Advantages: plays CDR's CDRW's full of MP3's! 12 albums on one CD! Disadvantages: None really, though I wish they could have made it with a remote control.
I recieved the Rio volt CD MP3 player a couple of days ago. A friend purchased it from the States for me. It is not yet out in the UK, but its price will be around £170. I bought it for £120.
So far it has done everything stated on the box. I can play CDR's (700mb ones!) and CDRW's. With no problems what so ever. I am able to file them in seperate folders and the player allows you to search through the file system. I can now store 12 albums worth ... ...similar to a normal largeish portable CD player. It is not one of those slim line versions.
Sound quality: is as good as I could expect from MP3! I have it plugged into my hi fi (no not a small mini hifi - I am talking about proper setup Tannoy 636 floor standing speakers etc.) Obviously not as good as a proper CD, but I am very happy with the sound output.

Plus, Rio Volt's large backlit LCD supports ID3 ... ...listening almost anywhere. While the Rio Volt is the first portable CD player in the family of Rio digital audio players, the manufacturer was thinking ahead: the device supports firmware upgrades to accommodate future digital audio formats.
Amazingly, the Rio Volt sports a playback time of up to 15 hours on two AA batteries (included), making it the first disc player we know of that can't play a single CD in its entirety. Don't fret, however--you'll ...

Advantages: Cheap, good quality output Disadvantages: None for the price
This beast can play both MP3s and standard CDs, but most people will buy it for MP3 playback. Skipping is no problem - the track is read into memory, so this player is ideal for use in-car with a cassette adaptor.

An immediate improvement in functionality can be obtained by downloading the SP-100 firmware, editting the first few bytes to ... ...the resultant file to a blank CD. Insert this CD into the player (with a new set of batteries or mains adaptor in use) and swith on. Within a minute the player with have the facilities of the SP-100 player, except for the backlight.
