Review NaN of

Price Paid:  $400.00 from compaq.com

Summary:
once it worked it was fine but it was getting it working that was the problem. I had two of them over about 1 year and the second one is broken and now out of waranty. Compaq (now HP) doesn't know how to fix it so thay want to go halves with me in a new one. im happy to do that coz i want an mp3 player like it, however if it doesn't work then thats it.

Strengths:
good quality sound
doesn't skip

Weaknesses:
breaks easily

Review NaN of , from san francisco

Price Paid:  $250.00 from Fry's Electronics

Summary:
The Rioport bundled software is a travesty. I've finally given up on it's restrictive features, and come to find out that there are no other alternatives, other than Windows Mediaplayer, which is NOT an alternative.

All in all, it may come high time to pass my mp3 player down in the family, and get a new one--from another company.

Strengths:
Hardware is top of the line.

Weaknesses:
Software is COMPLETE GARBAGE.

Review NaN of , from Toronto, ON, CANADA

Price Paid:  $100.00 from pcmall.com

Summary:
if you can buy the refurb model for $100 i highly reccomend it. $200 is pretty steep in my books...still worth it tho. the small size of the player rocks...just clip it onto your belt and you'll forget it's there.

Strengths:
Small size, great sound quality, very durable casing, and low price. Good battery life in comparison to other mp3 players.

Weaknesses:
File transfer is a bit on the slow side, but this is due to the mmc memory cards that it uses.

Similar Products Used:
Sony discman, walkman.
