Summary: Great Mp3 Player and Storage Device but WATCH OUT
Review: The quality of this Mp3 player cant be beat and the fact that you can store any type of file on it is great. The memo option is also great for storing everyday things, like shopping lists. The mic is excellent, although it is SUPER sensitive. The display is excellent and easy to navigate. The only problem I have had is that I cannot get the files to transfer from my computer to the player on my primary computer. I am lucky enough to have 2 computers and the player works fine on the other. I have even tried it on other friends computers and it works fine on theirs, so I am guessing that it is just something buggy on mine. Overall I think it is definetly worth the price and the 40 buck rebate makes it a even better buy

Summary: Has good features, but also lacks some
Review: I think the Ravemp player is a great little portable hard-drive. But it also lacks some features (like storing songs on removable flash cards, no backlight, and not usb). It also has some great features that some mp3 players dont have.

Summary: Before You Buy.....
Review: I was thinking of buying an mp3 player such as the Rave mp but in my quest to find the best mp3 player I stumbled on minidiscs. I'v been 3 weeks now...weighing the pros and cons of minidiscs and mp3 players and here they are: pros mp3 cons minidisc: 1) Initially slightly cheaper 2) can copy mp3's directly with bundled software 3) Latest fashion 4) will not 'jump' ever.Pros minidisc con mp3 players: 1) Minidisc discs are only $2 and can hold 74 mins (double that of a flash card and flash cards are a wopping $60!) 2) Minidisc discs are also re-recordable ( 100,000 times!) 3)As with the mp3 player you can plug your minidisc in to your computer and (once you know how) can record your mp3s to your minidisc. 4)The minidiscs can record/play better quality music than mp3 players. If we carry out a side by side cost comparison of the sharp ms-md722 portable minidisc recorder and and the rave mp player: INITIAL COST: Sharp ms-md722 : $249 + 1 minidisc@ $2 = $251 Rave mp : $229 At this point the sharp md-ms 722 has a capacity of 74 mins of CD quality sound while the Rave mp3 has a capacity of (1 min = 1 meg) 64 minutes of nere CD quality sound. I am sure that you would want to listen to more than one CD's worth of songs when You're out with Your mp3 player so you would want to buy Flash cards for your mp3 player (each usually holds 32 megs therefore 32 mins of nere cd quality music). EVENTUAL COST: Mp3 player: Player($229)(64megs)+Flashcard($60)(32megs)+Flashacard($60)(32megs)= Total time : 128 min (128megs@1min/meg) Total cost : $349 Minidisc : Player($249) + disc($2)(74mins) + disc ($2)(74mins)= total time = 148 total cost = $253 Therefore it seems that with a minidisc you get the best of both worlds: better quality music and a cheaper price. But if it's smaller size and not so good quality sound you want... and you have enough money... then mp3 player is what you want. Please note that the prices given are relative values and might change every now and then.

Summary: Not bad, but not perfect
Review: Here's what I like: it has a built-in microphone and line-in jack for recording PCM audio (with 3 quality settings). It has file transfer capabilities, and you can download contact data and memos, which display on the LCD along with a clock. It's tiny, with good battery life on 1 AA and it has a battery gauge on the LCD. It has a button lock to keep it from getting bumped to the wrong settings. The sound quality is very good, with surprisingly decent earbuds from Sennheiser--they won't make you want to throw away your Sennheiser SR-600 headphones, but they're the best earbuds I've heard, and they're tiny like the RaveMP. Here's what I don't like: the software ONLY RUNS ON WIN 95/98--the RaveMP won't work on NT, Linux, Mac, etc. While there is third party software for the Rio, I have been unable to find any that works with the RaveMP. Also, it uses a (usually scarce) parallel port instead of USB, with a proprietary cable you'll never be able to find another of. The controls are not very intuitive and the software is merely adequate. Bottom line: it isn't perfect, but if Win 95/98 is your platform, this is a very good unit. The file-transfer, memo, and voice recording features are very cool additions. Until somebody comes out with a better one, I would recommend this to other people.

Summary: It's easy to rave about the RaveMP
Review: What's there not to like? This thing is smaller than a credit card, sounds great, has very nice ear bud headphones, and is priced right (especially with the $40 rebate now thru Novermber or December?). I also saw this product rated #1 in the TIME magazine review. They also mentioned that Sensory Science was a company to keep an eye on for creating future cool niche products. I would absolutely recommend this product to a friend. Happy listening!

Summary: EASY TO USE - GREAT PERFORMANCE
Review: Contrary to the experience of the other reviewers, I found the product to be very easy to set up and use. 10 minutes from opening the package to listening to music! Great features. And seems much better put together than the Rios (I went through 2 of those in 6 months. Highly recommended.

Summary: Good amount of memory, hard to use
Review: After months of my brother telling me to get a Rio MP3 player, I bought a Rave MP because I thought it had more memory. If I had known that there is also a 64MB Rio, I would probably would have gotten that. The buttons are too small on the Rave MP making it hard to use when you're running or working out. And you have to take out the battery to put in a different memory card. I'm not too fond of the hourglass design either. But, it can hold an hour of music and it sounds pretty good.

Summary: I really didn't like it and it broke VERY easily
Review: I barely bumped it and I had to send it back 3 times I mean it couldn't even stand up to 2 weeks of wear! I like my Rio PMP300 better it's much more durable

Summary: It's the best value for it's price of any MP3 player
Review: I like the sound quality, the amount of storage and the fact it can also hold data too. It is very useful for taking notes in class as it holds up to 4 hours. The earbuds as top quality and add to the listening pleasure. I also like the switch on the side to prevent accidentally turning the unit off or on. It sure beats anything else I've looked at.
