I bought the rio800 mp3 player :)

[Cyrus]

Ive got 2 mp3 players, both with their own qualities ..

First one I got was the Casio mp3 Watch which has 32 mb of memory ( not a lot I know ) and is VERY light ! I know the memory is a down-side but being so small and on my wrist .... it turns heads in the public ... which is exactly what I want haha

Second one is the Creative Nomad jukebox C ... this one has 30GB of memory . Thats eight ... 30GB !!! and Ive only filled it up 2 GB yet lol ! Its a great player ... and was the largest capacity jukebox when I bought it a couple of months back. The only disadvantage is that its the size of a cd player ... but that doesnt matter to me cos I use it for the car only ... TOP STUFF

Anyone else got better gadgets than me ?? lemme know

Personally i want the little sony mp3 player that takes memory sticks. But you need those white memory sticks and I am not sure it will play mp3s or not.

OIC.. Yeah i think I know which one you are talking about.. It looks roughly the shape of a coffee crisp,just not as long

wouldn't an mp3 cd player be a better option? You can get a car one for $200 in the UK so i would bet you can get a cheaper one in the States.

Well by doing that, the problem of skipping still arrises. Even though they have got major anti-skip protection on those things, with great battery life, skipping has always been a pet peve of mine

Nope, no compatibility issues with copyright stuff, everything works fineon mine Even my Britney spears works! heh lol jk.
As for the nomad, I wouldn't touch it with a 40ft pole. With normal duracel batteries it only lasts 10 minutes!~!!
I watched a litle thing on techtv about the nomad
With lithium batteries you get 6 hours, but at 10 bucks for a pack of four!! thats outragous!!~

Got get one of these...

Any recommendations.

Geez, a Ni-MH battery ...

Congrats

Hi Sinecure,
congrats
Nice choice, I'm looking for a decent mp3-player as replacement for my Sony MW7 (which sucks big-time - only Win98 ).
The Rio looks good and has nice specs, just two quick questions

Is there any copyright measure taken? (hopefully not, i.e. can I copy pure mp3s to rio and back again?)
How big is it?

thx,
-Tom

[Sinecure]

nice...really nice..

[Joe Gronlund]

looks nice , hows the sound?

[IanMFT]

yeah, I posted that.

Its from the same company that makes software for reading PC disks on the Mac and MAc on PC (forgot the name of it).

It's gonna be sick, I am definetly going to get an ipod when the price comes down.
