I bought the rio800 mp3 player :)

[Sinecure]

Well after saving all my money from designs and client work and putting it towards post secondary education, I finally decided to treat myself! I purchased a new rio800 mp3 player and also bought some DJ style headphones

Heres what it looks like: http://www.riohome.com/products/rio800.htm

Do I could turn on winamp and listen to my mp3s that way, but I prefer the sweet sound from the headphones Its really nice, I have 128 megs. If anyone is considering purchasing an mp3 player, I suggest the rio800. Plug and Play with windows XP and windows media player supports the device for drag and drop music transfer

Infact, is so stylish I am having to fend the ladies off with a stick!!
Well not really, but I hope to
Happy belated New Year everyone

iPod! *me does crazed worship dance*

[Sinecure]

Actually I would prefer the ipod over the rio800 any day, but unfortunatly its not available for PC yet. But when it does, damn its going to be popular!

i thought i read somewhere there was a third party program that made it work with windows.

[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.

[Sinecure]

nice...really nice..

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

I've been interested in getting the Creative Nomad. 6gb storage space. I have tons of mp3 and 100-200mb of storage isnt enough for me. I'd mostly use it in the car.

Geez, a Ni-MH battery ...

[Kaizen]

Got get one of these...

Any recommendations.

[Sinecure]

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!!~

Ahh, I see - thanks for the info
cu,

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.
