It's nothing fancy and that's just fine.

by misterken , Apr 02 '05
Pros: Great size and weight. Easy to use. A fine and simple Mp3 player.
Cons: Next-to-nothing memory storage. Radio reception is a joke.
Sure, it doesn't have the 'buzz' factor that an iPod would, but this player is perfect for a workout. Size matters. One thing I really appreciate in electronics is when they are designed for 'human hands'. Tiny buttons drive me out of my ...

Amazing compact MP3 player with extras!

by cmalana , May 13 '03
Pros: Compact size, Expandability to 576MB, Lightweight, Stopwatch, Firmware upgrades, Looks great!
Cons: FM Tuner not that great (even with new firmware) Included headphones have marginal sound
I finally started getting into the MP3 scene a month or so ago after I started getting into burning my own mixes on CD. The idea of getting an MP3 player came after I got tired of the random music than the gym that I went to played. I just can't...

Just got one!

by fanmandavid55 , Dec 12 '03
Pros: Small and light, great for workouts...quality of sound very good
Cons: Battery life,uncomfortable earphones,fm tuner ok but not great
I just purchased this unit 3 days ago and I am thrilled with the sound and portability compared to my cd player. Eventually I will probably purchase a hard drive unit for the larger memory but right now I am too cheap to buy one of those so I went for ...

Not designed for fitness enthusiast

by erayser , Sep 21 '03
Pros: One of the few "sport MP3 players" with a belt clip.
Cons: Poorly designed controls.
I bought this product 3 months ago. As a former electronics products tester and a runner/gym rat who works out at least 4-5 times per week, I've come to despise this poorly engineered product. It certainly wasn’t designed with the fitness enthus ...

Cheap, Functional and Expandable, but not exactly Durable

by covertwar , Aug 28 '05
Pros: Cheap, Expandable, Functional
Cons: Breaks easily, Included software sucks, buttons and menus akward
This is a great player for the price, it works and sounds great, and that is all that matters, right? I totally agree, but there are a few problems that kill this little MP3/WMA player's glory. All have been mentioned so far, and I am pretty sure ...

Great MP3 player for the price.

by heinrke , Nov 10 '03
Pros: Decent sound, small compact, memory upgradable.
Cons: FM radio, belt clip.
I bought this MP3 player at Best Buy for $34.00 on clearance. This is a great player and perfect for my needs, which is to be able to listen to MP3's while I run. The price was unreal so I purchased a 256 MB SD memory chip to go with it. The good: ...

What a great little MP3 Player!!!

by heed , Feb 19 '03
Pros: Small, Compact, Style, Great Screen, Easy to use, Lightweight
Cons: Low Internal Memory, FM Tuner, Headphones aren't the best
I researched a lot of MP3 players and finally decided on this one. The only downside, in my mind, was the low internal memory. But I am on my computer a lot and figured it would be no big deal just deleting songs I no longer wanted on there and then...

Great little player

by steveinsimi , Nov 15 '06
Pros: Value, sound, utility. A lot of "bang" for the buck.
Cons: Radio reception, and the bizantine Realone software that came with the unit.
I bought this player for my daughter several years ago. She complained it didn't have a lot of memory for her songs so I bought her a 128Mb SD card. She used the player for a while and then it ended up in a drawer. This year for the holidays she ...

Compact, Inexpensive, Stylish, the RioSPORT S30S 64MB MP3 Player has Got It All!!

by othefisho , Mar 22 '04
Pros: Great for active people, good product for the cost, comes with extra card.
Cons: Problems with the computer software, battery doesn't last long.
I got the RioSPORT S30S 64MB MP3 Player for Christmas of 2003, and I've been using it ever since. I am an active guy, I play volleyball, go to the gym, and do other outdoor activities, so I just couldn't use a CD Player for my tunes. With that ...

Good, inexpensive MP3 player.

by jggillette , Mar 10 '04
Pros: Inexpensive, good ergonomics, easy to use, expandable memory, light weight, built in FM radio
Cons: The carrying case and ear buds
I bought an MP3 player so I could listen to music while running. The Rio s30s serves this purpose well. If you buy it at Costco, it's $77 and comes with a free 32mb MMC. The good: inexpensive, good ergonomics, rubberized outer shell (keeps sweat ...

My second Rio, the S30S

by pdpig , Dec 06 '04
Pros: Light, comfortable, easy to use, reasonable battery life.
Cons: FM Tuner doesn't always work.
I had an S10 Rio originally. Decided it was time to upgrade. So, I waited until I found a good price on eBay, and got it. I was pleased with the fact that it used the same soft wear as my old product, which aided to the ease of understanding of the ...
