General Comments

For a piece of equipment with no moving parts, the Rio Forge Sport MP3 player did not last long. I've emailed the company twice, and only received a form letter in return... essentially "...there is an out-of-warranty replacement fee of $69..." Well, with my extra US $69, I'd prefer to investigate another company, with a longer warranty period, and more confidence in their product.

    I could not agree more! What a cheap piece of junk! Rio is off my list of reliable products. Rio should stop stinking up the industry with their cheap, unreliable junk.

    I couldn't disagree more! For the money, I don't think you can find a better player. Maybe you guys picked up a virus from some illegal downloads or something. The expandable memory is a real plus. Its like being able to to throw a different cassette into an old Sony Walkman to instantly change or add to your play list. Of course you don't really have to worry with 512 mb of internal memory and an FM tuner that you can record from. I like the Rio Forge alot, it is easy to use, built tough and comes with an arm band for jogging and working out.
