The Diamond Rio PMP300 is a great little device. It hold 32mb of flash memory. That is about 8 songs. I personally love my rio. I think it is the cheapest (price) portable mp3 player out there today. I do wish that it had more memory though. The...

My experience with my Rio has been somewhat lacking =-)

"What is that?" "Ohh, a MiniDisk player...." are the most often comments I receive about my Rio 300. However, after explaining that it is in fact an MP3 player, the inevitable "How many songs does it hold?" comes into...

Pros: Small size, Long Battery Life.
Cons: Quality, Protocol Problems.
