My cardio workouts are much easier to maintain using the Rio S35s. I've been using this MP3/WMA play ...

Pros: Small, expandable, lightweight, relatively rugged, well thought-out display, am/fm flexibility, and efficient power use.
Cons: No am/fm or voice recording. Accepts rechargeable batteries, but doesn't allow recharging while in unit.

I remember, as a child, going to a local retailer and spending $100 on a "portable" music system. I may be giving away my age, but it was a 7lb. am/fm radio with 8-track player that required 8 D-cell batteries when not plugged into an 110v outlet. Having...

Pros: user interface, ease of use
Cons: FM reception

I have a Rio 600 and am pretty happy with it. I take it or my Sony Walkman out on jogs and to the gy ...

Pros: Good idea, looks tough, good display, user-friendly controls
Cons: Hard to reach non-rechargeable battery, low-quality inconvenient belt clip, useless wrist strap, bad software support.

My biggest complaint against this product is that it's the only hardware I've ever seen that doesn't have drivers to download from the manufacturer's website. They SELL drivers CDs instead. You can download a "Rio music manager" software but it WILL NOT...

Pros: compact, stable for active workouts
Cons: headphone quality, no rechargeable battery, basic one-way file transfer software, exposed (corrosion prone) USB terminal.

Pros: Won't Skip, Great Size and Great Sound.
Cons: Expensive memory & buggy software

I bought this unit to replace my Sony mini-disc but it it's not that good. It's very good if you want a skip free unit for the gym but be mindful that the radio gets virtually no reception indoors. I can hold a total of 4 hours at 128 quality mp3 with...

Pros: light,compact ,produces better than the average player sound,You don't expect Ipod for this price..
Cons: You don't expect Ipod for this price.. cheap plastic parts, 256mb ram would be better

Pros: Size, Functions, Ease of Use, Upgradeable memory
Cons: Button are TOO easy to pause/stop by accident, Ear phones are NOT comfortable

The two main reasons I purchased this unit was for using at the gym and while skiing. At the gym it's great, I can tune into the televisions with the FM Tuner, or use the MP3 for my own personal music. I used it this past weekend for skiing. The...

Pros: FM tuner, good memory,digital skip free music
Cons: the WORST sounding headphones

I have the S30S witch has 64mb memory instead of 128mb.Otherwise its identical in features.Great player and I LOVE IT!!However the weak link would DEFINITLY be the headphones.They the sporty style that wrap around each ear.They are comfortable and...

Pros: Easy to use, simple and quick to add songs to player. Great for workouts
Cons: Radio function, and the headphones that are included

I would buy this again without a doubt. The 35s is small, light weight, and very simple to use. On average it took around 10seconds for each song to transfer, and I stored 30(mp3, 128bit) songs on the installed memory. The radio was a bit of a let...

Pros: Light, portable, great sound, long battery life, easy to use, easy to add music to
Cons: Could use a better arm strap.
