Pros: Compact Size. Includes a Padded Case for Use at the Gym. Cons: Software not the best but Serviceable.
Ive used the Diamond Rio at the Gym and while running. It is a great machine and a very good value overall. Headphones make a very big difference. The standard ones included are uncomfortable (ear buds) and dont play as loudly as others (I would...
Pros: small, light, nice neoprene carrying case, decent capacity, extendable Cons: resets if you drop it, holding capacity, dies after 1.5 years
This was my first MP3 player, and in that aspect it was pretty good. Overall, its a good starter, but I wouldn't buy this if you want good reliability or great capacity.
It only holds on 64 MB in its onboard memory. This equals roughly 17...
Pros: Easy to use, battery lasts a long time, no moving parts. Cons: Software is difficult.
I purchased the Diamond Rio 500 for use in the gym. For what I use it for, it is great. Tapes and CD's tend to skip. You can buy larger storage and store all of your favorate songs on one card. The diamond is small and GREAT for working out, running....
Pros: Solid hardware, easy to use, good memory. Nice product. Cons: Little or no software around to intergrate with simple things like Windows Media player.
The Rio is straight forward and a solid MP3 player. I bought it for more than double what it would sell for today, but that was over 3 years ago.
Sound quality and usability are great. Software package is poor. Upgrading it on the web...
Pros: Great Mp3 player, Can hold alot of Songs, Nice quality Cons: Battery life drains quick
Two months ago I purchased the Rio 500 MP3 player and it has proven to be an excellent choice. I'm not too bothered by the fact that it doesn't have added extras like an FM radio, digital voice recording and other 'advanced' options. If you're after a...
Pros: Fast USB connection, small device, good features Cons: Inadequate firmware upgrades, battery life fairly short
I purchased my Rio off of a friend for thirty bucks new because his computer couldn't run the programs necessary for the player, (I had no problems). So I got the deal of the century, so I thought.
I bought my Rio 500 off of eBay almost a year ago at an incredibly cheap price. It was a refurb, but from SONICblue themselves, so I trusted the auction. I was not to be disappointed.
When I first got my Rio, I was more surprised than what I...
Pros: Compact Design, no moving parts, easy to use interface, perfect for eBooks Cons: Link software is shotty, battery life isn't much, no AC connection available
The Rio 500 set a new, better standard for portable mp3 audio units. It's small, sleek, backlit, and is packing 64 MBs of memory. The unit was above average when it debuted in autumn of '99, and can still hold it's own today. However it is lacking some...
Pros: Durability
Great Sound and Features Cons: Head Phones hurt, like sitting on a bike without a seat
This MP3 player is awesome, it is very easy to see, and very accessible to extra memory cards on the back. The features for sound are also a great feature, and the backlit LCD screen adds alot to this player. Without any moving parts, I think its...
Pros: Fits in shirt pocket, never skips, up to 128 megs of memory, good sound Cons: Inadequate headphones, controls can be confusing
I got my unit free from an online site that sells audiobook content. I've used my Rio a lot to block out background noise as well as to listen to music and books, and I'm very pleased with the 500 model in most respects.
Pros: attractive, great sound Cons: volume could be higher, not much storage
i bought this mp3 player at 800.com for 250$ not too long ago. i was pretty excited about the 64mb of ram in this mp3 compared to alot of others that were already out at 32 or 16mb. but once you get going and downloading more and more music and want to...
I actually came to own the Rio 500 because it came bundled with an HP CD-RW drive I recently purchased. The whole package cost me about 200 bucks. The CD-RW drive is not the fastest on the market, but I bought it because it came bundled with the Rio...
I recently purchased the Rio 500 mp3 player which comes with 64megs of memory for $100 (refurbished). The player is small and portable, though there is no clip provided which would allow it to be attached to a belt or clothing so it can be used while...
Pros: A handy little gadget that allows you to listen to audio books. Cons: The battery doesn't last long enough.
This past Father’s Day, my stepson gave my husband a gift of the Rio 500, which was part of a deal offered by Audible.com. The deal was a Rio 500 player if you sign up for a 12-month subscription through Audible.com for $99 less a $50 rebate making it...
