ilake.....
Dont try to turn it on. Let it dry out and try to brush away the sand with a small paintbrush. Is it possible to dismantle the cover so that you have better acess to the keys and so it can dry quicker.
Good luck

Your MP3 player might be toast....let it dry out really good and pray really hard. I'm afraid though that you probably of luck.
