Pros: Small/ Lightweight/ Good Sound
Cons: Not as compatible with Mac as one would expect. Headphones suck for most activities.
The Bottom Line: This product will stand the test of time or at least until something better comes along, but I'll keep this for at least 5 years.

| jtreviews's Full Review: RCA Lyra RD1021 (64 MB) MP3 Player |
Great Bargain Basement price for such a ultra portable device. This device is more than capable of utilizing as many songs that can fit on its embedded memory or from the upgradeable memory cards (sold separately). I have over 4000 Mp3's on my hard drive and I can drag an drop the song's I want to hear whenever I choose with this player. The included armband could be a little more attractive, say as good as Case Logic's or Body Glove. The headphones are great for leisure listening, but when it comes to moving around a lot (i.e. mowing the lawn, running, cleaning house, etc.); I would invest in some better form fitting sporty type headphone/earphones. As mentioned in the Cons section, it isn't very Mac friendly, but it is capable of drag and drop Mp3's without a lot effort. I have a Mac and have been using this model for almost a year now and it is a great little device. If you're looking for a device that is lightweight, has expandable memory, and is easy to use with great sound.... this is what you want. But if you need lot's of storage because you can run for as long as Forrest Gump can, then I would check out Dell, Nomad, Apple, Gateway, or some of RCA's other product line that has memory in gigabytes. As for me I don't need a Mp3 player that plays songs longer than I am conscience in a day. I hope this is helpful to all you and good luck with your Mp3's!
