Pros: Great sound, look, practicality, quality Cons: low in memory
The Diamond Rio 600 is a great mp3 player. I bought it because it has great sound and because of it's catchy look. The only problem is that it only has 32 megs of memory, which is a big setback. I don't think this mp3 player would be good for working...

Pros: Small size, great sound, Cool shape Cons: Still searching for cons.
I was in Comp USA one day. I saw a guy with this little package with what I thought was a blue/purple radio. I asked the man what it was that he was about to purchase. He told me that it was an mp3 player. He told me that the player was manufactured by a...

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: battery life, design, sound quality, wma format Cons: software, proprietary memory, availability
Despite having had some problems with my Rio 600, I am pleased. I had to send it back b/c the backlighting stopped working, but Rio was accommodating, and fixed it, although a little slowly.
The design is wonderful, it's easy to use, it's...

Pros: The Rio 600 is very small and portable. Cons: The Rio 600 does not hold a lot of songs
The Rio 600 by Diamond is a very nice MP3 player. The Rio is smaller than most other MP3 players. My Rio is nice due to the fact that you can get upgrades in storage for it, but that cost a little too much for me. The Rio 600 is great because you can...

Pros: Cheap enough and a high quality piece of gadgetry Cons: The faceplates are a rip off! £20 for three Virgin Megastores were asking!
Having paid £120 (GBP) for this at Our Price I thought I'd netted myself a bargain. Until I checked out amazon.co.uk's web site a month later and saw the 64 Mb version for a fiver extra. But you win some, you lose some I suppose. This DAP is more win...

Pros: wonderful for students, studying, travel Cons: nicks easily, battery gulper, more memory needed
Honestly, I love my Rio. But sweet Jesus, how many batteries can this thing suck down in a week? I rarely turn mine on, but despite even that, this uses an insane amount of battery power. I just actually pulled mine out of my purse the other day, turned...

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: lightweight Cons: funny headphones
The Diamond player is nice and light. It was very good CD quality sound which I enjoy very much. I also like how is it particularly easy to use and learn the functions. I have been using mine for about 4 months now and I really enjoy it. I have...

Pros: Excellent Portability, Quality Sound Cons: Not Much Memory
The Rio 600 is one of the best mp3 players on the market today. It is small and easy to use, and transports music from your computer to your hand in almost no time at all. It comes with a nifty case that attaches to your belt making it easy to carry...

Pros: Attractive, easy to use Cons: Two defective units in a row - it doesn't work
Unfortunately, I have to retract my previous recommendation of the Sonic Blue (formerly known as S3/Diamond) Rio 600. The original unit would simply stop dead, without warning, in the middle of playback. Sometimes I could get it to start working again,...

Pros: Lightweight, small, ergonomic, inexpensive. Cons: The buggiest software I have ever had the displeasure of using
The Rio 600 is attractive, comfortable to carry, and the price is certainly right (less than $200 Canadian). Unfortunately, the software that ships with the Rio which you're supposed to use to upload your mp3s and wma files, Rio Audio Manager, is buggier...

Pros: it is portable, lightweight, and great sound Cons: the memory expansions haven't come out yet
MP3 players are the newest technology in music and this great product from Diamond Rio is the newest technology in portable MP3 players. Although the unit only comes with 32 MB, but it is upgradeable to almost 370 MB. I have had this player for...

Pros: Stylish design. Cons: Player stops working.
When I purchased my Rio600 back in December,
I couldn't have been happier- well, 32MB wasn't
enough space. But ease of use, portability, sound
quality, and battery life were all outstanding. Then
the player inexplicably stopped...

Pros: Nice interface, great software, and lovely sound! Cons: Memory pack crap!
Well, I listen to my advice and got a RIO instead. It's amazing that I paid the same price for my RIO as I did for my crappy D-Link DMP110. The two players are lightyears apart in quality and value.
The software for my RIO is great, and...
