Nicely lightweight and easily pocketable, the RCA Lyra RD2315 flash memory digital audio player goes with you wherever you roam and offers 512 MB of storage. And unlike many of today's palm-sized players, it features large, easily accessible and intuitive controls as well as a good-sized, dual orientation LCD (which also lets you choose between red, blue, or purple backlighting). It comes with both a neck strap and a belt clip for easy transport. It has 512 MB of flash memory storage and playback capability for both MP3 and WMA, and it's also compatible with DRM-protected WMA files from online stores or subscription services (including Audible.com). The 512 MB memory will store approximately 8 hours of CD-quality MP3 tracks (encoded at 128 kbps) or 16 hours of WMA tracks (at 64 kbps). You can also expand the Lyra's memory with optional Secure Digital (SD) and MMC memory cards. In addition to digital audio playback, the Lyra also has a built-in FM tuner (with 20 presets) featuring an FM record function, enabling you to capture your favorite songs and programs to MP3. It also has a voice recorder for short notes to yourself and line-in jack for direct recording capability from external sources such as a cassette deck or CD player. It connects to PCs via an ultra-fast USB 2.0 connection, and will easily connect with both Windows and Mac-based computers. It's powered by a single AAA battery, which provides up to 20 hours of continuous usage. What's in the Box

 Wonderful can't have enough of them February 8, 2008
This product is everything you would need if you're looking for an mp3 recorder. I purchased it for our church as a back up unit in case something goes wrong and it has turned out to be our primary sermon recording unit. I couldn't be happier:)
 A good expandable MP3 September 17, 2007

RCA Lyra RD2315 512 MB Personal Digital Audio Player with Voice, Line-in and FM Recording This is good for the person who wants an MP3 for books, and music and recording in class. most college students can tell you about that. It can hold a 2 gig sd card which are chip as chips and will hold up to about 30 LP's or CD's or it will resord for hours if you have a long class and the prof. never know it is even in the class. Most MP3 don't have the SD chips but my friends and I have been shopping around for all the one's that do. One's that hold pictures MP3, movies, music vidio's and more because we can trade then with each other and have all types music and stuff at a touch.

 It broke. February 28, 2007

While this thing was working, I lenjoyed it. For what it was anyway. It's good for background music at work or workout. It's slow to start and respond, all problems other reviews stated, but lightweight and I think shaped very well with clip and all.
The problem is that I started it up one day and had progressively worse errors till now when it only displays the logo and the lights stay on permanently. I'd buy another one for work (where it might get broke) if I can find it for cheap enough.
 I hate this little MP3 player... June 12, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The only thing I like about it is the sound quality is good. I can fit about 130 songs.
Cons:
It's very slow, everytime you go through your files you have to wait while it loads. It's pretty annoying, especially if you are looking for something far down the list and you have to wait each time.
I find it hard to use. There are so many times when I just want to go to the main menu and it doesn't go, and programming is difficult.
I leave the player to choose my songs on random, but random is very weird. I'm used to players going through the whole list, never repeating a song, until all the songs are done. This player will play the same song you just heard 3 songs ago. Also, say you pick a song, and it randomly chooses the rest for you. Somehow, it memorizes that order or something, because say you choose that song again some other day to start off, it will play the same songs again in the same order.
Sometimes I'll be listening to songs on random and it will just stop and go back to the main menu.
I really wish I didn't buy this, but the salesperson told me this was the best seller and he never had any complaints about it. I listened to him, even though I thought it was hideous. Don't buy this, spend a little more money and get an IPOD.
 A below-average mp3. No resume function. April 30, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I got this mp3 from Target, mainly because of the 1). good review in amazon.com; 2). good price; 3). SD expansion ability.
However, after I tried it for 1 hour, I got disappointed.
Altough RCA tried to make his customers happy, this machine is poorly designed beacuse of 2 important thing 1). there is no resume function, which means if I listen to a 1 hour file and stopped at 20 minutes place, the machine can not remember the point I stopped and will play from the begining next time I turned on the machine. 2). when you put a SD card into the expansion slot, part of the card extrude out the machine, and not completely protected.
Nowadays, mp3 player is not only for songs and music. the designer of a mp3 player must consider the possibility that a customer will possibly use it for long audio book tracks.
These 2 shortcoings are enough to kill all the other endeavours RCA tried to upgrade their mp3.
