Review: There are scads of CD and MP3 players available today. Let me tell you why I bought the SONICblue Rio SP-250. For those of you who don’t know much about MP3 files, MP3s are really very much like highly compressed WAV files. WAV files are what...

Review: When I was going out to look for an MP3 CD player, I knew that there are many choices out there. First I've narrowed down my choices to the TDK Mojo, Samsung Yepp CD Player and the Rio Volt SP-250. But I've rejected Samsung, because of my concerns for...

Review: If you've read my review of the Kodak DC3200 digital camera, you might remember that this past X-Mas, I was blessed with $500 to fo with as I pleased. I jumped back and forth between several options for about a month. In the end, I decided to go on...

Yeah I know...

Pros: MP3&WMA, FM tuner, good sound, easy to operate, clear LCD, downloadable firmware, good batteries

Review: I have loved this player! I've had it for 2 years now, and I haven't got a single bad thing to say about it. I don't have a lot of comparisons, so I don't know if other players might have better sound (I can't complain about the sound on this one) or ...

Pros: Easy to use, great sound, lots of music in a small package.

Cons: Could be a bit more stylish. LCD remote should come standard.

The Bottom Line: BUY IT! You won't be sorry. Say you don't need all those features? Try looking into the SP50, SP90 & SP100. Also made by ReoVolt.

Review: I must say that I have had this baby for 2 weeks and I Love It! I love it so much I had to get one for my girlfriend also. We are both avid music listeners and enjoy many types of music. With MP3 technology I can save from 170 up to 200+ songs(equal...
