General Comments

The Diamond Rio Riot 20GB Digital Audio Player has 20gb of storage at a lot less money than an iPod and the DJ function is flexible and quick. The inbuilt FM radio is probably the most distinguishing feature. If you get fed up with your own tracks (and let's be fair, with 20Gig it's gonna take a while) you can just tune in to your favourite preset stations and the internal aerial is surprisingly good for such a little box.
The software that comes with it is the RealJukebox for the PC and I have a problem with the intrusiveness of Real products but it does the job. It is kind of bulky when you use the supplied case but then it has got a belt clip so it's not too bad and the bigger size just presses down on the extra cash I've got in my pocket from not buying an iPod. The playlist creator I find a little fiddly but then I'm just getting used to it.
