The Diamnond Rio is an excellent little MP3 player. The Software installs easily and is very intuitive when it comes to transfering songs off of cds or pre made MP3s. The interface is also easy to understand. It comes with an attachment that pluggs into a parallel port that has worked flawlessly for me. It will also work with your cd attachment in your car (for those whe still have tape decks.) The only reason for the 4 stars is the lack of memory. 32MB just doesn't cut it. For the price you should be getting more than that. Over all, a good product.

Ok, if you are interested in this product, I'll assume that you already own a Rio, so I guess I can't try to talk you out of that.

GOOD - Small, easy to carry around, cheap compared to OTHER flash memory manufacturers.

BAD - Expensive compared to CD-R, MD, etc.

UGLY - Bad memory clusters will cause skips over time.

Basically, if you have a Rio, and need more memory, this is the stuff to buy. Don't try and find Camera flash cards, and figure out how to use them in your Rio. That would not only be a nuscence, but also would end up costing you more. If you don't own a Rio, and are considering buying one, take a look at my reviews of the PMP300 and the PMP500.

Even though the 16mb disk adds more memory i would personaly try the 32mb disk for optmum expansion

You simply can't buy a RIO without one...I put rock on my main memory, classical on the card...

This mp3 player is the ultimate in portable music players. The only thing bad about it is that there is only 32MB on memory in it. Also the flash memory cards are not that easy to get ahold of from where I'm at. And I believe that this item should be shipped anywhere in North America, not just the U.S!

I have tried several MP3 players and the Diamond Rio PMP300 in my opinion is the best of the bunch.
