| shirsreviews's Full Review: Rio Volt SP100 Personal CD Player |
The ability to carry large volumes of music on one disc is a nice feature, however there are limitations. The digital read out is difficult to decifer at times. Upgrading the software is supposed to be simple, but I have yet to figure it out, and I consider myself fairly astute when it comes to technology. The included remote control is a nice idea, however the clip for attaching it is virtually useless, and the buttons wore out quickly (most likely due to the cheap plastic used to construct it) The low cost is nice, and if you are looking for an inexpensive device to take your MP3's with your, or a way to compile your CD's into a smaller volume this is a good way to go. If you are looking for something to use while working out, avoid this one, the skip protection is minimal However, it works well in the car, but I would recommend finding a car adapter, as it burns through batteries at an incredible rate
