2.0 out of 5 stars No good for exercising, Fine for sitting., April 22, 2004

I bought this to play MP3s while walking / exercising. It is unusable for that purpose. It skips very often (like every minute) when in motion and when it starts to skip I have to stand still for a few seconds for it continue. Perhaps my unit is defective. It was cheap and is usable for sitting in one place so I won't bother returning it but I do have to buy a new portable MP3 player to walk around with. I'll probably find an ac adapter for this and leave it at work. For the price if it gets stolen it's no big deal.

I think the controls (buttons) are very well designed and the price was the lowest I found.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect, and no nonsense, April 9, 2004

i bought my sp60 on clearence...which i guess is the norm as it seems to be Rio's older model. But that was what made it such a great buy. A $30 or under it plays all CD's and as many MP3 or WMA files you can fit on a disc. It plays flawlessly and sounds really great. Only sometimes when playing back MP3's it will skip if even slightly bumpbed or moved...this is however rare but kinda bugs you when it does do it. Overall this is a great player to buy, and even better if you own Rewritable CD's because you can make discs and erase them to make new ones. They usaually hold about 300 MP3's and i drove non-stop to chicago 5 hours and never got even halfway through the whole disc.
A great player that isn't rocket science to figure out how to work, you won't be disapointed

After ordering a Rio Volt SP60 MP3/CD player, I found it could not play MP3 CD's. I was sent another unit and it too would not play MP3. The MP3 CD was burned on a PC and plays on other MP3 compatible players (i.e SP50).

I believe since the software in the SP60 is Version 1.0, it's possible there are still some format issues yet to solve. The RioVolt company could not assist in any way, so the unit was returned.
