This unit is lightweight, very simple to use, and I didn't find the buttons awkward to mess with as I did the other mp3 players that I have tried. The RCA Lyra RD1080 also boasts an FM tuner -a feature that seems to be lacking on other mp3 players out there on the market. And the audio from this bad boy? Well, The sound from this little toy is simply awesome! I wasn't able to find any specific instructions (could be I didn't look hard enough) on how to download my mp3's to this device, but after loading the software, I was able to play with the software and download into this mp3 player within 15 minutes. This player comes with Musicmatch software where all of your files are managed. Keep in mind that you cannot download raw mp3's into this unit, as the Musicmatch software converts your mp3 files into mpy files. Therefore you wouldn't be able to just go to your friends house and...Read more 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful:  Good sound quality, plays MP3 and WMA raw, downloaded direct, By A Customer This review is from: RCA Lyra RD1080 128 MB MP3 Player (Electronics) I bought this machine a month ago at Radio ShackPositive: No need to use bundled software that many reviewers have complained about. Just plug in the USB cord and it pops up on your computer as another drive. Drag and drop the MP3 or WMA files you want, it will play both types without any intervention for the user. This is my third MP3 (and WMA) player and the one with the best sound so far. Many reviews complain about a belt-clip, my model did not come with a belt clip, it came with a very clever elastic arm band that holds it perfectly on your upper arm. I have used it 2-3 times a week at the gym and it is so much nicer than all the other Walkmans (yes I am old, the tape type) and CD players I have hauled to the gym. Very good value for money. Negative The headphones are comfortable, but you can improve sound quality with better headset. The radio is a nice feature with impressive auto search and memory for many stations, but all that does not matter because the...Read more 37 of 40 people found the following review helpful: Great Value, as long as you keep a few things in mind..., By This review is from: RCA Lyra RD1080 128 MB MP3 Player (Electronics) Have been looking for an MP3 player for working out and traveling for some time now. Have looked at the Rio for a while but it just seemed so ...expensive. Came across the RD 1080 and decided to give it a try. I LOVE IT! FM Tuner works well, and has good reception and quality. Sound quality for the unit is very good. It's small and lightweight and seems to be pretty reasonable on battery life. However, I'd make sure you keep a few things in mind before you buy.1) You have to use MusicMatch. Period. No other options. (As far the other user's comment about paying for upgrades to the software, I'd splurge and buy the lifetime membership to the software. I bought it a year ago and love it). 2) This is NOT a replacement for your $2000.00 home sound system. While it comes with some preset equalizer settings, you can't get too creative with the sound quality. But for [the price] you're getting a pretty ... good value. 3) Download times are slow (approx 15 min for 20 128k songs) 4)...Read more |
