Summary: Not worth the $$ 2008-03-12
Comment: Bought this as a gift and was disappointed when it showed up. Not suitable for taking to the gym, which is what it was intended for. Battery cover immediately fell off.

Summary: Bookmarking issues / Good price / Great value 2006-03-16
Comment: I purchased this device for listening to audio books, and it was one of the few players that I found in the lower price range that has a bookmarking feature (which is a must for audio book use). That bookmarking feature is both this player's greatest strength and its greatest weakness.
Because this unit is inexpensive and actually HAS the rare feature, I am pleased with it, and I gave it a lot of stars.
The menus are very user-friendly, so setting bookmarks is pretty easy; just pause the player, open the menu, and set the bookmark. The problem starts when I try to restart (exactly) where I left off; this player loses one star because when you restart at a bookmark, you find yourself anywhere from 3 to 30 minutes BEFORE the place you marked. Granted, this is better than restarting AFTER the place you mark, and CERTAINLY better than having no bookmark at all, thus having to scan ALL THE WAY THROUGH to the place you left off, but it's still a bit annoying that I have to scroll even a little. This bookmarking time gap is the only real problem I have with the unit.
If you DO have to do long scans for some reason, though, this player has another strength - automatic fast scan. When you hold down the FFWD or REW button, the longer you hold it, the faster it scans.
It gets great battery life, and the included cheap-o earbuds are more comfortable than most, but not luxurious by any stretch.
The clip is a little retarded, but only a nuisance, not completely unusable.
Sync speed is pretty slow.
All of this is justified by the low, low price though.

Summary: Remanufactured Rio Forge Sport MP-3 Player 2006-03-15
Comment: I like the player. However, I am a reader of audio books and I download books from the local library using NetLibrary. I am having difficulty using book marks and the resume feature to keep my place when the player is shut off. Rio tells me it has something to do with the NetLibrary platform. Called NetLibrary and they tried to help, but I'm stiill having trouble with certain books. Otherwise I like the player for quality of sound and listening to downloaded music.

Summary: This was the worst birthday present for my husband 2006-02-28
Comment: The MP3 player was fine until one day it just read "upgrade" in the display and won't work anymore. I will never buy another product from this company again. They offered no troubleshooting advice except to take the batteries out for 20 minutes and then reinsert them. That didn't work. Thank God this didn't cost alot because I would be furious!
