Rio 600 Pros and Cons : Rio 600 32 MB Digital Audio Player (MP3/WMA)
Let's start with my beefs-they are few but if you're unfortunate enough to be suffering from the most troubling of them, you're probably breathing fire from Rio's handling of the situation. I'm referring to the 'USB bug' that infects certain computers (tech support couldn't be more clear/candid about how many people were suffering from the ailment). "It's our biggest complaint" were the words of my by-now beleagured support guru, Mike. It's essentially static that bleeds into your player when music is downloaded that translates into minor static bursts (try picking one up at high volume) to an outright skipping of the song to the next track...intermittantly. Try jogging with your car radio set to 'scan' without the benefit of a regular interval and you'll know what I'm talking about. Out of the dozen or so tracks (different bit rates, repeated attempts) I downloaded, 11 of them exhibited this maddening glitch, which to me rendered the device useless. Rio's response? "They should be updating the firmware in the next 2 weeks to compensate for the problem". This after the device was available on the market for over 4 weeks. Grrrrrrr.... The work-around? Buy a USB hub: my Xircom 4 port (after a speedy 3 minute installation) licked the problem for $29. Face it: the way the industry is headed, you're probably going to use multiple USB devices eventually. Use this logic to keep you from screaming into the phone at your tech support rep about how ridiculous it is that arguably the largest MP3 audio manufacturer can screw up this badly. And don't try the website for info on the when the glitch will be patched or even acknowledgement that it exists: it's useless.
My other beefs are minor, but annoying. No belt clip. Who do they think is using their product? Try the weight room or the track without the handy PMP 300 clip. Not very well thought-out. And the earbuds...it may be me, but are any of you noticing the "water ear" you get with aerobic exercise and these things? It seems that sweat gets diverted somehow diectly into your ear. If I'm not using these things correctly, please let me know.
With that off my chest, I have nothing but praise for the player and the software. The LED may (or may not) chomp at the battery, but it's clear, backlit and gadgety enough to impress my friends (if they're not in the middle of 'Freebird' when it skips). The menu button is handy and the forward, back, etc paddle is nifty enough. The hold button has even moved to a place where it can be used! (See PMP 300). The audio software for file transfers is lucid as any I've seen. I especially like the visual representations of the music (attention Rio:make it a screensaver-convertible and I'll forget about the earbuds). The possibility for expansion is cool too...300+mB? I can't wait to see the price tag (and I'm hearing ADDED? battery consumption *ahem*) on that one. Who am I kidding? To hear my Barenaked Ladies CD's at 192mps, I'll snatch it up in a heartbeat.
Bottom Line: If you're one of the unfortunates who picked up a computer with a 'polluted' USB, pick up a hub and some crazy glue for a belt clip. Or you could just buy a Yepp. But for my money, WMA compatibility and exponential expansion, I'll make do with a semi-scathing review on amazon.com.
