My Rio Karma (Score 1)

I admit, I bought mine BECAUSE of the very fact that an Ipod w/ comprable storage costed $100 more at the time. But I have to say that I am pleasantly suprised at my investment. I love the fact that it generates random play lists, and that the software that comes w/ (Rio Music Manager) is actually a very user-friendly package- unlike MusicMatch. Actually, I am going to be getting an AUX hookup where I can bring it with me in my car- JUST B/C RIO DOESN'T ADVERTISE IT, DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT CAN'T BE DONE (and relatively easily too- I might add)!!! The only complaint I have is that they do not offer a carrying case for it- something that you could attach it to your belt or an armband- but I also found my way around that, by using a pda case that attaches to your belt. In stars, I would give it a 4 out of 5, but when you take into account the storage, and price it would probably be a 5 star investment.
