...when you figure out how to use it.
For the longest time I had a RioVolt, and used it to play normal CD's. There's a CD burnner upstairs, but it's a pain in the rear to bounce things around the network.
Anyway, I wanted a mp3 player like the Nomad 2 to put my music on easy, but due to it's small space, I had to convert everything to WMA.
In the midst, of this I realized
1 It's faster to throw things upstairs when it's smaller
2 my RioVolt will play WMA
3 CD's carry a lot of space.
4 I'm an idiot.
So I made a CD of all my stuff in folders and so on, and it works! there's 238 pieces of music on it now, and the player fully loads it or something(the shock protection is amazing... something like 45 seconds).
Anyway, before you go buy a mp3 player, consider a RioVolt. It's way cool.
Just a thought 'cause I was so pleased with it when I figured out how to use it right.
