Newest Review: ... protection system is plastic. Hence one little fall could damage it completely, not good if you are on the move a lot ... more

 ... like I am! 2. Only 10 hours battery life! This is terrible when you think that most MP3 players nowadays have a battery life of 25 hours plus. Also it has no power adapter so it isn't possible to listen to music while in your home without wasting battery life. (when transferring tracks though it does gain power through the USB port) 3.

Premium Review Diamond Rio 600: Not Worth Your Time!!! (530 words)

I realised at some point in my boring life that I needed to listen to music on the move. I also realised I had a large amount of music on my computer (over 1000 tracks).

The Rio Mp3 player was the product that started the whole portable Mp3 player craze upon its original release and the Rio 600 is one of the latest models in this unique product range. The question is, faced with fresh competition from a now inundated market, can it still come out tops? WHAT IS MP3? ------------ For those who are new to mp3, it is an exciting new file format which allows music to be stored taking up relatively little space. Rio is supplied with software tools which help you in 'ripping' your audio CD's into the mp3 format and thus allowing you to play them on a Rio.
