Introduction

Ever since MP3`s came around the sales of Compact Disc records has been declining at an alarming rate. More and more people prefer to just download the MP3 of their favorite sound track instead of buying a CD. So, why wouldn't the folks high up in the music industry be angered?. .After all, I can't remember the last time I spent 20 bucks buying a CD..But now they've turned their attention towards the software providers (mp3.com and napster) and taken them to court…. (*sigh*) ……These battles are likely to go on for a while, but we on the other hand can go on listening to 'free' music!!!

The Rio 500 is the second in the range of Diamonds portable MP3 players. ( Rio 300,Rio500 & Rio 600) It comes in a handy, lightweight, compact package complete with 64 MB on board memory, which is expandable via Smart Media cards.
