| Rio 600 Player MP3 |

Brilliant!
For a long time now I have been downloading MP3s from the internet and playing them on my computer! I always wondered how great it would be to be able to play these MP3s on the move! And now thanks to the Rio 600 I can! Using it is simple, just downlaod an mp3 from the internet or convert one of your cds into the format using the supplied software and upload it to the player! Its as simple as that! The Rio 600 itself is small, light weight, good looking, never skips (no moving parts), and can be upgraded with more memory. The only dissadvantage is that it only plays 1 hours worth of music(depending on compression quality) with the supplied 32MB of memory. But at this price you cant complain! Overall the Rio 600 is a steal at only £149.99, Get it NOW!

Rio 600 (64MB)
THE GOOD:
its worked very well so far (a month and a bit)
THE BAD:
It does eat batteries a bit quicker than I likeSUMMARY:
I got mine as a Xmas pres, not my initial choice, but as I didnt buy it I aint gonna complain (yet!) It is used for my 2-2½ hour daily total commute time. PC Loaded the software ok, though I tend to use RealJukebox as the interface as it is MUCH easier than the one supplied. Havent yet upgraded the firmware (currently v1.15) and looking at other reveiws I dont think Ill bother if the memory split problem is the result! I would like to get the 340MB backpack, yet cannot find any mention of this on Rios site, nor can I track down any mention of this anywhere on the web :-( Even Rios own on-line shop shows product not available for the 64MB or 128MB backpacks! I like the shape and use and can get approx 35-40 tracks (mp3s @ 64kbps) onto the 64MB memory. I am using my preferred (better) earphones than those supplied - musical quality is very good IMHO - and I play a wide range of musical styles (classical, rock, punk, folk). Buttons are a tad fiddly mind. What does pee me off is the way it eats batteries - Rio alledge 11 hours from a single AA - yeah right! if the volume is at setting 1 perhaps! I rarely get more than 3 days use (approx 6-7½ hours) out of a Duracell AA. In summary then, its good, but could (and SHOULD) be a damn sight better.

Best friend -- Worst Enemy
Ive had my Rio 600 for almost a year now. It has sometimes been my best friend and has sometimes been my worst enemy. I had problems at first with setting up the software, I found the instructions a little hazy. But once that had been overcome I found it quite easy to move my music around. However, I have often had problems with copying music to the device -- it will suddenly stop mid way through. Has anyone else had this problem? It may just be my computer or me. Another problem I have found -- I constnantly use the mp3 player, and often when exercising, if the Rio gets knocked a bit it will stop which can get a bit annoying (yes I know youre not supposed to knock it). Also, I admit to not being the most careful of people, and I have found that after constant use some of the buttons need a couple of pushes! But if youre a careful person Im sure this will not happen to you.Good points. Very user friendly, the screen is informative, very nicely done. Sound quality is marvelous. It is a good player and I definatly recomend it. It is still alive after a year with me, and that is saying something. Good weight, nicely designed, very attractive.

Sony D-CJ01 Silver MP3 CD Walkman

P>This Sony is really great... I got it earlier today and its played all the MP3s Ive thrown at it perfectly. The size, sound and build quality are great, and it does NOT skip! It lacks some features which were cool on the Rio - m3u/winamp playlist support, memories for the last 10 discs used, upgra..

|
The Logix Clik certainly isnt the smallest or lightest MP3 player you can find, but then it does much more than most digital music players.
