Great sound from WMAs, but has bugs, trouble reading some CDs.

bybirdwhistle Sep 7, 2003

Pros Above average sound if you add good headphones. No remote. Looks cheap. Good battery life.
Cons Has tracking problems with some CDs. Major software/hardware bugs. Firmware upgrades not...
Recommended it? No

When it works, the Rio Volt SP-150 sounds very good, especially with a good set of headphones. However, the one I got only worked, somewhat, for a day or two before it started acting stranger and stranger. The biggest problem is that the volume control buttons stop working and start changing the... Read full review »

One of the Best CD/MP3/WMA Players on the market

Pros Battery Life, Backlight, resume feature, large navigation screen
Cons No Search Option, and a few other MINOR details, doesn't seem to last for some
Recommended it? Yes

Note: This review is based on my experience with the SP-90 and SP-150 with the Rio Volt. Some models have less, some have more… you will have to carefully look to see your getting the features you want in the particular model you are buying.

The RIO Volt is one of the top of model... Read full review »

A decent product, but doesn't stand out from the crowd

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros All controls and display on front panel
Cons Poor resume feature
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the player after a lot of research (not enough it turned out) for two purposes:
1) to listen to audio books in the car
2) to listen to MP3 music mix CDs
A friend of mine had bought one of Rio's earlier models, the SP100, for listening to audio books in the car, and had been... Read full review »

Rio SP150, Overall Satisfied

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Functionable, good sound, good display, good ergonomics
Cons Bad resume feature, bad rewind and fforward, slow loading time.
Recommended it? Yes

For the function it performs, I have been very happy with the mp3-cd player. I like the display; the folders are displayed nicely and navigating through your files is very user friendly. However, there are a few minor setbacks. One, the resume feature is terrible. It does return to the track you... Read full review »

A solid MP3-CD player

byyuuichi Aug 8, 2003
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
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

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... Read full review »

Good Player for the Money Indeed

Pros Great Price Good Features ID3 Tag info Fair Battery life EQ.
Cons Volume should be louder. Cover does not open up far enough No added accessories.
Recommended it? Yes

The SP150 has gotten a lot of undeserved bad press/user comments. For the price, you get a decent MP3/CD player that even plays WMA files. Using WMA, I was able to get 11 CDs on 1 CDR which the SP150 played flawlessly. The Display is great considering some of the other sparce displays out there on... Read full review »

SP150-Decent until it broke.

byemonerd Mar 1, 2003
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Price, easy to use
Cons Durability, loading time, battery usage, size
Recommended it? No

I want to say from the get-go that my experience with the SP150 was good until about last Monday. It performed decently, with about 7 hours (rough) battery life from a set of AA batteries. Complaints would have included INTERMINABLE wait times and weird instances when the song would change without... Read full review »

Great Mp3 Wma Cd Player

byx___2005 Mar 6, 2004
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros It has very nice battery life and The Player itself is thin and simple.
Cons Hard to get attachments (ie ac power adaptor, remote)
Recommended it? Yes

I think the Rio Volt Sp150 is one of the best purchases you can make. It is

better then the new mp3 player or even an Ipod, because those might not

support WMA. Also it is faster to download the songs to a cd-r, which can

hold 700mb of music and more then 200 songs. I... Read full review »

Pros Nothing.
Cons Bulky design, skips constantly, doesn't work half of the time, horrible firmware,...
Recommended it? No

I bought the Rio Volt SP150 about 3-4 months ago and I have had nothing but problems. It started out fine where it would recognize CDs and play them accordingly. However, after about a week or so, everything went downhill from there. It skips EVERY time it plays a song, and then sometimes it just... Read full review »
