(4 out of 5)Rio 800 128MG
GREAT player if it worked. It comes with a rechargeable battery, which is the downfall if this product. Yes batteries do cost more but who cant buy batteries once in a while. the rechargeale battery never works, i've had to send my player back in twice since a got it. if not for the battery I would of given this player 5 stars. Has great sound, bunch of cool stuff; voice recorder, equlizer, backlight, ect. But it dosn't work that often. I would go with the rio 600, it uses regular batteries, plus has pretty much the same stuff as the rio 800 and its cheaper!
(1 out of 5)Crappy MP3 player
I got my rio 800 about a half a year ago refurbished and it is the lamest piece of garbage i have set my eyes on. The rechargeable battery lasts for about 1 hour and i have even put my own 1.2 volt batteries in the backpack with more mAh but it only lasts about 15 minutes longer. the black trim is also falling off. DO NOT BUY THIS MP3 PLAYER. If you have about 100 bucks to spend buy a mini disc player! I just got one and one minidisc for about 2 bucks has many times more memory that my rio. if you have 150 bucks then buy a 20 gig archos special edition.... anything above that get abetter ipod but in my opinion mini discs are the way to go, hardly any moving parts, group function, discs are cheap, and rewritable, i could go on forever but dont get an old rio product, if you are going to buy from rio and you dont need a bunch of storage, get one of their new players.
