 Disappointed October 21, 2009

The player came with an arm band and a plastic case but no cable to download songs. I had to purchase a cable from a different site.

Every bad review i've read here already sums it up, I had the same nightmare with this horrible machine. Avoid, save your money get an YEPP, ZEN, or IPOD.
 No complaints October 27, 2006

I know everyone has different experiences with different devices, so I can only share mine....I've owned this little gem for close to two years and had no problems. The buttons ARE a bit sensitive, but I can either lock the unit or move it to the other side of my body. Simple enough. The software seems easy enough for me to use. But most of all, I'd like to talk about durability. I have a lawn service and wear this while I'm mowing, etc. I use noise- cancelling earphones and the sound is AWESOME! But I've bumped the poor thing, had the display so covered with grass I couldn't read it, and it just keeps on working. For the low price, that's quite a value. I've added a 512 MB SD card so I have plenty of music loaded to avoid having to listen to "re-runs" throughout the day. And on a rechargeable NIMH battery, I get about 8 hours of cranked- up rock music. I can't say enough about this device. It's been a real ear and lifesaver!
 If only it would behave! August 28, 2006

So...my husband bought me one of these when I started a new gym routine heavy in cardio and could not STAND trying to focus on the TVs. I LOVED it! It was small and easy to use, although we don't have the fastest computer and the software update last year made it a little harder to add songs.
And then...a few weeks in...it just DIED! AHHHH!
So...I figured it was just a dud...I know it can happen...or maybe I had done something to it accidently...so we got back on Amazon and grabbed up another one. I loaded it up and we headed for the gym.
And then ...a few weeks later...it would stop the song every 5 seconds or so until I hit play. Over and over and over.
It breaks my heart because the sound quality was great, it had more memory than I needed for a good couple of hours at the gym, but it just would not behave!
Hope mine was just an exception...I do think I'll give Rio another try...but I'm going to have to grab another model...so sad...
Heed the support warnings, PLEASE!! June 23, 2006

The folks here who are warning you about RIO support are dead on - I had the same experience. When the product broke, we were left on our own. What do you say to your kid when their Christmas gift broke and the company that made it won't support it 4 months after they sold it to you? These folks DO NOT stand behind their product, beyond 90 days at least.
Check RIO's their web site for their warranty information - their warranties only go to 90 days from proof of purchase. I don't know about you, but when I lay out cash like this I expect more. Don't waste your money here. Get a product that won't break and, if it does, you'll have someone standing behind it.
You'll be thankful you did.
