    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 7, 2002 | 11 out of 14 found this Rio Riot review helpful

    O my God!Stop right now and forget you ever saw such a peice of junk! this thing has horrible soft ware and a casing that might last a week with normal ussage, the harddrive is cheap and im furious this is even sold, I owned one (owned!) and it could...nt compare to my Archos Recorder/MP3 model 20 , $319 and easily bought on www.amazon.com, The Archos is Ten Times better hands down number one, I would give the Riot a negative 5 or even a zero if possiblePlease Nobel Shopper Don't buy this Product Read more Less

    Nothing but trouble

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 2, 2002 | 7 out of 9 found this Rio Riot review helpful

    I have had nothing but trouble with my rio riot. After 6 weeks (just past the 30 days where I could return it to the purchase place), it just stopped working. Wouldnt even turn on or do anything. I complained to the manufacturer and they sent me a re...placement - so I took the hours of time to put another 5 gigs of music back on it, and guess what happened two months later? It completely stopped working again - totally unresponsive. Im now in the process of contacting the manufacturer again, but I would give anything to go back in time and spend my $300 on something else. I never did anything remotely damaging to my player and the situation is ridiculous. Read more Less

    The Battery SUCKS!!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 30, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Rio Riot review helpful

    The internal battery sucks!Ive owned afew portable devices in the past, and I have to say the Rio Riot has the worst battery of any that Ive ever seen.It starts out being able to play about 8 hours on a single charge, but if you let it charge any mor...e than full, the battery life shortens.Ive had mine for well over a year, and the battery life is now less than an hour due to accidently leaveing in pluged in too long. Oh, not to mention the power port on the thing is a really odd size, so its impossable to find a car adapter for it.Other than the battery, it is pretty decent, although Ive seen better.

    Unreliable and NO support either.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 9, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this Rio Riot review helpful

    Constant lockups. Flip through a few songs and the indicator tells you that the battery is low - then it locks up! Either reset and recharge, or leave it alone - eventually it resets and then stays on all night. Totally unreliable. Support nonexi...stent. Read more Less
