Summary: Not bad, but this is my first.
Review: I just bought this thing earlier today, I wanted a not too expensive MP3 player. It sounds excellent but then again I have never heard any other MP3 players. Sounds as good as cd though. the headphones are pretty sweet too. one thing Im not sure Ill learn to like is that compact flash memory is not available for this RIO product. It uses a wierd memory alternative. Im having a hard time finding a place to buy expansions for it because It doesnt hold very much music now. well anyways thats it for now..

Summary: Good....good for beginners
Review: Ok, I like this player. i like it alot. to tell you the truth this player is the first one ive ever owned, and because of the fact that you can upgrade, might be my last. The sound is quite clear, no problems there. To me the actual best part of this player was the software, i love the software almost more then the actual player. its very easy to use and cool. The only bad parts in my opinion is th play/pause/forward/backward/stop buttons are all on one little disk, they can be a little dificult at times. also if you want to upgrade your memory to somthing higer, you have to by new little "backpackes" that have to go on the back, in my opinion it would have been easier if they used flash cards. over all the Rio 600 is a well rounded player with many cool hip accesories, like a diff color plates. you can also get an FM tuner extra. Worth the money in my opinion.

Summary: Great player, for a great price.
Review: Ever since listining to my friends mp3 player ive wanted one, but the price of quality players quickly detoured me. My eyes lit up when I can across this player on rio's site, and the price, $169 practicly made my eyes bulge out of my head. The usb cable is great for quick downloads. Also the memory backpacks are cheaper then flash cards, and you can upgrade it to 340 megs with them. The sound is great, it has a great interface which makes it easy to change the settings. Also if you want to spend an extra $20 you can get a remote control that unlocks the ability to use the fm tuner (havn't got that yet). It's asteticly pleasing, but if you don't like the blue you can buy many different faceplates to customize the look. Its very light and it fits perfectly in your hand, the lcd display is easy to read and if your in the dark its backlit. This is a great player for anyone.

Review: I like the device but have a couple complaints: not enough memory 32 is just too small and I can't find the upgrade modules yet. No belt clip, a case is extra $$ I'm hoping the fm tuner remote and extra memory modules will be out soon and be affordable. (can't be too soon for me). I use a Mac and already use the included soundjam software, the usb download was fast and software easy to use, I just need more memory! The price was reasonable as well, but we'll see when I add-in the extras I want.

Summary: Great new mp3 player, VERY upgradeable
Review: The diamond rio 600 is a great player. It doesn't feel fragile like the previous rio models and has very good sound quality with the earphones that come with it. Apparently, you can switch faceplates so your rio will have different colors but there isn't really any point to doing that because the original color is just fine. The worst feature of the rio 600 is that it only comes with 32mb of memory which translates to around 6 or 7 good quality songs. The software it comes with gives you the option of reducing the bitrate of the songs, allowing you to fit more songs on. However, I would not recommend doing this because this causes the background music to make a "squeak" type noise that is very irritating. Of course, you can also purchase additional memory in "backpacks" of 32, 64, and a whopping 340mb in addition to the 32mb of internal memory. Unlike the rio 500, you can actually increase the volume to a level that blocks out most of the background noise. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend as it has a very low price and with the large memory upgrades, you aren't likely to want to buy another mp3 player for a very long time.

Summary: This is the best one yet
Review: You wont find a better mp3 player then the Diamond Rio 600. With the big LCD screen it is very easy to read. And it being nice and small is great compared to the other mp3 players. It is also very strong, and the coler is great. If you are looking for an mp3 player this is the one to buy.

Summary: Serisouly Upgraded
Review: I just went out and bought the new Rio, and It's come a long way since the pmp 300. The new body is sleek and keeping all the buttons on one side of the player makes for easy access to all the of the options the player has to offer. an on board equalizer and battery power display are only a few. The beautifully clear lcd display lights up each time you press any of the buttons wonderfully illiminating the title of the song, compression format, artist, and album of the mp3 you're playing for easier visibility in the dark. The Software coming with the player has come a long way in itself, easier than ever to customize your playlist and get mp3's on and off of your player. As if all of that wasn't enough, if you're not a fan of blue, you can get a different face plate for your player. The only downside I see to the player is the serial cord hook up, not everyone has the firewall input on their computer so some users may have to pick up a converter, but a small inconvenience for the use of this great player.

Summary: A Superb Value
Review: My brother has the Rio 500 and we both really think it's awesome. However, my new Rio 600 I think is even better...and for less money! The new design is better ergomomically designed with a more comfortable feel in your palm as well as the abilty to change face plates for those of you who need to quickly go from casual to black tie. In addition, the entire device appears sturdier and less prone damage than its predecessors. Sound quality is superb...the included earphones sufficient even for the most discening audiophile. Drawbacks? Yes, in my opionion one. Battery power is less than pleasing with only 4-5 hours on the single AAA. I recommend investing in rechargables. Otherwise, a very enjoyable product and a certain value compared to its competitors.
