Best deal on MP3s
I had purchased about 5 of these to give away to my nieces and nephews. They all love them. I have one and find it easy to use. The sound quality is great but you have to take into consideration where and how you are downloading from. I purchased a Sony headset for $10 and it makes a big difference with the sound, the headset that comes with it is not that great. One problem with this MP3 is that the volume control can break if you are not extra careful. One of my nephews broke his but was able to keep using it with a headset that have volume adjustment, which I got for less than $10. The size is also a plus, so small they fit in your pocket. I did purchase a video creative and I haven't been able to get used to it so I am selling it. I went back to my Rio, I do love it, it doesn't have the limitations of the Mini ipod and it has more GB, At one time I fill it up with a little over 3,000 songs (CDs downloads) I also had downloaded books from the library website (for free) and they work great. I have a cousin that owns a Lyra and it gets very hot when using and charging, It also takes for ever to download, unlike the Rio. I highly recommend the RIO CARBON. This here is a great price and it comes with a case that protects it.

Overall Excellent with a few quirks
I've had the Rio Carbon for about a year and I couldn't live without it. It is a nice compact size and the audio quality is great. The price was a bit higher when I bought it but it was so worth it. The software it comes with looks simple to use but it is a bit tricky. Creating and managing playlists for the mp3 player takes some work. I still haven't managed to figure out how to sync it so it downloads new songs in my library automatically, thought it will supposedly do that. The battery is still going stong 1 year later - I have the backlight turned off 99% of the time to conserve the charge. Another quirk: if you try and charge it with the power off, it will freeze up. It also restarts itself once in a while for no reason, but it doesn't seem to be a problem other than the date and time reset as well (slightly annoying). I am very glad I went with this over the ipod mini - I feel as though I definitely got a good bargain.

Rio Carbon a Good Buy
Considering the current prices for similar units, the Rio Carbon is well worth the money. It is easy to upload and operate. The case is cumbersome, but all in all a good unit.

Rio Carbon
I own 3 RIO Carbons and one iPod. I find RIO user interface design to be more intuitive than that of iPod. It integrates easily with Musicmatch, which I use to manage my music. Over all very happy with Rio. Have not had any problems in last 3 years or so. I would higly recommend Rio to anyone who does not need more than 5-6 GB memory.

Tough little MP3 Player
I am not tough on my equipment but, If it doesn't have at least one dent in it, it is still in the box. It seems to be standing up to physical abuse so it is tough. Features, well first buy your own ear pieces. The one that comes with the player are killers. I was only able to download about 800 song, which isn't too bad but not as many as I was hoping for. I had the Rio Cali and loved it, except it didn't hold enough songs. With the Rio carbon you give up the radio tuner. I do like the fact that you can recharge the battery.

Carbon mp3
This product was easy to set up and download Very computer friendly very good product

Not too shabby
I had the older version of this mp3 player. I love the interface. I HATE ipods, so i was excited to see a larger version of my old one. however, it does random things like turn off in the middle of a song, or start a new genre. its odd. and that can be annoying when i can't access the player right away like when i'm riding my motorcycle. other than that, the player is excellent. easy to use, good buttons, various versions of the "lock mode" which make it convenient.
