Summary: Not bad...initially.
Review: My player worked well for the first 2 months. Unfortunately, I also had a lot of difficulty with my computer recognizing my player due to driver problems. Dealing with Rio/Sonic Blue customer service is a joke. I had to pay...just to speak to a technician and, at the end of the session, NOTHING was resolved. I would seriously consider another player.

Review: So far the unit works well but it eats battries when in sleep mode. The software is not that easy to use, although it does work. I found when upgrading the firmware (software) was costly (as you have to pay) and the service is not that great. The external memory card is an MMC but no where do they tell you that nor do they tell you before you buy the MMC card that you have to upgrade the software (firmware). Once these problems were ironed out the rest was easy. While the unit sounds good, get rid of the cheap headphones it comes with, chop around and make sure its right the right one for you.

Review: The arm band was a seller point for me. Not once did it move or fall down on me during workouts. The sound was more than acceptable once you got rid of the flimsy headphones that came with the unit. The included software was clunky but it did work for me. Now onto the fun part. Exaclty 13 days after the one year warranty expired the unit stopped working. The music will transfer fine but there is overwhelming static when you try and play anything back. This unit was not abused. I consider myself a gadget-loving kind of guy and care for all my electronics. I contacted the customer support via email and received a reply 2 weeks later telling me to forward my request to another email address (.....and why couldn't they just forward it themselves???). So I did what they asked and 1 month later I received another email telling me to send the unit back to the company *if* it was still under warranty (which I *clearly indicated* in my email that it was not. Guess they didn't even bother reading my detailed email with all my trouble shooting efforts). Now 4 months later still haven't received any form of support from them. I was not going to talk to them on the phone for $19.95 (this is what you have to pay after 90 days of ownership if you need support) just so they can tell me nothing at all. Oh, there is also the option of spending a flat rate of $100 dollars to send the unit in for repair. Boy, what a deal when a new MP3 player is only $50+ more than that, and you can have it right away instead of waiting nearly 2 months for it to come back. Folks, this truely has to be the worst customer support in the nation. Go with another company if at all possible. I recommend an I-Pod if you have a Mac.

Summary: what a mistake
Review: The armband is great - thats the only thing good I can say about this. I've had 3 of them so far and the SonicBlue Customer Service team is terrible. I updated all the firmware, check all the connection ets... and everything was great for the first week - then it stopped working again. So now I am 0 and 3. I wish I had read the reviews before I spent [the money]. What a disappointment.

Review: The Nike PSA Play (both 60 and 120) are inferior MP3 players.
I dont know how a credible name like RIO could produce such a lemon. I loved mine for a month. And recommended it to 2 friends. They both purchased the player. I had to exchange mine within 2 months of owning it... for a new one. Both of my friends had defects in their units within 3 months of owning them. One of them was never able to use it properly since the day he opened it. Its support for additional memory is a joke. I have blown 2 MMC cards using this unit. Thanks to the memory companies warranty, this hasn't costed me directly. I would strongly DISCOURAGE anyone who is considering this product. Its not worth the hassle. It looks great, but it doesn't perform and doesn't last.

Summary: Great idea, but not the one to choose.
Review: The player has so little memory your lucky to get an hour of music out of it. Memory Cards that fit this cost $50 a piece, too. Don't even think about buying this.

Summary: great for running
Review: the player itself has been great. Had to download the new firmware to stop the battery from draining when it went to sleep but after that it was fine. The headset was too small for my big head and the remote control was useless to me because the combined length of the headset cord and the remote (which always popped off anyway) was too long. If you buy a headset make sure it doesn't have the "L" type plug as these don't fit in well to the device.

Summary: AMAZING, GR8!!!!!
Review: This is an amazing product. I would reccomend this to anyone. I've had it for 5 months now and its working just as well as when i got it. There are only 2 cons: the headphones (which are easy to deal with) and the software (which has great instructions but a little hard to work the playlist at first but then you get used to it). Otherwise, it is one of the best products for your money.
