I can only acclaim the RioVolt and applaud SonicBlue for delivering such a great MP3 portable player. This player is simply the best: best design, best sounding, best features, etc. Nothing has been forgotten� SonicBlue successfully managed to turn what was considered before as a gadget, into an ultimate must have high quality portable audio device. The RioVolt rocks and actually rules the MP3 portable CD player market. If you�re on the look to listen to hours of MP3 music wherever you are, the RioVolt is definitely the best choice you can make. All in all, the RioVolt is an extra-cool, amazing MP3 CD player.
