I've had a Rio Carbon MP3 player for just over a year. Great little player, sounds great, nice and small. One problem that came to light AFTER I bought it was the poor design of the thumb wheel. Turns out they tend to break and can't be fixed. After reading about this problem I tried to be extra careful but sure enough mine broke. Rio is now out of the mp3 business (a shame, they were a pioneer of the industry as part of Diamond). So I sold the 5GB microdrive to a guy to use in his camera. That should hold a few pictures.
Anyhoo, just pulled the trigger on an iPod. Just the standard 20GB model. Spendy bastards. But I want to use that Apple Lossless compression. And they sound pretty good. 20 gigs is more music than I'll ever load on it but oh well. Damn, loved that Carbon.
