1 out of 5 stars UGH! NOT RELIABLE...WILL SHUT DOWN W NO WARNING.......2006-01-21

My Rio S50 - which will be slammed up against a wall shortly after finishing this review - has a bad habit of just shutting down with A FULL BATTERY CHARGE!!! I can't count the number of times I've been using it and...all of a sudden...nothing. No sound. I've never dropped it and have handled it with great care, but it has a fatal flaw that others are having trouble with as well. BUYER BEWARE!!!

1 out of 5 stars Garbage should have bought an Ipod.......2006-01-17

The Player though it has excellent reviews in my eyes is junk, this was a Christmas present for my son but it shuts off after a couple minutes of use. I have tried both the seller and RIO for some satisfaction but I have none thus far not goor customer service on eithers part. I should have just gone for the Ipod nano for my son.

4 out of 5 stars Light and powerful player.......2004-08-22

I'm really impressed by the Rio S50, its light weight and powerful output is unmatched by any player on the market. I paid $90 dollars for the unit and $75 for a 512 mb memory card. With the onboard 128mb ram, 640mb ram total I was able to store approximately 10 hours of music all for about $165. This is impressive considering prices almost a year ago. The audio quality and the units 5 band adjustable equalizer, matched with a good set of headsets (Koss 'The Plug' earbuds), deliver superb bass and crystal clear highs without any distortion throughout the entire volume range; you'll never get caught short of audio quality (something to take for granted nowadays with most units at this price.) The S50 will never seriously compete with the more expensive units such as the ipod in storage(the ipod is basically a hard drive.), although the s50 may be more rugged. However, if you're measuring light weight vs. quality, ruggedness and storage size vs. price the s50 is definitely a way to go. The s50 is my champ in the light weight department, with no moving parts except for the on off switch it's a reliable companion on just about any trip or climate. I wouldn't hesitate to throw it into my backpack or luggage for a week-long outing. You may want to bring along an extremely light-weight FM/Am radio, though; On the rare occasion when I did want to listen to the radio, I never picked up any stations reliably. This is truly an mp3 player enthusiasts unit.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible Company!!!.......2004-08-11

Bought one of this company's mp3 players and I lost my cord which connects it to the computer. I ordered a replacement and waited WEEKS to get it despite the next day air priority shipping. For over a week they showed that it was ready to ship, but they still didn't send it out. If you buy this item, pray you never have to replace a part!

4 out of 5 stars Great player, poor radio.......2004-07-09

The performance of this unit for playing mp3s is AOK. The radio is not good enough, and I frequently find myself carrying a radio in another pocket when I carry the S50. I would love to have the same thing with 256 MB built in--and dispense with the radio if they can't do better than this.
