Summary: Terrible product - skips all the time
Review: Don't waste your money on this one. I purchased the SP90 for Christmas and it gave me a full 3 hours of performance before it failed miserably. I couldn't figure out why. The disc kept spinning so the battery level wasn't low. Only there was no music coming out of the player at all. I tried regular audio CD's and data CD's (with MP3 songs) but it still would not perform. I've made about 150 online purchases in my life and have had to return maybe 3 items. This will be one of them.

Pro's

None, even the case looks like a toy

Con

When it worked, the player skipped constantly. Unacceptable since I used to have a Panasonic CD player with 40 sec memory that never skipped on me even when jogging.

In cold weather, the disc would not spin up to speed and thus would not produce music.

When battery runs low, CD spins but no music produced

Player takes forever to seek MP3's.

Short battery life

Summary: It's the Tightest MP3 Player for a Krazy Price
Review: It has tons of features including preset equilizers like Rock, Jazz, Classic, Ultra Bass, and more and it's better than the philips because it has more capability's and has a LCD screen which shows the songs titles I would recomend this if u want a mp3 player don't get any other than Rio because there the worlds leader in mp3 music

Summary: Poor Quality Player
Review: I bought this player and made a mp3 cd on my computer (at a speed of 2X)After putting the cd into the player and waiting for ten minutes for the player to load, a message said "No Disc" After following the instructions for this problem on the website, the problem persists. I exchanged the player for the same on and had the exact same problem. Neither of these players played regualr audio cds either, on looked as though it was playing, but there was no volume, the other just didn't play. I strongly suggest you don't waste your time and money on this unpredictable, player of poor quality and performance.

Summary: Great cd player
Review: It doesnt have all the features of the SP100 but for its price its the best mp3-cd player on the market. You dont find many quality players for under 100. I have yet to find any flaws with the player.
I stongly reccommend this player to anybody looking for a new cdplayer. Sure ti doesnt have the backlit display but hey thats what flashlights are made for if your in the dark and need light. The only feature i wish it did have the the upgradeable codecs. Otherwise great player for the cost.

Summary: simple and fun
Review: If you burn CDs and want an easy way to play them on your stereo or car or just directly into your brain via some headphones, this is a perfect toy for you. Not only can you play CDRs but also CDRWs which basically means you can record then re record your favorite MP3 for any mood your in. I'll bet you couldn't sit through all the music you could record on a single CDR or CDRW. We're talking about 10 hours of solid music you program. You could, just as an example, put all five Police Albums on a single disc and drive to San Diego from San Francisco and listen to them all.

The sound is digital quality with phat bass and crystal clear highs. The unit even features several equalization pre sets to further fine tune the sound you like or compensate for a less than adequate car stereo. I used the car adapter and plugged this into my car tape deck and can't see why I'd haul 7 or 8 CDs when I could just rip those onto one disc and have weeks of commute music for any mood I'd be in. Rock sounds awesome and Jazz even better.
Best present I got this season!!!

Summary: Very good product for the mp3 fan in all of us.
Review: I was going to get one of these things and I was looking to buy a m*morex brand one but i read alot of bad reviews. I then stumbled across this and read all of these other rewviews and I liked what I saw. This thing rocks, I am listening to a cd I just made with 219 mp3's at 128 bit. They sound just as good as they do on winamp.I suggest getting this if you are looking for a cd player that also plays mp3's. There are 2 vital things that you need to know if you have trouble with your songs or anything else...
1. Burn the mp3's at 2x or slower(yeah I know...slow but it works!)
2.The ones at 128 bit work best, ones higher and lower skip sometimes(dont worry, most mp3's are 128 bit to start out with

Summary: Disappointing ESP and Battery Life
Review: This product had two major drawbacks: First, the ESP, which is represented to be 120 seconds, is much much shorter for standard audio CDs. That is supposed to be 10sec/40sec. However, it is the shortest 40 seconds I have ever experienced. Moreover, the included instructions, online user guide and telephone tech. support are all inaccurate as to how that function is used. (It's not a switch, it's in the user preferences menu).

The second problem is battery life. I got through 2.5 CDs with the included alkaline batteries.

All in all, you would probably be better off spending a little more money to get a better product.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: average performance! I expected more.
Review: The technology is good and the rio sp90 is useful if you are doing a lot of travelling. If you are sitting in front of the computer all the time I would recommend you to use winamp and be happy. If you want to use it during workout, you are probably well off buying an IPOD.
The anti-skip feature is not effective and that is a big pain.
Sp90 is not worth 99$ . If you can get it for 60$ it is worth it.

Summary: Good mp3 player, with some cons
Review: When i first got this MP3-CD player, i thought it was the best investment on a cd player i ever made. Then, after some tedious work on the computer, like making the cd readable on everything possible, i got it to work. For some reason, the damn thing doesn't read my .wma files. I don't get it. It just says "PROTECTED" and moves on to the next track, very frustrating. Good thing i have an MP3 converter, so i can change my CD files to MP3s. Another con is that this thing skips easily, VERY easily. You have to almost hold it at a standstill so this thing won't skip.
However, i do like the relatively long battery life, and the controls on this thing. THe sound on it is great too.
To sum it up, i really like this cd player, even with it's somewhat annoying problems that it gives me.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Batteries don't last that long
Review: This is an average cd/mp3 player, it's nice that it supports CD text and CDRW. I've never had it run for 15 hours, this is due to the anti-skip function; this feature spends a lot of electricity, and there isn't a way to turn it off. You'll find yourself buying pairs of alcaline batteries after 2 to 4 hours of use. The lack of a backlit display doesn't help either, save your money for some other cd player. Cheap things become expensive in the long run...
