Advantages: 6GB space for a small price, good sound quality.

Disadvantages: Battery life is pretty pathetic, headphones arent great

When i got this Mp3 last year it was about £70.00 but i think its gone down in price since then.

The first problem i had with it was the fact that it kept on crashing, but after about 2 days that problem never occured again thankfully. The headphones that came bundled with it had absolutely stunning sound quality but broke within 2 days.

The Actually player has an inbuilt microphone but hasnt got great quality.

Ive found the 6GB to be ample for what i need and im a pretty heavy music listener, though some people may find the 6GB a bit lacking at times.

I also have too recharge my rio every night because the battery life dies within about 4 hours.

I reccomend getting this if you need cheap player that has a big size, but i would anticipate that another Mp3 would be needed within a year.

5/10

Summary: good size, good price, bad headphones and bad battery

Yeah its easy to get through menu's, well hard to get to grips with but once youve tried it 2 or 3 times its easy enough then :)

How easy is this to use? Can you easily select songs and playlists?
