General Comments

I'm surprised at the other reviews: my Rio Carbon has been performing for over a year now, with no complaint. True, I only use it in public transport for listening to podcasts, but that makes it much better value for money than the extortionate iPod.
Small and light, it fits in a jacket or shirt pocket. Easy to use, great Music manager software. A happy user! Note that the same USB cable is used to transfer music and charge the battery (the power adapter has a standard USB socket), which I found very clever: why can't mobile phone manufacturers use the same idea???
It's only because I haven't compared with other brands that I'm not giving better ratings.
