With an integrated FM tuner and intuitive graphic display, you'll enjoy your favorite music through your entire workout.

Don't expect support, or a website with support.. or a driver.......2006-07-17
My Rio S30S was the result of a trade, no driver cd included, no head phones, just the usb cable and the player. The sonicblue and associated websites are all gone, I was able to find a download by searching for the music manager software, using a different model number than the one I have. Finally found it, the driver alone is not compatible with XP, so I had to load the whole music manager (which doesn't work, play nicely with XP) then update real player to use it. Round about way to get to an end, but it's better than having a useless device.
I use JVC "Gumy" ear buds with it (for cheap buds they do pick up the lower spectrum tones)-- the combination gives excellent music quality, no tinniness or static.
The fm tuner is awful. I would rather have had it sans tuner, or with an am.
Without an upgrade holds between 12-14 songs, or four 35-40 minute podcasts.
Durable enough case that I allow my children to borrow it. Not so expensive that I'd be heartbroken if I had to replace it though.
The menu/display is organized a little weirdly, but overall not totally incomprehensible.
If you are going to buy this make sure you can get the drivers and software needed for it and expect zero support. (minus one star for the driver/software issue and minus one for the cruddy tuner)
Cheap, Functional and Expandable, but not that Durable.......2005-08-29
This is a great player for the price, it works and sounds great, and that is all that matters, right?
I totally agree, but there are a few problems that kill this little MP3/WMA player's glory.
All have been mentioned so far, and I am pretty sure that everyone is aware but now, but why not put my two cents in it?
-I like the fact that you have an arm band and a belt clip. There is a rubberised enclosure for the player that facilitates the mounting to the arm band. My problem is the player's unusual shape causes it to stick out like a sore thumb on the side of your arm. I suggest increased awareness in situations in the gym where there is a possibility of rubbing, as the buttons on the player are akward and stick out.
-Since we are on the topic of buttons, I have read several reviews of individual's players losing button functuality over time. I do not doubt this from feeling the shoddy construction of the buttons. The lock function is also buried too deep down in the menus.
-Speaking of menus, common functions are buried deep and make it a pain, especially when the rubber casing is on, it makes the top buttons hard to access, including volume.
-Music still sounds nice at max volume, included earbuds are good, but may not quite reach some waists.
-Complaints about radio reception; I have not tried it myself, but Rio claims to have solved these problems with the latest firmware update.
-It makes a difference, you will notice the differences in the menu format.
-The software sucks, use anything but the Music Manager. It does work in terms of basic functionality though. The USB cable is proprietary, and Rio states on their website that they have tested SD media up to 1 GB.
-Battery life is adequate, as advertised.
-The screen shows a lot for something in its price range, maybe a little too much, although the LCD does look a little archaic. I will expand on this in the next bullet.
-The LCD screen is the Achilles Heel of this player in terms of durability. Two weeks after I got this thing from Overstock, I clipped it on my Interceptor body armour in an ammo pouch, and took it on an 8 mile ruck march. At the end, I forgot and threw my armour in the back of a truck. When I got back the screen was done. It will take a fall anywhere, but once the screen gets hit, it is done.
In summary, this rocks if you can get it for 30 bucks, it is expandable to 1 GB, but you have to be cognisant of your surroundings, or you will break this toy.
Best value for the price!.......2005-07-17
I've had my Rio S30S Sport for about 3 weeks now. I absolutely love it. It is small, weighs almost nothing, and stores more than enough music to cover my daily workouts for more than a week. The software that comes with it is very good. Makes downloading songs to the Rio very easy and was very intuitive . . . never had to look in the help files or read the manual. If you buy this product, you will want to plan on buying an SD card as well. I believe the maximum this Rio Sport will take is a 256MB card, but that size holds a lot of songs.
My only complaint about this item is that when I clip it to my belt, I sometimes bump the stop position on the round toggle with my hand. (This never happens if I attach it to my left side, so I am attributing that problem to a weird right-hand swing!) It comes with a plastic clip-on case and an arm-band. I'm a walker, so the arm-band would be an overkill for me. But I'm sure joggers would find that works better for them.
very good.......2005-06-16
this is a very good mp3 player. It only has 64mb but it plays track very good. It never skips but my advice is dont drop it because if u drop it on the wrong spor it can like open up but all u have to is push it back together yea just dont drop it
Works Great, added 1 gig Sandisk SD :).......2005-02-09
This is a great cheap player, nice interface.
You can add the one gigabyte SD cards. (I bought a 1 gig Sandisk for cheap), you may need to update the firmware (you should anyway, it is very easy to do).
Only took off a star because the SQ while excellent was not up the the Rio Karma I own (I guess that is expected as that may be the best sounding DAP on the market). SQ overall is great but I want everything for nothing and dont hand out 5 stars :)

scott's review.......2007-02-08
Nice travel alarm clock. It's a plastic case, not super small, but small enough, simple to use. Does not always wake up my super-sound sleeping daughter, since it automatically shuts off after a minute (or 30 seconds?). It has two alarm levels, the alarm is a higher frequency that hard of hearing people may not hear, but would generally wake up anyone that wants to get up. I also use it as a back up alarm for when I have to catch a flight, and I don't have to worry about not hearing it, even when I put it 10 feet away from my bed....

Ben from California.......2007-11-15
This item is useless, do not BUY. I tried to use it to split between my projector and TV. It worked with one output (TV or Projector) connected but it was full of snow, as soon as I connected the second output the picture dies out. It only does up to 720P, 1080P kills it. Don't waist your money!
Problems with splitter and 50 foot HDMI cable.......2007-10-27
I am using this splitter with a 15 and 50 foot cable to two HDMI TVs. The TV on the 15 foot cable works fine, but the one on the 50 foot cable does not have audio. When first plugged in, the audio works fine, but after the TV is turned off and on again, I have no audio. I have ordered an HDMI booster, and will see if this corrects the problem.
Splitter provides great picture, but NO AUDIO.......2007-07-02
Read the description for this splitter very closely and you notice it mentions nothing about audio or audio quality. Very deceptive advertising, as it doesn't outright mention the fact that it provides no audio pass through whatsoever! Buyer Beware.
HDMI passive Splitters are a waste..........2007-05-06
This item is useless, i got it thinking i would be able to connect my hdmi cable box and my hdmi upscaling dvd player, but neither work when they are both connected picture/sound flashes, they drown out each others signal even if the other device is powered off, like the signal is leaking backwords. The only way it works is if you have only 1 device plugged in to it, so that makes it pretty useless, unless you needed a 12inch hdmi extender...... I would of sent it back but it was so cheap it wasnt worth the time and effort.
Complete junk do not waste your time, get an active switch if you need more HDMI ports
Snow with 720p/1080i sources and no video on 1080p.......2007-02-20
Not sure if the other reviewer "Nando" actually tried using this particular splitter??
This splitter is useless. You purchase a splitter because you need to send the output to two displays (in my case a TV and a Projector). However, with this splitter, the picture results in some snow when using 480i/480p/720p/1080i sources (such as directv or comcast). And using the splitter results in no video at all with 1080p sources such as PS3 Blu-Ray. Audio output from all sources functioned properly, but without proper video output, this device is non-functional. Solution: I removed the splitter from my configuration (my HDMI cables are not the problem).
I'm searching for another splitter.
