Summary: Again, do not buy this!!!!
Review: Boycotting all Rio products because of this one-received as a gift and the battery door broke after 4 months of careful use. And whoops that's past their 90 day guarantee! They are of no help on their defective piece of crap.
Ok, now excuse me while I drink some tea to calm down!

Summary: Don't make the mistake of buying this item!
Review: Gosh where do I begin, the software is ass-backwards, you have to copy the songs into several folders before you can actually transfer it onto your device. And it is a slow process.
The 10 hours on 1 battery is a lie, this thing eats batteries like crazy, i think 3-4 hours is closer to the truth. The good thing is that it is only one battery at a time, just make sure you always have a back-up you will need it.
The actual device is dumb, it doesn't resume playback from where it was shut off, so if you have expanded the memory it takes forever to get to the 42nd song. Also, would it have been so much to display the titles of the songs? It doesn't dispay anything. The buttons are slow and non responsive, but on the positive side, I have dropped it several times and it is still working. I dropped my Nomad once and that was all she wrote.
So if you did buy this device you HAVE to buy a memory card to make it worth owning and that is going to run you $99 for a 128mb card. Still, that only gives you 45 or so songs. I should have waited and bought the Ipod. I regret it all the time.
The sound is good and I have no complaints about that, if none of the above bother you, then go ahead and buy it, or better yet, make me an offer and you can have mine!

Review: Have to agree with the majority of reviewers here, don't waste your time. Mine died, and customer support very unhelpful.

Summary: Bad manufacturing
Review: Huge waste of money. Mine died after a month and wouldn't be taken back. I'm currently looking for a new player with more features, one that is smaller and for around the same price. I highly reccomend to find another device other than the rio one.

Summary: Avoid SONICblue products
Review: I bought a RIO One in July. The software was OK but not easy for a beginner. Not intuitive for the MP3 player use. Controls are limited, even though the buttons are big, the circular configuration works against itself. Low memory of card requires purchase of more MB or else constantly using USB to change songs. The RIO one stopped working after one month of use, in August. I finally got an RMA from customer support in Sept. You must call their customer support line, which is not Toll free, and will cost you big $$ if your question is not under warranty. Also the Customer Support phone line is impossible to get through on. Four months later no returned product and not much of a response from customer service. Spend you money on another brand and avoid SONICblue. SONICblue products are faulty and they don't honor their warranty, buy another brand and avoid SONICblue.

Summary: Poor Quality Build
Review: I bought this for my brother as a Christmas gift. A few days later I decided to try it out and was pretty dissapointed. It was pretty flimsy, as the plastic material felt thin and weak. The headphone input was also messed up. It would only send sound to one ear piece unless you wiggled it around. Needless to say I quickly returned it. I don't know if I got unlucky and bought a defective player, but it was a piece of junk. I was pretty dissapointed as I have other Rio products that are much more durable.

Summary: one more for the junkyard
Review: I don't write many reviews, I just don't have the time. But I can't pass up the chance to tell everyone what a piece of ____ this player is. I'm just going to be redundant, because everything negative that anyone here has listed is true. I've had both the 32mb and 64mb versions (got the second one free through a rio employee, but paid too much for the first). Both died just after the three month warranty period (not to mention the faulty buttons and software prior to that death), and rio could care less. I just don't understand what's wrong with these units that every single one could die. There is no quality control. These are my first rio purchases, and I could never in good faith purchase another rio product. Listen to everyone here and stay away, no matter how cheap. You will just be throwing your money away. Take a hint from that 3 month warranty, it's pretty clear that Rio knows these will not last, so they won't stand behind their product.
