Overall nice review but... (Reply to this comment)

If you're not adverse to purchasing equipment over the internet, you'll find that you can get 128 MB of memory to play with on several players. The Intel Pocket Concert (PC-AP) runs $299 at the store but $349 if you include the accessory kit. A kit that contains many accessories that come with other MP3 players (like rechargable batteries for example). The Intel PC-AP with kit costs about $330 at most internet stores... with a coupon you might be able to knock the price down to $300-$310. A Nomad II MG 64MB can be bought for $299 at the store but as low as $239 at Amazon.com (not the cheapest e-tailer mind you) and can be knocked down to $210 at other e-tailers. A 64MB card can be as low as $49 (I just bought a few at newegg.com) up to $75 (buy.com). Together this is less than the Intel Pocket Concert. The Rio 800 does have a 128 MB version for MSRP of $299 that is available at stores now... Best Buy definitely has them in stock. The Nomad Jukebox is not very expensive anymore ($299) versus the C version ($269) which is a toned down version of the original (I'd spend the additional $30). Although you brought up good points in your review, I suggest looking at the prices again. I do agree with your general statements on CD-MP3 players although I haven't played with AIWA's CD-MP3 player which I hear is very good.
