Diamond Rio 500

....Sorry! :0> The Rio500, the new generation MP3 player from Diamond, but what is the differance beetween this and the earily models... Well, there are a number of differances, the main one being... *Memory. The Rio500 has 64MB of memory (Upgradable to 96MB) which is roughly an hour of music at the normal (128) bit rate. The Rio300/600 have both got 32MB - so this is a big improvment on the two. Don`t be fooled by the Rio600, it has a similar price, but you get less memory - it is more expandable though - up to 372MB, but you pay extra if you want more memory - in my opinion if you want a portable player with BIG memory buy the DAP ...

Last year I spent months searching for the perfect mp3 player for me. I searched all over the web, all over the world trying to find what I was looking for at a price I could afford. Finally I thought I had found it: A rio500 on offer for only £90! The same day I went out and bought it and I must say I was impressed. The rio500 has a great set of specifications and looks great too. It has 64Mb of in-built memory which is enough for about an hour of CD-quality music (128kb/s) and also has a smartmedia slot in the top of the player so extra memory can be put in if wanted. So far so good... When you switch it on and start listening the quality is quite good ...
