Having read some of the other reviews on this product i felt that i had to get a point across to other potential buyers. Many people seemed a bit miffed about the memory space on this item (32mb as standard). Well they have every right to be a bit miffed although i must defend this hardware. You see, i have a rio600. Yes just the basic ... Read the complete review

I'd been looking around for a portable mp3/minidisc so I could carry my growing collection of mp3s around with me. After much deliberating I decided to purchase a Rio 600. The main reason I bought it was due to the price reduction (Reduced from 150-ish to 60 pounds). Also, the features seemed adequate for my needs (ie One AA ... Read the complete review

Introductions… The Diamond Rio 600… A wonder of mans ingenuity, Sexy, elegant and highly sophisticated. This little beauty was the first in the Rio MP3 Revolution and with its endless array of options is it surprising that it was such a hit? My personal experience… I personally purchased a Rio 600 ...

I bought the rio 600 hundred when it first came out. And it was not an auspicious start. I had quite considerable trouble with both the device and the software. It lasted about a week before i had to take it back. It has a dual function port. You connect both the headphones and the pc through the same socket. And somehow this had ...

Rio 600 Review I first saw this product in a magazine called ‘Gear’ the magazine was a bit tacky, but they seemed to put forward some good points on most of their reviews. There was one article that really caught my eye, it had a caption saying “You can jump on the Mp3 bandwagon for under £150 ... Read the complete review

There's no denying the Rio is a sexy bit of kit - it's small, it's curvy and it fits snugly in your hand. I actually have the 600SE, which is identical to the 600 but comes with 64MB of built-in memory instead of 32MB. That's enough for about 80 mins of MP3 tunes at 112kbps (which I reckon is enough - I'd rather have ... Read the complete review

The Rio Mp3 player was the product that started the whole portable Mp3 player craze upon its original release and the Rio 600 is the latest incarnation in this unique product range. The question is, faced with fresh competition from a now inundated market, can it still come out tops? I think so: bar a few niggles, it’s the perfect ... Read the complete review

Some may say that it is not worth buying an Mp3 player, and to be honest i was one of them. Then I came accross this wonderful piece of technology, the Rio 600. Its not strictly an mp3 player, it is a Digiratl Audio Player, as it can play windows media files as well as mp3's. It has a 32mb memory, and can hold up to 30 ... Read the complete review

I've had my Diamond/S3 Rio 600 for almost a year now and I can honestly say that I'm really happy with it! I use it mainly for listening to music while I'm at work, or travelling. The sound quality is superb. The one AA battery will last you a good 30 hours. If there were bad things I could say about it then it would ... Read the complete review

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 ... Read the complete review

The Diamond Rio 600 may not seem a natural successor to the 64Mb Rio 500, as the 600 bears only 1/2 as much memory, but what it lacks in memory, no doubt it will make up for in the future. PLAYER The palyer itself is small, smaller than most, and light, supposedly one of the lightest full size MP3 players on the market. ... Read the complete review

The recent purchase of the mp3 player the "DIAMOND RIO 600" has taken me by complete surprise. It is a technology that I have wanted for a while worth the wait, I should say so. The ease of use of this mid range mp3 player (£149 - £169) has to be experienced to be believed. It is very light and ergonomically designed, ... Read the complete review

The Diamond Rio PMP 600, an innovation? Or just a PMP 500 thrown in a stylish blue round case which is designed to fit your hand perfectly weather you are walking down the street or running down an alley. I will go through the basic points of MP3 players, and give specifics of this one, and how it holds up with the industry ... Read the complete review

If, like me, you’re only just starting to break into the dizzy world of MP3 then you’re probably finding that it’s quite a big scary place. Sure, you’ve heard of Napster and downloading songs from the net for free and even buying albums online that you can download to your PC but is that it? You have ... Read the complete review

1/2 an hour of less than cd - quality music is poor for £160. I had contemplated buying this but after a few weeks of consideration i decided not to purly because 32 MB is simply not enought memory. I would have ended up spendindg at least £50 or more on a new rio memory backback to make it up to a half decent amount (which, of course is ... Read the complete review

This is a very modern looking MP3 player, with a very original design. Produced by Diamond, it is their third MP3 player. And they have made some improvements. WHAT IS MP3 ? MP3 files are condensed music files, which lose some of the quality in the process. However, this loss is practically unnoticeable. These files can ... Read the complete review

This is a great new product from Diamond(S3), not only is it cheap, but it is so similar to one of those Nokia Phones! - I mean you can even change the blue cover of this MP3 to somethng to suit your mood or something like that! It contains a high-resolution LCD screen and out-of-box support of multiple audio formats. It also is ... Read the complete review

My first foray into the world of portable MP3 has been with this little device, and I have to say I’m impressed. The unit itself is small and stylish – curvy, a little smaller than a cassette and about 1.5 times thicker. Using the Rio is a breeze. At the top of the unit is an on/off switch, and the rest is ...
