Digital camera reviews of Rio 500 64 MB USB MP3 Player (Purple)Digital camera Review: A great product if you are on the go and hate radio hype. Summary: 4 Stars
Love to work out to music, but hate flipping through the channels to escape the blah-blah-blah of egotistical radio personalities? Frustrated with positioning a bulky CD player out of your way? I found the Rio500 MP3 player to be the best thing since sliced bread. Not being a high-tech kind of gal, yet somewhat intelligent, I was able to figure out most of the software/hardware without instructions. For the part I didn't understand, I e-mailed Rio tech support and had a full set of instructions waiting for me the next day. In my humble opinion, the sound quality is great, especially when compared to the static-ridden walkman I was used to. I suppose there will be bigger and better in the future, but for now, it was worth every hour of overtime I spent to get it.
