Pros: No more having to buy CDs
Cons: Can only hold 7 or 8 songs at a time

The Rio 300 MP3 player is a portable MP3 player that stores 32mb of music.

The newness of this technology is its biggest barrier, because people will have to download or purchase files from the Internet. Without access to a fast connection,...

Pros: Great Sound Quality, Cool Colour!
Cons: Pricey Expansion Cards

I own a 300SE and aside from the fact that it has updated firmware and more memory it is exactly the same as the 300. I was worried about things that I had read stating that the case was shoddy, the volume level was insufficient and the memory didn't...

Pros: SPACE AND SPEED
Cons: PRICE PRICE PRICE PRICE

I got this because i wanted a Rio for the mp3's playing, i love the rio but the price tag was way to high for anyone with a normal income, i wouldnt go for this model, but the earlier version that is below 50 dollars, that one gets my BEST rating of 5...

Pros: small, no skipping, can repeat just PART of a song
Cons: easily breaks, can't hold many songs

After hunting high and low for a good deal on an MP3 player, I finally settled on the Rio 300. It seemed like a good buy for it's money, with many features and 32 MB of storage. Unfortunately, it broke less than 24 hours after I bought it. I was working...

Pros: Small design
Cons: Small hard drive

From use and experience I am sold on the music quality and ease of use. This a very good buy for a music lover. I believe this is a very good price for this wonderful piece of mechanics. One of the wonderful things that is different then the CD player is...

Pros: Small, Light, Low Battery Usage
Cons: No Usb Connection, No Bass or Treble Controls, Flimsy Battery Cover

I decided to get this mp3 player after hearing so much about it. I placed my order and received it a few days later. I was impressed initially with the sound quality and the size of the player. But one thing I didn't like was the parallel port...

Pros: Affordible, Upgradeable, Sleek
Cons: Software Hassle

The Diamond MP3 Rio PMP300 is a great player. If your looking for a way to carry your MP3 mixes with you the Rio is a great starter.

At first my Personal Rio was a tad slow. MP3's loaded slow, it took a long time to start up. Once I...

Pros: small, convenient, won't skip
Cons: can't be updated to play other music formats, price, 32mb of memory

With all the mp3 stuff going around, I just couldn't help myself. I had to jump in on this craze, and I couldn't wait any longer. I went to Best Buy, grabbed one off the shelf and quickly raced home. (I was going to get a CDRW-Drive, but completely...

Pros: No skip, long battery life, no more buying cd's, new music daily
Cons: Hard to find mp3's, lack of memory

I recently purchased this product from a friend who no longer wanted it. It was one of the best purchases I have ever made. First of all, this mp3 player has no movable parts so, therefore, it does not skip. Second, it requires only one AA battery...

Pros: Durable and good looking. Cheap starter Mp3 player
Cons: Tiny amount of flash memory. Flash memory rather expensive.

The Diamond Rio was my first choice for my Christmas list and frankly was about the only Mp3 player available back then. The Rio seemed reasonably priced and it fit almost anywhere. The Rio also boasts 32 MB of flash memory, which if you can compress...

Pros: Very inexpensive
Cons: Defects

I had this player for less than a week before it became clear to me that this product was not thought out well by the company. First of all, 32megs isn't enough for more than about 8 songs, or not even that. Also, the cord that connects it to the PC...

Pros: Portable music - can delete and add new songs to it, can buy much bigger memory cards
Cons: Price is a bit high

Mp3 players, are they worth the money? If you want my opinion it is. It is better than any other portable player like a cd player or a walkman, its anti-skip so it wont ever skip and its a palm design so it will be smaller than you palm. Most...

Pros: Compact size
Cons: Battery case placement

I bought the Rio before the other portable players came out. I still believe that this player is far superior to the others. When I first got it, my old computer was slow and not very good for doing anything with mp3's. I had compressed all of my mp3's...

Pros: Tiny size, excellent sound quality, excellent interface
Cons: Small storage capacity, expensive.

The Rio is a fun toy. It is also an expensive toy. If you have some cash to blow, and you enjoy listening to MP3s, go for it. Sound quality is excellent, depending on the "bitrate" you encode your songs as. You can fit about 30 minutes of...

Pros: convenient, lightweight, cheap
Cons: easy to break, can't store many songs

I bought this product after I didn't want to spend anymore money on CDs, and Napster was in its prime. It was really convenient, as it was reasonably inexpensive, and I was able to store around 10-12 songs on it at a time with good sound quality. It...
