Summary: I though it would be a good player.....
Review: I bought this player of a few days ago and i thought it would be great. I put some songs on it and it worked fine, until i was on track 17 and wanted to listen to track 8. I started pushing the "previous" button and all of a sudden i hear a loud pop in my ear and the system resets. This happened to me about 4 or 5 times before I decided to return it. I suggest not to buy from RCA...I have bought other products from them before and they turned out just like this one.

Summary: So cute!
Review: A cute MP3 player. You can probably get one made by Now Evolution for cheaper, but Evolution's quality is questionable. This one seems more durable, and music transfers are smooth if a slow over USB 1.1. The product picture here doesn't do justice to the screen, which is actually pretty clear. I think the sound output is pretty good. Web support however, is not the best.

Summary: Best Bang for Your Buck
Review: I've had this MP3 player for a few weeks now and so far, so good. It pretty much has everything you need except for a backlit display and an FM Tuner. It comes with 128 MB of memory, so you can fit a lot of music in there right out of the box. I added a 128mb card and was able to load 50 songs and probably could have added a few more because some were long songs. Moving the songs over to the player was easy, all I did was connect the USB cable (included) to my pc and it recognized the player as a new drive. The unit itself will display the song name as well as the artist name. You can play the songs alphabetically (default) or randomly or you can even program a custom order. It has several 'equalizer' modes: Flat, Bass, Pop, Rock and Jazz.The headphones included are different. They are not ear buds (I never could use those) nor are they the standard kind with the band over your head. These have individual earpieces that you clip on 'over your ear' (like some of those hands free sets for phones). They work well enough, but take a little getting used to.
All in all you can't beat it for the price. I'd recommend it highly if you can live without the FM Tuner and don't plan on using it in total darkness.

Summary: little but almost perfect
Review: I have been using this product for 2 months and first of all i am pleased to own it. The first thing that makes this product different is its size. it is really very small though you can even carry it in your pocket.This ability provides you to listen to music anywhere and anytime, you wont have to carry these large cd players which is a very hard job and which makes your apperance bad. All i am saying is thet nobody understands where that music comes from when they see that headphones but no players but it is hidden in your pocket. The second satisfying property is that its memory i dont think that nobody needs to listen more than thirty songs at a time and if you really bored of them change them all. it also provides multimedia card for more memory and it is quite useful.The only thing that makes the product almost perfect is the money you give to batteries or the time for recharching them , it is like a monster of the batteries and finishes them before 4 hours that is one bad thing. Note: Keep the player away from the water.

Summary: Of the four MP3 Players I've Owned, this is the best
Review: The RCA Lyra 128MB for [this price] is an incredible deal. Here are my experiences with the four different MP3 players that I have owned: Rio 64MB:
Not enough memory
Terrible Earphones
LCD Froze when snowboarding
No armband
Clunky controls and PC interface Nike/Phillips 128MB:
USB Drivers wouldn't load on WIN98 SE PC
Impossible Technical Support
Terrible instruction manual
No expansion slot?
I never got to play with it but being rechargeable sounded cool RCA Lyra 1080 128MB [Blue Unit]:
Belt clip is a joke
Personally, I don't need an FM tuner
Clunky Controls
Great headphones RCA Lyra 128MB:
Great armband
Small, light, compact design
Simple controls
Windows based drag and drop loading or Musicmatch software
Good headphones
Simple 'Key Lock' mechanism
Great Price

Summary: Great Sound in Slim Tiny Package!
Review: I finally jumped on the mp3 bandwagon, and couldn't be happier with my purchase of the Lyra 1071. It is amazingly small and light but has great sound. I bought it to use while owrking out and use the enclosed arm band, but also just use it while it's in my pocket. It also great for traveling while on planes. With a 128 MB expansion card, I have over four hours of music. And music is super easy to load on - two drivers (one for the Lyra, one for the expansion card) appear and you can just drag and drop mp3's and wma's in their folders. I highly recommend this - bought it risk free at circuit city knowing i could take it back any time within 30 days , but of course I decided to keep it!

Summary: great product
Review: i recently bought the rca lyra, it is light weight and very easy to use. The sound quality is quite good too. I was attracted to this product because of the expandable memory and the reasonable price. The only downfall is that there is no backlight.

Summary: I am impressed..
Review: As others have already stated, this device does have it's own share of little glitches. but nothing major. I think the player has excellent sound and battery management. The interface is also very user-friendly-- almost dumb proof. One think this device does which no other comparable player from other manufacture does is to play mp3PRO files. These new file formats have incredible compression algorithms to save you even more space. BTW, this device is supposed support only 64kbps-96kbps mp3PRO encoded files, but I gave it files encoded even at 18kbps (for voice recording) and it was able to play it without a hitch. For the next revision of Lyra my wish list are as follows:
- Faster USB connection
- Greater expandability (now it goes up to 256mb)
- AM/FM tuner added
- Voice recording feature
- Better compatibility with the MusicMatch (ID tagging)
- Iron out the Windows glitches

Summary: Good for windows 2000 bad for windows ME
Review: I use two computers. The RCA Lyra 128 MB worked great on the computer with windows 2000. It literally took about 4 minutes to start loading songs. Unfortunately the computer with windows 2000 is at my work. My computer at home has windows ME. The RCA Lyra does not work with windows ME. I tried loading firmware, and plugins both from the enclosed CD and from websites, but the computer using Windows ME fails to recognize the device, and assign it a drive. It is too bad I don't have windows 2000 at home. I unfortunately have to return this and find another player.
