Nice product, really use full.......2007-01-09
I bought this mp3 player, for some personal reasons, the 1st, was cause I wanted to train on the gym, no need of too much songs, and a good look cause I dont like the slim actual mp3 players, it's a little tough look, good for a big strong gym trainer :p
Well, only thing, take care your screen, it could get broke ;)
Poor until Software Upgrade - Now Great ! ! ! Best for books, podcasts, travel. .......2006-11-15
I feel bad so many have had bad experiences with the Forge. I've had mine since October 2005. It locked up at first, and Rio's phone-support folks directed me to firmware upgrade instructions. All has been near-perfect since then.
The expandable memory is perhaps the best feature. I load a few spare 128-meg cards with books and music, and use the on-board flash for daily podcasts.
You don't need to use Rio software, as your PC will recognize the unit as a new drive. Track play order is by ID tag data - delete all that if you want tracks sorted by file name. You can also select by artist, album, etc. Even play only internal or only MMC/SD .
The unique shape and raised button profile let you wear it in a shirt pocket and work the controls without looking. Perfect for the gym and outdoor work.
It's very podcast / audiobook friendly. Pause-to-powerdown lets you come back to the same part of a track. Same if the battery runs out. 9 bookmarks stay memorized even through a battery change. (although for some reason the date reverts back to 2005 when you replace the battery. I've given up setting the time and date for that reason. ) The search mode speeds up as you hold down the ff / rw button. You can speed through long tracks that way.
On the whole, it's very good and I'd buy it again. Can't find anything else that combines so many features for podcast, audiobook and music listening.
Not so good..........2006-08-25
I got this player as a present and ever since, I have had alot of troubles with it!
First of all...within the same month, the player got so hot and the battery was scalding hot...and it melted parts of the plastic on the player!!! I NEVER throw away warrantees, but I must've thrown it out with the bag...so that was my horrid mistake! But I didn't expect it to get so hot that it melted plastic! I still do not know why it did this...
I was still able to play it however..but over time, it would shut off like others have said, and it would freeze and it would do weird things. I had to be a magician to get the dang thing to work!~
If I could just reiterate, I would not recommend this product due to product defects and the way that mine almost caught fire a few times!! Rio is no longer around...please take this as a clue in case you want to buy a used one!!!
It's good enough for me.......2006-07-02
My first mp3 player. Well, I love it, i feel i have to, but only about 50 songs fit!!! and it is in black and white!!! well,might as well go into pro's and con's:
PRO'S:
Radio
Stopwatch
Software's good
Very affordable
Pocket-shaped
It's never given me problems, it's just inferior to others
CON'S:
Not much memory
Takes aaa batteries
Everytime the battery falls out/dies the clock resets
Black and white
Earphones broke in less than 6 months.
Weird shape
Conclusion: Good first time mp3 player, but you need lots of batteries, patience, and your own earphones.
Best sport player I've found.......2006-06-27
I bought the rio forge over a year ago for motorcycle riding when my hard drive 5GB model trashed the hard drive. I wanted flash memory, and an expandable slot for at least an extra GB of memory, and mp3/wma file playing capability.
I use it riding notorcycles offroad, desert, major dust, hard knocks and a tough life clipped to my jacket pocket with the belt clip.
Controls are a bit small but can be used even with gloves on when it's where I can't see it. Kind of important when riding.
The only real issue is the battery cover came off somewhere in the Texas desert aroud the mexican border, riding in heavy dust gets it ffiled with so much dust without the cover that it dusts up the inside glass so I can't read the display. So far just taking it apart and blowing it out has been fine. Still works like champ.
I do have to hold down the center control button while starting it now and then if doesn't want to recognize the expansion card, that's the method for resetting the unit, making it reinitialize from scratch, works every time.
Good sound (I use custome molded ear buds), and the 1GB SD card I use makes for around 270 songs which gets me through a 2-3 day adventure ride.
So far it's the only thing I've found that works for me, and has been through thousands of miles of rough offroad in Wyoming, Colorado over 13k foot jeep trail mountin passes, Texas, Carolinas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico and elsewhere as well as thousands of miles of touring on a street bike clipped to my jacket.
Just came by here to see if I can still buy another one before they are discontinued so when mine finally does get trashed I'll have another one.

Dont buy.......2007-12-01
this is the second gps I have owned. the usb cable is a major problem,It wont let your computer recognize it.I rebooted everything to no avail. what a piece of junk!!!
The 210 model is a better unit.I bought the 500Le thinking it would be easy and a good upgrade NOT. I am buying a Garmin. Allen
Don't buy it!!!!!!!!.......2007-11-26
I purchased this unit from REI. They always stand behind their products. Thanks goodness! If you read a couple of the other reviews you'll see... SD Card door broke off, battery hard to remove, downloading cache info is difficult and transfers with limited info. Been there, done that! Battery door removal is a joke. Taking mine back today and buying Garmin eTrex Vista HCx. $50 more but not designed like a toy. Buy Garmin if you're looking for a hand held. Oh, and if you need help with your Garmin, you'll be speaking with someone who speaks English.
works good but could use.......2007-11-04
The gps works good but comes with very little instructions. However most can be downoaded as a PDF from the Magellan website(of course they don't tell you that anywhere in the package)
I suggest not using the backlight, it will run out the batteries in 3 hrs and without it you get a little more time from AA's, go for the lithium. I purchased all the chargers for the gps, however all must be plugged into the usb cable with is a bit cumbersome to attach.
Would still recommend this for the hunter and outdoors man.
Don't buy.......2007-10-25
Purchased Explorist 500 in September 06. Unit lasted 6months, then started shutting off during computer uploads. Customer support recommended that I update the software (bad idea). During the software install the unit shut off and would not start again. Habib then directed me to send the unit in for repair. They sent me a refurb unit that had numerous software glitches. Unit has once again died. Because it is refurbed I am being charged for repair. Go Garmin!! If you still end up buying this P.O.S you will need to learn to speak punjab or whatever language the speak in India. After trying to communicate with the customer service rep for at least 45 minutes I had to self medicate with several stiff gin gimlets.
Magellan - 500 LE is a piece of TechnoJunk.......2007-07-24
Software is not compatable with Vista, offerd Li-Ion Battery deal for $19.99 is not available - this is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Good thing I have a product protection plan on my CC
