Summary: MP3 Players Are Great...Just Not This One!
Review: I got this player as a gift and was SO excited about it. I read some bad reviews and went, "whatever." MY personal experience was that it was a really good player at the beginning, good software [once I figured out how to use it...took me awhile as I'm not very technically inclined], and looked great. Then, the buttons got really hard to push/broke entirely...fast forward to now: it's practically un-usable. The thing sits on my bookshelf 24/7/365...which stinks. What ticks me off worse is that I wrote various e-mails to the company about a replacement or refund and received really stinky customer service e-mails back...vague and super unhelpful. The player also eats up the AA batteries pretty fast. I really don't recommend this player...don't get me wrong...buy an MP3 player [the idea rocks!] but make sure you get one from a more reliable company and one that got better Amazon.com reviews!

Review: I got mine from audible.com, it was refurbished and it truly will work when it wants to, regardless of new battery or position.

Summary: Excellent player
Review: The Rio600 has excellent sound quality. Because it supports WMA in addition to MP3, you can fit up to 16 or 17 songs onto 32 MB. The earphones are great -- until they break. I've gone through three identical Rio600 earphones, and each time, the wiring comes loose somewhere and I lose sound intermittently in one or both ears.

Summary: In my case, I have been very pleased with the Rio 600
Review: I've read some of the other reviews, and I haven't had any of the reported problems with the product. It's easy to use, the RealJukebox software is reliable and easy, and it does come with a case and belt clip. I bought it 4 months ago. I use WMA format and can store most full length cds. Storage capacity is not a problem, because I'll typically load a new cd into it practically everyday. It only takes a matter of minutes! I got 2 rechargeable AA batteries for it and so now battery life is not a problem. I use it with sony earbud headphones for better sound quality.

Summary: a really fun toy
Review: I don't use my Rio much for music - I use it to listen to downloadable audiobooks from Audible.com. For this, it's great. I can take the latest bestseller and listen to it while walking the dog, working out, etc. It holds about 8 hours worth of book. I don't find the lack of a belt hook to bad as I use a bum bag anyway. When I do want music, I can download either .wma or .mp3 files from my home library. My two dislikes are 1) the included headphones -- YECK! and the fact that you can't expand it with smart media cards -- you need to overpay Sonic Blue for "backpacks".

Review: POS. Pause is a joke with this thing. 75 percent of the time pausing just gets you back to the beginning of the file. Also once the battery is down to 50 percent it just shuts off.
I notice the used price keeps dropping. Once it gets to "free" I might suggest it as something good for throwning.

Summary: VERY UNSATISFIED
Review: This product worked well at first. The sound was great and it was easy to understand. I battery power was long lasting but it didn't even last 3 months of regular usage. It stopped working for no reason. Now it doesn't even turn on. This player just .... Don't buy this junk.

Summary: Great for audio books!
Review: I use the rio 600 to listen to audio books that I download from audible.com. It works well for this purpose. My main complaint is that I can't get the volume loud enough for situations where there is a lot of fairly loud background noise (e.g. traffic on a busy street).

Summary: The Best MP3 Player For Your Money!!!
Review: I am EXTREMELY impressed with this MP3 player!!!! Dont let the specifications fool you. This product is extremely easy to use, and for the price you get the same quality as you would expensive mp3 players. It gives you song titles, and YES it does have a clip! It comes with a carrying case that you can clip on to anything! The software is easy to use. The sound quality is great! I have never been more happier in my life with this product. It is true, you do need to buy better headphones. You would with any other brand too! None of the companies give good headphones with their product. It does need more memory, but prices on that are going down. For the price, its the best Mp3 Player around. Take it from a Telecommunications major at one of the best colleges around. The Rio is you BEST value!!

Summary: Its Great!
Review: Its great, I also take it everywhere with me, its lightweight, small, stylish and does not jump. The quality of the music is exellent. I have been able to get the rio 600 to hold at least 18 songs each lasting around 3.5 minuets long. Its great I really recomend everyone to buy one its worth it and it is suitable for all ages. As soon as you buy it, put a battery in it, and listen to it, there is a commentary running to tell you how to use the rio 600, I found that this was really helpful.
I hope you enjoy your Rio 600.
Thanks.
