I bought this Mp3 player 6 months ago. I was a bit scared of them as I hadnt used one before but i was really shcoked how easy it was to put music from CD to the player.

The 5mb capacity is huge and i put my whole CD collection (aroud 60 cds) onto the player.

Sound quality is very good. volume range is fine.

the controls and setup are incredibly easy to use. You can make your own playlists and play music by genre or even year released.

it has a voice recorder which i have never used!

My sister has an Ipod but she now wants a Rio after borrowing mine for the day!

Battery life is really excellent and is still at 20 hours even after 6 months regular use ( ive heard ipods lose their batter life quite quickly)

overall i think it is excellent value for money and well worth considering as an alternative to an Ipod.

Needs a bit more detail but the main points you make are quite helpful. Good luck on future reviews.

Needs more detail, and I doubt mp3 players can be hard to use. ::Oli::
