Summary: The Software Issue is INFURIATING!
Review: I purchased the Lyra 1080 about a year and a half ago. The sound quality is decent, the expandibility is good, battery life is so-so...So why only two stars? software software software...and horrible support. Since the 1080 technically plays mpy files instead of MP3 files...this requires a software conversion of some sorts. I'm currently deployed in the middle of nowhere, with a restrictive internet connection on a computer that is not the host for the MP3's...and it is impossible to find the software for the 1080. I found the ROM update...put it on the laptop and ran it...and low and behold, the rca lyra configuration utility wasn't installed, so it wouldn't update the device. All it ended up with was yet another software mp3 player on my laptop.
Basically, it comes down to this: If you lose the initial loading software CD, this becomes a paperweight.

Summary: Software Complaints
Review: Although I do not know much about such items, I was pretty dissapointed with this item.
The expandable memory and ergonomic design of the item is great but the software is garbage. There is an update to make this device compatable with Windows Media Player so that the customer would be allowed to use mediaplayer to download songs. Either the directions are incorrect or the udate does not work. Not very user friendly.
The real thing that gets me though is that, when I go to the official music software site, MusicMatch, I cannot download songs that they sell on the website! After downloading songs purchased at MusicMatch, it won't send them to the player because of licensing problems.
I should have bought an ipod.
