Advantages: MP3 player that has it all!

Disadvantages: Not much memory, but that can be upgraded

The Rio 600 is very good in my opinion. It comes with a USB connection so you can download music from the internet and zap it onto your player using the supplied software. With only 32Mb of supplied storage it doesn't take all that many songs, but it allows you to have a system off "low quality-more songs" or "high quality-less songs".
It's features are very well organised and everything is in a nice, compact design so it does fit in your pocket. I liked the idea of a "hold" switch so that if, for example, you're on your bike while listening to music, you can switch "hold" on and it secures all the internal parts from being bumped around. Very clever.
I found it very nifty because it was a good player in itself, but you could even switch the covers, making it a different colour.
Memory is upgradable which is good if you want to put more songs on it.
The players quality is excellent, comfortable to hold etc. The earphones plug into the same socket as the USB connector, saving a lot of space!
Even the LCD display hasn't been skimped on, because it shows properly drawn letters, not just digital-style letters like some other players do.
All in all this is a cool MP3 player, well worth considering. Just pop in some more memory and you can put twice the number of songs onto it. The actual player, software and flexibility of it all make this quite something.
