Rio PMP-300 (32 MB) MP3 Player

Pros: Easy to use, great sound quality, EASY to change music
Cons: Flimsy, not water-resistant or impact-resistant

I bought the Rio as a no-problem way to listen to music while running.

It is an excellent way to do this - the mp3 interface saves me the time it would take to recording a tape, or minidisc: filling up 30 minutes of music takes about 2...

Pros: Innovative. Good price for the storage it gives.
Cons: Flimsy and doesn't take abuse at all.

I must say that this was one hell of an idea a shockproof mobile media player. It is a shame that for whatever reason, maybe to make it as light as possible, is so susceptible to abuse. A drop, a whack, even a simple gentle caress in some cases is enough...

Pros: Small, easy to use
Cons: Easily breakable

This is a good portable MP3 player, but it breaks very easily. It broke within two months, and I normally do not break any electronics that I buy. All of a sudden, one day, it just stopped working.

It is nice because it is small, holds a lot...

Pros: Portable, small, easy to use
Cons: too expensive to expand memory

I have had the RIO for sometime now because I got it as a gift. It is very very nice to have. I can program about an hours worth of music on there and the RIO program is very easy to use. Playback and use is great! I can easily put the RIO in my pocket...

Pros: Small size, ease of use, overall quality
Cons: Bad encoding software, no belt clip

The Diamond Rio PMP300 has been on the market for some time and was the first MP3 player to emerge, setting the stage for all subsequent products once the legal wranglings with the Recording Industry Association of America were worked out. Despite its...

Pros: Price, Design, Coupons everywhere
Cons: Memory, Quality

The Rio 300 is the best price you are going to get for an MP3 Player right now. I bought it because I did not have a lot of money, but I wanted a way to play mp3's in my car and at the gym. It works with one of those hookups that you use with a...

Pros: Size
Cons: NOt awesome

The diamond Rio has to be the best MP3 player on the market these days. It is superior in sound quality along with the size it is amazing what you can do with it. With the 1 AA battery life you can expect to have about 12 hours of music until you will...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: expensive for extra memory

For those not familiar with it, the Rio player is a compact portable music player capable of playing quality music files downloaded from the Internet or from CD's. The player is about the size of a deck of cards and roughly the same weight. Even better,...

Pros: 1 AA Battery, 4+ hours
Cons: Memory size, Price

I picked this up the first day it was out at Fry's Electronics. Got home and fiddled with the thing. I have to admit, I was really surprised to hear what it could kick out from JUST ONE 1.5v AA battery. I think I had it run over 5 hours with a Duracell...

Pros: Nice Features
Cons: bad memory, no good tech support, incompatibilities

I love all the features on this player, it's one of the best MP3 players I've tried, but it just didn't cut it for my needs. I received the PMP 300 as a gift for Christmas per my request, however as soon as I plugged in the parallel port adapter, there...

Pros: affordable, lightweight, quality
Cons: none

Diamond Multimedia is already an undisputed giant in multimedia, hugely successful in everything from soundcards to modems and graphics accelerators. Now, they’re breaking new ground with their Rio PMP300 player, which is portable, palm-sized, and plays...

Pros: small size/lightweight
Cons: short playtime/memory became corrupted

My Diamond Rio PMP300 is truly great for listening to while I jog. What really attracted me to it was it's small size. It is miniscule compared to bulky cassette players and weighs in at a feather light 2.5 ounces.

Also, there are no...

Pros: Light weight, Portable, and Great Quality
Cons: Not Enough Memory

When I bought this product I was worried that it wouldn't be my moneys worth. It was. The sound quality is great. I carry it around with me all the time and it take just one double AA battery. It last about 3 hours. When I am walking home from...

Pros: Small, Free Music
Cons: Cost of player (not much)

I bought the Diamond Rio a while ago and I use it all the time everywhere. The main place I listen to it is at school because it's so small and you never have to change Tapes, CD's, or Minidiscs. It's very light and you can always have new free music. I...

Pros: Sound and Size
Cons: Small enough to get lost in a cluttered teenagers room

I purchased my Diamond Rio through Mercata and it had a $50.00 rebate so I ended up paying only $49.95 for it. It is a great bargain, and once my son learned how to download the music online, he doesn't have to worry about someone stealing his CDs. The...
