Summary: an affordable alternative to MDs
Review: i got a PMP300 recently, and i'm really satisfied. i can rip muusic off cd's, and at relatively good quality (80 kbps) i can fit almost an entire cd on the player at once. yes, MDs are better. if you can afford it, by all means buy an MD player which has far greater flexibilily than mp3, but if you can't, get an mp3 player, which has many good features for its price.

Summary: excellent must buy
Review: I just got mine today I was amazed at how easy it was to setup and use and about how small it is. It only took a few minutes and I put 10 songs on it at about 128 Kbps and a few that are lower. The sound quality was great and because i don't have to buy music cd's It is very cheap. I get all of my music free now.

What can I say but that this truly is an awe inspiring product. The versatility is incredible the MPEG files look great. I really cannot see any glitches in thsi magnificent piece of audio-visual technology. Utterly brilliant.

Summary: An MP3 Player is the only way to go...
Review: Tapes are a hassle to make, cd's a hassle to burn and to carry around. Go with the Rio! It's tiny (no exaggerating), easy to use, and very reliable. One draw back: 9 songs at a time, although since I use it one day at a time, I never worry about it. I have a cheap source of Smart Media cards though, so soon I can have unlimited music with me.

Summary: I got my RIO for free
Review: if its worth $250 to have your md, then enjoy it! me, I boughta warped tour limited edition rio off an auction for $42.95, and got a$50 rebate!!!!! a free rio and $7.05... mp3 sounds better, 2nd, MD players will only hold 70 something minutes of audio... for the price of an average md player I can get a rio with 96 megs of flash memory! 90minutes of audio at 128kbps! or three hours at 64k which sounds damn good. If I need to change music I have 10 gigs of mp3s on cd-r at home! I dont even use my portable cdplayer and cdrw anymore since I got the rio, if you want an awesome 100% skip proof portable audio system, YOU DEFINATELY WANT A RIO!

Summary: THEY GIVE YOU A CHEAP SET OF HEADPHONES!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I guess you can get a better set at the store. the ones they send with it are useless. Unless you like things being stuck in your ear! Also if you have a printer hooked to your parellel port the rio will look like it is not connected. So go buy a parallel port card to install along with headphones with the rebate money.

Summary: A small capacity MP3 player
Review: Well, this product looks good, but if you think a little bit about his performance and you are a MP3 lover you will think that 2 hours of MP3 songs isn't enough.You probably know that is law penalty if you have mp3 or make mp3 files if you don't own the original cd. In the past a walkman or discman was so nice in a trip, but in this days of technology will be excelent if you make your own cd's of mp3 files (of course having the originals) that contains near 150 songs in 650Mb and put in a really good mp3 player (I'll call mp3man). In a few words, the best mp3 player (mp3man) is the unit in what you put a cd of mp3 and play your 150songs for more than 2 hours. With this mp3man, you don't need any flash memory aditional to upgrade the charge capacity, you will need only cd's. I hope that in near future this unit comes true. Think 150 times before you purchase this unit.

Summary: Unimpressed by MP players
Review: The best hifi gadget I ever bought was my portable Mini Disc recorder and I can't see this MP3 player or much that will come after changing my mind. Are add-on-plug-in memory cartridges ever going to be as cheap as MD's? No way, and even in the unlikely event the capacity of the 'memory sticks' reaches some reasonable level, I'm sure Sony will have brought out a double or high density MD by then! Anyway, I can have hi quality, random access portable music thru my MD without ever going near a PC... and equally, if I want I can simply run a line out from my sound card and record anything my PC can play... Other folks here have put the minidisc case well, I just thought I'd give them a hand. Hurrah for MD! A bas les inutiles MP3!

Summary: Cheaper than a Minidisc player
Review: I thought this was a really good idea. I can get to my computer every day and change songs, so 32 megs is just fine. And this is FAR CHEAPER than a minidisc player, which for a recordable one is 300 some bucks, which I can't afford, I don't really care how litte mini discs for minidiscs cost
