Great Player.......2007-01-10

I just put in a 1GB SD card and works!!! (I used to have a 512 MB Card) Great upgrade at the time I was thinking of getting another player with greater capacity.

still going and works just fine.......2006-12-27

I thought this could use another fairly recent review (happened to come across the page when I was checking to see if there is another case i can buy for mine...there's not).

I got this at least 2 years ago, maybe 3. It still works great. The only problem I have is that I lost the original software disc, and the one i downloaded from the manufacturer site (after a windows reformat) is a major downgrade from the original one i had. I have a 512MB card in mine and have had no problems, and I'm tempted to try a 1GB based on a review I just read.

I don't use the playlists (you have to create them on the player, I believe, which is much too tedious for me), and have not used bookmarks (although this is a nice feature for audiobooks). I primarily use mine at the gym and sometimes in the car with an iRock fm transmitter. I have had no problems. I use rechargable batteries and have to switch the battery out every few weeks or so, so battery life isn't super (about 12 hours?), but it does just take one AA.

All in all, it's been a great player. I boughy my hsuband an ipod for xmas, but at this point i have no real reason to upgrade to one myself, as this little baby still does the job. comes with a ghetto padded belt clip (my original reason for coming to amazon today).

4 stars because it works great but lacks many features of many other players.

**NOTE: after reading another review, I purchased a 1GB memory card from Amazon for like $12 to see if it would work in here. It does! Now I can hang onto this one happily for a little while longer before upgrading.**

nice and inexpensive player without the frills.......2006-02-14

after reading many of the reviews here before buying, i'd like to correct a couple of out of date info that were posted before:

1. the s10 can definately take a 1gb secure digital card and recognize the card's full capacity. didn't encounter any problems with playback.
2. it does support playlists, which can be setup w/ rio music manager software.
3. rio music manager software is very easy to use, if you goto the company's website and download the latest version. it's not as full featured as musicmatch but it does upload music just fine.
4. it does offer bookmarks, great for audio books.

the first thing you should do after buying this is update the firmware and software to the latest version from the company's website: www(dot)digitalnetworksna(dot)com(slash)support(slash)rio(slash)product.asp?prodID=71
sorry about the (dot) (slashes), it wouldn't let me post the url in its original form.

Nice but alot of technical difficulties.......2005-12-31

I like this little thing but the play button went wack and turned into the fast forward button so i had to pop the plastic button thing out and touch the sensors it looks so weird. When i bought it i thought that 64mg would be enough memory but it wasnt i always had to delete my songs all the time just to get another song on it. But i love the software that comes with it, its so easy to use, but i reccomend that you bye something better.
