khakuda's Full Review: Rio 600 (32 MB) MP3 Player
I purchased this unit at Circuit city because it was marked to $99, less $80 worth of rebates (so, $20) - too good to pass up. I was really happy with it for about 10 days, until it suddenly stopped working. Tried a new battery and - nothing. Brought it back to CC and they exchanged it, no problem. The new one worked for 5 days and did the same thing. Works for a while and then shuts off, even though the battery indicator says 85% battery life remaining.

When I brought the second one back, the woman said that she got 2 others back the same day for the same problem.

Life is too short - save the $20 and get another brand or wait until they debug this one. As a final insult, the headphones are unusable and don't fit in human ears.
