    Good Points: Size, weight, rugged build quality, battery life.


    Bad Points: Small screen, hard to read, can't use playlists with expansion cards, music manager software very basic.


    General comments: I bought the Rio Cali because it was expandable and because a friend had a Rio player that looked good and worked well. When it arrived I loaded it up with music and everything seemed fine until I tried using the playlists. When you have 512k of MP3 files you want to be able to split them up into album-sized playlists. If you do this with the Rio Cali the player will ignore any files that are on the expansion card.

    Many calls and emails to the tech support lines later, I finally got a confirmation from Rio that none of their players support playlists on expansion cards. By this time it was five months after I bought the thing so I decided it was too late to try to get my money back.

    A pity, because it really is a good player, but I am going to buy something else next time that will do what I want.

I have dropped this player many times, including on my concrete garage floor, with no scraping done to the player or it's screen. It has rubber material protecting it, and is extremely stury. It also has expandable memory, because it's size, 128mb, is somewhat small. Another gr ...
