Summary: Great, with caution
Review: I got the Rio for Christmas and have loved using it while running. It is lightweight and easy to either carry or use with the armband. However, I went on a long run with it and it rained during the run. The player was out of wack for a while. I had to reformat it according to the directions on the SonicBLUE website. After reformatting and letting it sit for a while it returned to normal. I would just advise that the company's claim that it is "built to withstand the elements" doesn't include rain as one of the elements that it is built to withstand.

Summary: Great!!
Review: I'm listening to mine right now. I got it this morning (for christmas). I haven't found a problem with it. The MP3 to computer connection is great, battery life is great, sound it great, plus its about 2 inches tall, so I can go wherever I want with it. The more I use it the more I like it. The only thing that I would suggest you buy with it would be a memory card. 128MB holds about 30 songs. Get a 512MB extension card, and you'll be rocking on for hours. Good buy, I haven't seen a reason to get another. I love it, i think you would too.

Summary: Important note before buying - iTunes support only for Mac
Review: This product is probably one of the best solid-state MP3 players out there, especially for the price. Though I would like to mention a few drawbacks that aren't readily evident.1. The package does not specify that the player only works with the Macintosh version of iTunes. I use iTunes on my PC as my jukebox software and was frustrated to find that I can only use Rio's proprietary software or Real's application to sync files to the player, both of which are mediocre applications. 2. If you are intending on using the provided arm-band, you should know that the player has to be placed in a rubber cradle in order to be attached to the band. The cradle makes the player a bit more bulky and also makes it harder to press the buttons and makes it quite difficult to fit the USB cable into the socket.

Summary: Excellent value for the money
Review: I chose the Rio S35S because of three factors: value, value, value. I was not disappointed. The Rio S35S is a low-cost, full-feature MP3 player that delivers the best performance for the money that I've seen so far. This is *not* a super-size dynamo like the iPod. The Rio comes with only 128Mb built-in. In other words, a 10GB iPod can hold roughly 70 Rios. The Rio doesn't include all the neat features of an iPod, and downloading files takes longer. BUT, a 10GB iPod sets you back $300, while the Rio costs less than $120. If you have an extra $300 to spend on a portable player that you might lose or break, have stolen, or see obsoleted in a year's time, get the iPod. But if you want something *now* that works fine and will last you until 10GB costs $100, then get a Rio. If you're really hung up about the 128Mb storage, spend $80 and get a 256MB add-on card. You'll have 384MB of storage. Then spend an extra 2-3 hours picking out the songs you *really* want (instead of downloading albums at a time). I like my Rio, it does the job with only a few minor hassles. It worked right out of the box. The sound is good, operation is dirt simple. Next Xmas I am guessing that MP3 players will be twice as powerful for half the price. And if you doubt this, I will tell you that my first Sony portable CD player cost $300; today's equivalent Sony costs $100. And that's for a device that has *mechanical parts* (the non-hard drive ones). The economy of scale for a device with no moving parts is simply amazing, and the economies of scale for hard drives is pretty darn good as well (120GB hard drives for $100!?) I would be willing to guess that we'll eventually have flash memory MP3 players for $50, and hard drive players with 10-20GB drives for $100-$150. Why pay primo for something before then?

Summary: Good Player Overall
Review: I've owned a couple of players over the year and I still like Rio's backlight display. It has a good shape to it and fits nicely in your hand. It has a good rubber casing and the buttons are easy to press.
The features are nice on this player, a stopwatch, time, equalizer and FM radio. It's size let's you but in you pocket or you can use the belt clip to carry it.
The Tuner reception needs much improvement but still if out in the open or in a large gym it seems to get OK reception. To use the armband you actually use the belt clip to attach it to the armband and it doesn't feel too secure while on the tread mill so I rather just have it in my pocket. Skipping through songs is easy, on downfall is if you stop during a song it doesn't resume at the moment when you stopped it'll just resume at the beginning of the song. Overall it's a good player and you get what you pay for but room for improvement in the rio music manager. Also this is for Sonic Blue: When are you guys ever going to change you're earphones, they're one of the worst designs out there and it doesn't seemed to have changed over the years.
