Rio 600 (32 MB) MP3 Player

Pros: Uh, it plays MP3s.
Cons: See review. Avoid all Rio products.

My 600 recently fell- oh, 3 feet. Once you take this thing apart, you will truly realize what little goes into these players. It can't be fixed- why? the connector on one of the PCBs lines up just so...if you're off, it's dead. I've got less than 50 ...

Pros: Stylish, plays many types of formats! Versatile, interchangeable faceplates! Expandable!
Cons: 32mb equals one 12 song cd! Not anybetter than a cd/mp3 player! expensively expandable!

Bought this a few years ago! Mainly bought it because it was versatile, I didnt know much about MP3 and should have done my research! 32mb is not enough, not even 64! I had the 32 mb one and could get about a 12 song cd on it with average quality music! ...

Pros: Great design on earphones, good display
Cons: Shut off frequently. Earphones stopped working after frequent use

I received the Rio 600 as a gift and used it frequently to work out with. It was the first mp3 player that I have ever owned and worked well for a couple of weeks. That's when the problems started. To start out with, this particular model only has ...

Pros: light, cool-looking, easy to use, battery life
Cons: a little unreliable, rubber material, small memory

I received my Rio600 a few years ago as a birthday gift. At the time, it was the peak of the Napster age. I wanted a MP3 so badly because I had no CD burner to listen to my newly pirated tracks away from my computer. So I got a Rio600. APPEARANCE The ...

Pros: small and lightweight, expandable,easy to use
Cons: breaks easily,stops working,software messy,

I got this player for christmas and it was my first mp3 player. When i got the software it didnt w ...

Pros: Small, easy to use, easy to hook up to the computer!
Cons: Not enough memory for more than 12-15 songs.

I recieved this from my husband for a birthday present earlier this year (2003). I have been looking for a portable playing device to use at work. I work for the US Postal Service and when I am getting my route ready in the morning I like to listen to...

Pros: Small, Sounds Great, Easy To Use
Cons: Hard to Find Memory Backpacks, Expensive

The Rio 600 MP3 Player Is A Great Player. Its small, packed with features. All though this player is very expensive to expand,the On-Board 64MB can fit a good amount of music, about 12-16 tracks of varied bitrate of 128-320, And with a 32MB or 64MB...

Pros: Great while it worked.
Cons: Play and FF buttons stopped working after three months.

Beware any Rio or Sonic Blue product. I won't buy from them again. My player stopped working after only 3 months. I'd like nothing more than to tell you that Sonic Blue Customer support replaced my defective player to keep a happy customer, but I...

Pros: Sexy, small and portable
Cons: Took 2 replacements to get one working, small memory

My story with this sexy little MP3 player lasts around a year. I got it as a Christmas present, and as a special offer was given extra memory, to increase it to 32mb, firstly this memory only arrived in Feburary, but until then everthing was working...

Pros: Good sound quality. Fun to use.
Cons: Not enough disk space. Battery guzzler.

I love the Rio 600! It has a fun to use OS system and great sound quality. It also looks really slick. Only bad thing, it has a very small hard drive and it uses a battery very quickly. Another cool feature of the Rio is that it has changeable...

Pros: This unit is small. Pretty good sound quality.
Cons: Durability, small capacity.

Pros:
I bought this for running. CD players skipped too much. When I first purchased this device I loved it. I took it just about everywhere with me. The sound was nice and loud to keep me motivated.
Cons:
Absolutely did not hold up!...

Pros: Rechargeable battery, easy to use.
Cons: Only 32mb, and memory isn't standard.

The Rio600 has 32mb memory, I purchased an additional 64mb ($80). I like the rechargable battery, it's a standard AA battery so if it goes bad, it's cheap and easy to replace. It has USB interface and downloads pretty quickly. I don't like that the...

Pros: Nice to look at, small, light
Cons: Very poor customer service, poor quality product

My husband bought a Rio 600 about 2 years ago and I loved it. It was the first MP3 Player I had ever used. He seemed pleased with it as well. I gradually took his Rio over, so he had to buy another one for himself. Well, the Rio has a cool backpack...

Pros: Conceptually sound, small, lightweight, promising
Cons: Flawed in execution, flimsy, watch out for those defects!

I liken the Rio 600 to the 2002 New York Mets: On paper, they are quite a contender.

If any of you had the unpleasant privilege of watching that team this year, you knew the execution was just flawed.

Same thing with the Rio 600....

Pros: Not sure if there are any. Have been unable to get it to work.
Cons: Does not work. Absolutely useless customer support.

I had a Rio 500 which I was happy with for the most part. I decided I wanted some of the extra features and battery life from the 600 though. The RIO 600 has been totally useless since I purchased it. The software regularly hangs or does not recognize...
