4.0 out of 5 stars
Rhomba is fine little player, December 20, 2003
By A Customer
I just received the Rhomba 128M MP3 player and its quite a good value.Pluses - Recorder function also with FM radio.
Nice display
Li-on Battery, good life between charges
Windows XP recognizes it as a drive, no need for
special download software like the Rio players. Negative Filmsy switching for track forward/backward
No beltclip
Included ear buds are totally useless and built for elephant size ears, you'll need to use another headphone. No expansion capability Need a USB charger if you travel (these are about $10) I have used Rio MP3 players in the past (original MP300 parallel port, RioOne, S35S), but this is more functional.

New to MP3, January 10, 2004
By A Customer
Being new to MP3s I really had no idea what to get, but after ALOT of research and questions I decided on this player. It has all the features I wanted, like the voice-recorder, and the ability to record from FM tuner (which I like the best). So many times I have heard songs on the radio and wished to record them, now i can with just a simple push of a button. The workings of this player took some time to figure out, but i think i have it down, without the help of a manual or instructions. This player is really VERY easy to use.The Creative MediaSource software is GREAT!! Makes it super easy to transfer tracks to and from the player. Also nice for converting files to different formats for recording. I've even played my DVD movies on my computer with it (great pic and sound quality). I have only had this player for about a month but have used it often and tested all of the features more than once. No problems so far (knock on wood). All-in-all this player is super "user-friendly", even for 'Newbies' like me. It's sleek, small, has a very readable back-lit display (adjustable), nice buttons, and great sound quality (i've hooked it up to external speakers and couldn't believe how loud i put it before any distortion).
There is so much more i could say, could rave for days, but they only give so much room for the review.

Great Player/Radio/USB drive, but..., March 1, 2004
I ordered this great little player as a birthday gift to myself. It's outstanding except for one problem - The firmware is the unit as shipped was buggy! In version 1.04.3, any interrupted transfer to the device causes it to malfunction! I looked up the Creative support forum and dozens of people reported the same problem, namely a complete lockup of the unit and subsequent inability to "boot" it... My first unit failed after about fifteen minutes of playing with it, loading files, etc. Needless to say, I was distressed. Turns out YOU MUST UPDATE THE FIRMWARE as soon as you get it recharged. Another point I must strongly emphasize is that YOU MUST "EJECT" THE DEVICE under Windows BEFORE DISCONNECTING IT. I'm happy to report that firmware version 1.05.1 is much better and that I have not "crashed" since updating to it. I'm really enjoying it! I love this product and would give it 5 stars were it not for the buggy firmware that shipped with it. Cheers!
