Small and convenient, but built like a piece of junk w/ no support.

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Not Dependable.

Periodically either the OS on the computer or the Rio or the player software loses the ability to even detect extended memory. The first time that happened a few basic things worked, like a reinstall.

Good size, one of the sfwe apps was good, two were very poor

Support when device fails ; hold button not dependable
