Advantages Compact, very easy to use, great sound Disadvantages I have found none yet.
...I have been using this player for two months now and I must say it is the wisest investment I have made in a long time. The Rio is very compact and user friendly. The package includes, the player, headphones, carry case, arm strap, and complete step by step instructions. You also recieve, on disc, an all in one music manager that makes it a breeze to keep all your favorite songs organized. You simply find the songs you like download them into the music manager and directly into the player. I do recommend this Rio mp3 player to anyone looking for good sound and very easy management tools. Wether you are an experienced computer user, or a complete novice this player is definitely user friendly. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate it a 9. With 128 MB built in memory this little powerhouse can easily hold up to 4 hours of your favorite music...

Review of RioS30S Portable Sport 64MB MP3 Player w/FM Tuner by
TLRosa
taken from ciao.co.uk
Advantages durable, easy to use and carry, nice design Disadvantages low storage space
...The Rio Sport has held up well in the past year, with no software or hardware problems that I could tell. Even though it has been dropped several times it still keeps working, and nothing has broken off of it.
The music quality is good for a low cost MP3 player and very easy to use, they have provided software that is even compatible across different platforms.
The Rio has a few nice features such as: shuffle, bookmark your favorite songs, a hold mode, 6 language selections,an equalizer, repeat options, also included is time and date, and even a stop watch. The stop watch is a little difficult to figure out if you don't read the instructions, but it's great while jogging or running to keep your time.
If I want to store more songs on the player, all I have to do is purchase a disk with more space, which can be cheap...
