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.
