First MP3 Player...

I bought the Rio Sport S35S about 2 years ago, during the whole MP3 craze. I needed an item that I could simply carry my music in a compact case, and look stylish and unique at the same time. Unfortunately, I did not do all of my research for this ...

Are You A Risk Taker

Sound quality was great for this tin ear. Software was glitch-free.

Belt clip and holder are bogus. USB cable port is vulnerable to corrosive sweat.

Great Idea, Disappointing Execution

Cute, large LCD display, extra memory slot, worry-free software, portable, reduced price

TERRIBLE manufacturing - breaks quickly, shoddy headphones, and CUSTOMER SUPPORT DOESN'T SUPPORT CUSTOMERS!

I was able to break it doing sports but will buy another

The only player made for sports

The player can fly off your arm and break while running.

Great Buy, Smart Software, Easily Expandable, Extremely Durable!

I've had my Rio Sport for about 2 years. I've taken it across country (from California to South Carolina), I've dropped it, accidently sat on it, gotten it wet & it just keeps coming back for more! Other reviewers criticize the beltclip, and ...

Fantastic Sound Quality! Good Price. Highly Durable! Easy-to-use Software. Uses only ONE battery

Volume output could be stronger
