Advantages: None Disadvantages: Battery Life and Cd recognition
After accumulating 100s of CD's over the past few years i decided it was time to get an Mp3 cd player, so i wouldnt have to haul around all my favourite cd's in a carry case, i could compile them all onto just a few CD-r's and carry them around,

After accumulating 100s of CD's over the past few years i decided it was time to get an Mp3 cd player, so i wouldnt have to haul around all my favourite cd's in a carry case, i could compile them all onto just a few CD-r's and carry them around,
The Argos catalogue had a few mp3 cd players at the time, and this Rio-Volt was the one which i finally opted to go for, costing me around £100 with batteries and headphones included,
The Cd player managed to work fine to my expectations for the first few weeks, selecting tracks and recognising Title name and ID3 tags quickly and readily. IT was after this that the battery life within the CD player started to slip, Good quality batteries would only last a day or so (not with extended use!).
To add to this, the Cd-r's were sometimes no longer being recognised, and i would have to take the cd out and reinsert it to try again, much to the same result. To add to this, the manufacture of this CD player was very flimsy and plasticy, not to the same quality as would be expected of a Sony mp3 cd player of roughly the same value.
The Volume control was limited to a small range, never reaching quite the volume you need. The sound quality was much dependant on the mp3 quality but there are a few preset EQ controls to improve listen-ability. The riovolt is simple to get used to, and the instructions were simple but to the point!.
The look and design left a lot to be desired in terms of innovative and eye catching. The range of features are minimal, back to basics for this CD Player with only Random and Repeat - no end of fun! If this cd player did work as intended and as advertised it would be a priceless gadget, but as it is, its worthless.
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 CDMP3 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 on one CD!
The machine itself is quite solid, similar to a normal largeish portable CDplayer. 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 ...
Advantages: Music on the Move , And Very Cheap after initial set up Disadvantages: Cost of initial set up (if you dont already have the kit)
, and smaller units mean that this is the most convenient option for a lot of people.
The next step is by far the best option for anyone with a PC. Do this and you really are set up for life. First of all invest in a (preferably Burn proof) CD Rewriter (I have a Mirai CD1300BP around 160 GBP). Then buy one of these beauties….
The Rio Volt portable costs 149.99 GBP from Amazon UK and the following blurb is taken from their sales guff:
“The Rio Volt portable MP3-CD enables you to listen to standard audio CDs as well as the MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files that you've recorded to CD-Rs and CD-RWs, letting you enjoy more than 20 hours of digital audio from one CD (or around 250 songs). Plus, Rio Volt's large backlit LCD supports ID3 tags and CD Text, simplifying song identification from any compatible disc, while 120-second ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Rio CD / MP3 player
To tell the truth i actually recieved this perosnal CD player in the mail when i switched bank accounts and thought that i wouldnt have much use for the product, but i now find myself increasingly using this over my trusty Diamond Rio PMP 300 Mp3player.
The product is very minimal for a personal CDplayer, with just room for the CD, no extra space like with a square design. This circular design also allows it to fit into smaller spaces more easily.
It has the basic features that a CD player should have like repeat, play and pause, no extra features that could take up extra space. It has a very small screen located on the top left hand corner that displays only the needed information such as track length and any features in use.
The CD player is albe to host a number of different headphone designs, even those ones on airlines ...
