Man, it's out too soon!

by johnnyblade , Mar 21 '00
Pros: small, first mp3 player
Cons: only holds 1 battery, less features.
I believe that Rio 300 was the very first mp3 player that came out in the US. I may be wrong, but seems like it to me.
The Rio mp3 player is a great mp3 player, but the bad part is that it's build-in memory card, so that means if you messed up...

On second thought

by redhotchili26 , Sep 11 '00
Pros: cheap, as opposed to anything else
Cons: very limited space, space upgrade very expensive
The mp3 player is a product that has been overrated. I, a couple months back, bought the diamond rio pmp3 300. It was nice, but i was shocked at how little it could hold, but that didn't sway me much, because i still didn't want to be bound to cds and...

You will fall in love...

by CJCraft , Jun 01 '00
Pros: great features, great products, great price...
Cons: Only 32MB...
Personally I am really happy with this product. It works great and has a nice feature set. I am not saying that you can't find something better but I doubt you will find it for the same price.

I gave this product a 9 out of 10.

by quanwuan , Jul 03 '01
Pros: Small,Lightweight,no skipping,with the right earphones its a great player.
Cons: Really not enough memory but you can buy a cheap 16mb upgrade at diamonds website.
This is the Rio pmp300. This mp3 player was the one that started the portable mp3 revolution even though it wasn't the first. The Rio is made by dimond multimedia and its a portable mp3 player with 32mb of flash memory. I got this mp3 player for 55.00...

Good for few

by jackkhavinson , Jun 01 '01
Pros: good quality sound, easy to use, decent software, lightweight
Cons: very little memory, long download times, weak battery cover, sound quality, tech-support
I got this little toy as a birthday gift, and I'm not going to lie. When I first installed the software and tried it out, I was blown away. After a day or two, though, the novelty were off. Maybe I expected a little much from this first generation...

Cons: no 'off' button, SDMI
After having several hundred MP3's, i asked for a RioPmp300 for Christmas, and got one. This has been a dream come true, it is small, duriable, and good sound quility. Once i got one, within a paycheck's time, 4 of my pals got the rio, and a month...

NO WAY!

by Peedj , Jan 08 '00
Pros: Small and Light
Cons: Too Little Space, TOO EXPENSIVE
After receiving this player as a gift for x-mas, at first I was amazed by what it offered. It was incredibly small, and extremely light. 32 MB of space does seem like a lot when you first think about it HOWEVER, its really not!! I was incredibly...

Paper Weight or Music Device?

by XXBabyEXX , Sep 10 '00
Pros: Good 2-3 weeks, but then only good for a Paper Weight
Cons: Horrible Bass and Trebble controls. Also, Bad Battery compartment placement
As you might know, Diamond PMP300 was rated highly is the Best Buy and Circuit City adds, but was inaccurate and very false advertising. For Instance, I bought mine at my local Best Buy store and the first few weeks were fantastic. With the mind...

by esse , Sep 06 '00
Pros: No moving parts, can make mixes easily, no skipping, sturdy
Cons: Expensive, Antiquated
I first got my RIO PMP300 as a Christmas gift and I have been satisfied ever since. It is a sport and exercise maniac’s dream. It is great to save money. It is a pop teen's dream. With all these advantages it was a little expensive and there are better...

Best for working out

by jbs , Oct 25 '99
Pros: small, lightweight, "skip-proof"
Cons: limited storage capacity, mediocre encoder
As a consumer product, the Rio is very well designed. The controls are intuitive to anyone who has used a CD player. The device itself has a reasonably solid feel, aided by the lack of the moving parts and opening doors found on other portable music...

Little Player, Big Value

by spamnoggin , Aug 07 '00
Pros: Small, lightweight, cheap
Cons: Doesn't hold a lot of music
The Diamond Rio PMP300 portable music player is perfect. It's so lightweight that I can hardly feel it on my belt, the quality of sound is good, and for the low price it holds a lot of music. What I like best is that it's tiny, smaller than my wallet....

Entry level MP3 player

by cymsteve , Oct 04 '00
Pros: Easy to use, compact, fairly cheap, works well
Cons: Lack of memory, outdated look, poor headphones
I've had my Rio player for almost a year now and although it is the most basic model on the market it has served me well.
I'm a marathon runner and I mainly use it to help the miles go by on my long training runs. The software is easy to use and...
