Pros: A decent highly portable audio solution Cons: Limited storage and a few small problems

Pros: Small, Good Sound, Free Music Cons: Plastic Case, Headphones are Pretty Small
My girlfriend got the Rio for Christmas. We hooked it up to the computer right away and installed the software which was easy and did not give us any trouble. The software is easy to use and it took us about 30 seconds to transfer the first song onto the...

Pros: Lightweight, durable, ease of use Cons: Expensive, lack of storage
Out of all the portable MP3 players I have looked at, I have found that Diamond makes the best product out there. However, the portable MP3 market as a whole still has some problems. In regards to the Rio300 I have found it to be extremely light, very...

Pros: Compact, easy to use, well made, free songs! Cons: A little expensive if your not that into music
I got the Diamond RIO MP3 player this year, and I am really glad. I had heard a lot about them, but I never realized just HOW good it was until I had it. All you have to do is download your favorite songs from the internet for absolutely FREE. Once you...

Pros: Portable mp3's Cons: not much space
I'm not about to go out and pay $100 plus for a portable mp3 player that doesn't have removable media (i don't consider flash cards removable media because they're so high priced). I bought this for $50. Would I recommend it for more than $50, no! But...

Pros: cheap, can't skip, small, 12+ hour battery life Cons: Preset EQ settings
The Diamond RIO PMP300 is a great product with a few minor setbacks. First i'll just go over the problems i had with the unit because that will only take a second. First of all the installation of the RIO and all of the required software was no problem...

Pros: Portability, Size, Weight, Doesn't Skip, Totally Re-Writable Cons: Little Space
I bought the RIO PMP300 because of the excessive amounts of MP3's I own. I didn't own a CDRW, so I wasn't able to put the MP3's onto CD. It was $150.00, and it comes with a $50 rebate from diamond. It is a good product considering its weight, size, and...

Pros: Lightweight, Skipfree... Cons: Battery hatch problem, not enough Mem.
The Diamond Rio PMP300 is a great little portable music player. While the 32 megabytes doesn't seem like it will go a long away, If you download audiocatalyst you can use variable bit encoding to make your files smaller. (that is- for high...

Pros: It is tiny. Cons: It sounds awful!
It was a combination of curiosity and a $50 rebate
that caused me to buy this product. I opened the box with much trepidation on the day that it arrived, eagerly awaiting a voyage into audiophile heaven. Finally, a product...

Pros: Compact, lightweight Cons: poor functionality, flimsy design, bad support
I love the concept and potential of MP3 music files. I can take all my favorite songs from my CD's and assemble playlists of my own design, and listen for hours through my PC. Nothing would make me happier than to be able to make this whole paradigm...

Pros: small size, Cons: terrible tech support, bugs
I won a Diamond Rio PMP300 in a contest in August, and I just got it last week. But I forgave this delay, and i was excited to get it started. I downloaded one song onto the Rio player, and it gave me an error. The song had been cut short on the...

Pros: long play time on one battery, Light weight, sound quality, easy transfers, upgradable memory Cons: Short life of battery when not in use, not top quality software
As is seems like most people who have written an opinion on the Rio brand Mp3 players, I received my player as a gift. I was very excited. I was very pleased with it, until I tried to use it on my computer at home. I had software conflicts that...
