A solid MP3-CD player

Pros 11 large character x 3 line display, backlight, configurable
Cons mediocre resume, no AC adapter with it or available from manufacturer's site
Recommended it? Yes
The Bottom Line:  A solid player in all aspects; well worth the money ($59.99 closeout from Circuit City and a $30 MIR)
On my quest for a good MP3-CD player, I first tried Sony's DNF610. While the ATRAC3 made for good compression with acceptable loss, it balked at converting 320kbit and VBR MP3s, and the display was far too small. I returned it and got the RioVolt SP150, and I've been satisfied with it ever since. It's played all formats of MP3 I've thrown at it, as well as 4x burned and 12x burned CDRWs. The 12x burned CD took a bit longer to scan when I put it in, but after that it performed exactly the same as the 4x burned one. You can adjust things like track seek speed, title scroll speed, and also customize your own simple EQ settings (as well as being able to scroll through presets). The only real flaw, and one that doesn't concern me too much, is that its resume only picks up at the beginning of the song, not part way through. Also, Rio's website store is very sparse for accessories: I couldn't find a remote that said it worked with the SP150, and I couldn't find any AC adapters to speak of. Lastly, you will find yourself abbreviating and scrunching titles down for browsability, as with any MP3 player, but the RioVolt SP150 does the best job possible to alleviate this problem with a large display featuring 3 lines and several other indicators as well (manual can be found here: http://www.digitalnetworksna.com/support/rio/downloads/riovolt/Manuals/riovolt_sp150_userguide.pdf)
