I have the Rio. It is OK. The one cool thing is that it supports WMA in addition to MP3. WMA sounds way better than MP3. Of course, neither are going to sound as good as DVD-Audio or SACD on your big rig. But on an airplane or in a car, WMA is very nice. I'm not big into compressed audio formats, so I only use the Rio when I travel.

Has anyone tired the new Rio? I have been waiting to buy the Nomad jukebox, mainly for its storage capacity, but my girlfriend bought me the new Rio as a present yesterday after the salesman told her it was the latest and greatest player. Are these things evolving quickly? Could it sound better, have better software or features etc. I have yet to download my first file so I remain clueless. Thank you.
