I bought this player because I wanted to start doing the mp3 thing and thought that, given the price this would be a good place to start. If the implementation of my plan called for something better, I thought, I could upgrade down the line. I have to say in all honesty that I never loaded a single mp3 into it, because I found it's standard cd playback so lacking. The measure of a good cd player is that it can still play an old or fair-condition cd well. Not this player! The slightest imperfection and it was skipping or out of business altogether. Also, It was very sensitive to shock which annoyed even my daughter when I tried to fob it off on her. It eats batteries like a fiend in anti-skip mode. I gave it two stars because of it's neat features: a line out in addition to headphones out, a backlit lcd. Still, it's nothing if it doesn't do what it's supposed to. I'd look elsewhere if I were you.
No good for exercising, Fine for sitting. April 22, 2004

I bought this to play MP3s while walking / exercising. It is unusable for that purpose. It skips very often (like every minute) when in motion and when it starts to skip I have to stand still for a few seconds for it continue. Perhaps my unit is defective. It was cheap and is usable for sitting in one place so I won't bother returning it but I do have to buy a new portable MP3 player to walk around with. I'll probably find an ac adapter for this and leave it at work. For the price if it gets stolen it's no big deal.I think the controls (buttons) are very well designed and the price was the lowest I found.

After ordering a Rio Volt SP60 MP3/CD player, I found it could not play MP3 CD's. I was sent another unit and it too would not play MP3. The MP3 CD was burned on a PC and plays on other MP3 compatible players (i.e SP50).I believe since the software in the SP60 is Version 1.0, it's possible there are still some format issues yet to solve. The RioVolt company could not assist in any way, so the unit was returned.

i bought my sp60 on clearence...which i guess is the norm as it seems to be Rio's older model. But that was what made it such a great buy. A $30 or under it plays all CD's and as many MP3 or WMA files you can fit on a disc. It plays flawlessly and sounds really great. Only sometimes when playing back MP3's it will skip if even slightly bumpbed or moved...this is however rare but kinda bugs you when it does do it. Overall this is a great player to buy, and even better if you own Rewritable CD's because you can make discs and erase them to make new ones. They usaually hold about 300 MP3's and i drove non-stop to chicago 5 hours and never got even halfway through the whole disc.
A great player that isn't rocket science to figure out how to work, you won't be disapointed
