Rio 600 32Mb MP3/WMA portable player now £60-00 at Jungle.
I am thinking of obtaining one at this price. Anyone have any experience of this unit using WMA files?
Do you recommed it?
Source for cheap extra memory required please help.

That is very tempting, although I`ve decided to hunt out a cheap Philips EXP303, as this handles ordinary CDs and CD-R/CD-RW with MP3s on them. It retails for about £120, but I`m sure someone must do it cheaper.
32MB is enough for about an hour of .wma files, or 30 minutes of MP3 files, so it`s okay for the bus and little else. There is a 64MB version of the Rio Diamond 600, but it costs considerably more.
Cheers for the heads up, though : I`ve heard nothing but good things from review sites about the Rio.

has the same player for £25 more, but with a free 32mb Memory Pack which costs £50 on its own.
they also sell lots of other stuff for the Rio 600. If you plan to upgrade the memory, this looks like a better buy

It seems the Best CD/MP3 player is the...iRiver IMP 350. It is supposed to be very slim, it also has a Radio tuner (if bought in Europe) & is from the "original creators of the `RIO VOLT`". This is the player I will buy, use a search engine for more info. The reviews have been fantastic for sound etc. I first got wind of it about 5 weeks ago in the Saturday Daily Mirror.

Thanks for the responses and advice, I think the Rio 600 is a bargain, but I really would like a Portable CD player that can handle CD-r and CD-rw and WMA files for under £100-00.
Recently coverted alot of files and CD`s to WMA as now have new pc with XP.

Check to see if the Rio 600 can have firmware upgraded to accept 64MB cards.
I got a Rio 500 legacy product a while back - 64mb onboard and now it takes 64mb cards - 2 cd`s worth is enough for yer bus journey.

NAPA Portable MP3 / CD Player

This looks like a better deal to me. Anyone else know anything about it? Reading the reviews for it, it looks pretty good.
Just less than £60.00 @ Jungle

I`ve got one - does what it says on the tin.
Bit of a pain to navigate tracks, but perfectly possible - can skip by folder or by track, so as long as you organise your MP3s, it`s great.
Only tried it with audio CD and MP3, but works pretty well. You do get skipping, despite some of the comments, but as long as you`re not trampolining or something it`s pretty good. Have subsequently bought some "curl round your ear" earphones that stay in place well, better sound quality than the supplied ones, too.
