| enderwiggin's Full Review: Rio PMP-500 (64 MB) MP3 Player |
not the rio, but i do know where to get one. among other places,www.computergeeks.com has them for sale, they are called the genica mp3 cd players, and have approximately the same dimensions and stuff as a diskman, but they play 12 hours worth of cd quality audio on a cd-r. why is this good? because insted of paying about 1 dollar per MINUTE of music, like you would for flashmemory for a rio, you would pay about 10 cents per HOUR of music if it was on a mp3 cd. does this sound good to you? it should! but some important things to note, first off, about 1 in three units they ship is defective, so you will have to ship it back and get a new one, that is a huge pain in the butt, and secondly, it is really flimsy, if you want to mount it in a glove box and play mp3s forever, you are in luck, if you want to put it into a backpack full of books, calcutlator, etc, it will be dead in a month. it is portable lightweight, not portable strong. but at 99$ who really cares, just take care of the thing and when it dies, it dies, its got a 1 year warrenty so its not a really big risk. and the price/performance ratio can't be beat!! (note to epinions:I really like this product, so I am trying to get the word out, if you don't like my cross reviewing, please make your mp3 player section up to date and I will be happy to put this in its rightfull place.)
