The SONICblue RioVolt Electrifies the CD/MP3 Player Market!

Pros Sturdy design, great memory, excellent battery life, clear audio, upgradeable firmware,...
Cons Those stupid earbud headphones again. Awkward programming and menus.
Recommended it? Yes

The Exposition
Let me preface this with a quick story. A few weeks ago, I was driving along a deserted two-lane freeway minding my own business, when a drunk driver hit me. He was trying to perform a U-turn by shooting across the median from the right lane, but neglected to check the left lane... Read full review »

The King is Dead! Long Live the Rio Volt!

Pros Inline remote, good EPS (anti-shock) times, upgradeable firmware
Cons Clumsy song search features, EPS no longer the best in the business
Recommended it? No

When it comes to MP3-CD players, SonicBlue's Rio Volt reigns as king of the hill. Now, with TDK entering the field with their impressive Mojo Digital Jukebox unit, does the Rio Volt still stand tall?

I am writing this review based on my brother's Rio Volt (hey, when the cat is away, the... Read full review »

Good, not Great

44 Helpfuls 45 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros functional, plays MP3 and WMA formats, supports ID3 tags,
Cons cheap plastic, long headphone cord, average battery life, ESP does not work well.
Recommended it? Yes

One of the first (and most popular) CD-MP3 players to come to the market, the Rio Volt boasts a slew of impressive features not seen in many CD MP3 players.

Despite all the popular press and praise regarding the CD player, I was a bit disappointed with the Rio Volt.

Original RioVolt and the SP90 and the upcoming SP250

byyusakugo Sep 18, 2001

Pros Price, Cheap Storage, Longer Battery Life, and the ability to play regular CDs
Cons Cheap construction and poor LCD on low and medium end models.
Recommended it? Yes

It really hasn't been that long since the original RioVolt was released... maybe just 6 months. I posted a review on the original unit back in April... now, that same original unit is being dubbed the SP100 and two new RioVolt models are being released... the SP90 or RioVolt Jr. and the SP250.

Shock to MP3 player industry with TDK Mojo hot on its heels (firmware 2.01 review)

byyusakugo Apr 9, 2001
54 Helpfuls 55 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Price, 650+ Megs of cheap storage, battery life, upgradable firmware, and more
Cons Plastic case feels cheap, dancing man in LCD
Recommended it? Yes

Having played with so many MP3 players including my latest players (a SonicBlue Rio 800 and a Creative Nomad II MG), I was able to get a Rio Volt player for a bit more than $150 ($149.95 + $5.75 - 2% shopper's rebate). Am I impressed with this unit! It is far cheaper than any flash memory player on... Read full review »

Riovolt SP250 - WOW!

byjumperless Jan 1, 2002
35 Helpfuls 36 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 6 Comments
Pros MP3 and WMA support, skip protection, accessories and more!
Cons Have to plug in to charge.
Recommended it? Yes

My fiance has seemed to out grow his Diamond Rio 600, he complains that it does not hold enough music and is a pain to change songs on it with the included software. Since last year for Christmas, he got me a Philips MP3/CD player and I figured it was his turn. After doing a little research on... Read full review »

RioVolt...THE GOOD AND THE BAD FROM AN EXPERIENCED OWNER

Pros Feature rich, so far error free playback, upgradeable firmware.
Cons Volume, quirky controls, carrying case sucks, ear buds, not for active lifestyles.
Recommended it? Yes

As I'm sitting here writing this, my two-month old RioVolt is in shuffle mode, playing a CD that I created with exactly 190 songs on it. For four hours now, I haven't heard one song repeat...WOW!

Even with it's shortcomings, this is an excellent player and here's why...

Compact and fashionably chic..this baby rocks!

Pros sleek ultra-portable design, music anti-skip buffer, good battery life
Cons comes shipped with lousy earplugs, takes too much time to initialize
Recommended it? Yes

I've been in the market for a portable MP3 player for sometime now, but until recently there weren't any products out that really caught my attention. I really fancied the Sony Music Clip, but its proprietary OpenMG system just killed it. The Creative Labs Nomad II MG was another strong candidate,... Read full review »

Before You Buy, Read This

bystenrude May 6, 2001
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros A reasonably cheap way to listen to your MP3s
Cons Everything else
Recommended it? No

I hope this helps in your decision:

The Body:
The player is constructed of lightweight plastic that feels flimsy and looks cheap. I fear that without extremely gentle care, the casing will break.

The Display:
The display is very poorly designed. While the characters... Read full review »

Best on the market... right now

Pros ID3 Tag, Upgradable, MP3/WMA/ASF, Cheap Storage, Durable, Easy navigation, Remote...
Cons Wasted LCD Space, Only 2 line 12 character display
Recommended it? Yes

I just got my Rio Volt the other day and it has yet to disappoint me. The Volt is an MP3 CD player that plays not only MP3s, but can also play WMA and ASF audio as well, off a CD. FYI, the Rio Volt is based on the same OEM of the IRiver MP3 player (www.iriver.com) and is a direct descendant of the... Read full review »
