RCA Lyra RD1020 (64 MB) MP3 Player

Pros: Compact, functional, great for working out. Takes SD & MMC cards. USB device
Cons: No backlight on display. Music match sucks.

I obtained this unit as a warranty exchange from RCA for a non functioning RD1060 Kazoo. I have been using the new unit for 3 months. The actual model number on my unit is a Lyra RD1021a. It has 64MB of onboard memory and a memory expansion slot. The ...

Pros: Cheap. No hassle, WMA and Mp3 compatible. Good sound, easy buttons. Long Battery life.
Cons: Small arm band, player shuts off if bounced because battery looses contact.

Pros: great sound and expansion possibilities
Cons: battery door plastic tab breaks easily. Can't keep battery in it.

The Lyra RD1021A is great to listen to but the case is the only problem found. The little door which closes to hold the battery in the unit has a plastic clip that breaks off very easy rendering the unit useless.
