Rating:  - Good buy
This is not for everyone especially with the falling prices of USB drive MP3 players. But, for the price this is a good product.
I liked the idea of MP3 CD players since this means I can also play my normal CDs which I don't necessarily want to rip to Mp3. Plus I have easy CD-burning facilities at work and home and I'm not too stingy with using CD-R's for burning little things when ever I feel like it. So for me this inexpensive little device with fairly effective ant-shock buffer was ... Read More
Rating: - Basically very good, but not without faults
Despite giving this product a relatively modest three stars, I would probably still advise most people seriously looking at it to buy it. The reason is this - the sound quality is very good (although a little weak with the bass boost off), it'll hold 15 albulms on mp3 and most of all, its cheap. It offers much better value than the more expensive HD players, often with less storage space. However, it eats batteries at an ammazing rate (this seems to be a problem with the low power shutdown on mine ... Read More
Rating: - Riovolt SP50
This piece of kit does exactly what I want it to do. I put the batteries in and loaded it with 10 hrs worth of CD tracks saved as MP3s and set it to Random Play and it's fine. I didn't bother with the included headphones but stuck to my trusty Sony headset. I leave the base boost on all the time and it gives a pleasing sound without loosing the "top end". As it comes without an A/C adapter I used my Uniross variable voltage adaptor. I set it to 4.5 Volts, as instructed and made sure that the polarity ... Read More
Rating:  - A disaster from start to finish
I'm afraid I had problems with this MP3 CD player from the minute I unpacked it.
1. Both slide buttons on the side - "Unlock/Lock" and "Bass/Normal" are stuck in position and cannot be moved at all.
2. The battery meter does not work correctly, one second it displays full battery power, the shows the batteries as having run out.
3. It does not play MP3 CDs! I have burnt numerous CDs on the Mac using iTunes and although they come up and play perfectly on a PC or Mac, the SP50 ... Read More
Rating:  - Deeply Flawed
The first thing that struck me about the Rio SP50 is how loud the amp is in it. Even with the volume on zero there is a very noticeable hiss though the headphones, so much so that when using a car kit it virtually negates the point of using an mp3/cd player. The actual sound is ok, very bassey, although somewhat dead sounding (even on cd) if you can get past the background noise !.
The album browse function is rather limited as the number of characters is to short (for most of teh stuff I listen ... Read More
