  Just Throw Your Money In the Trash and Save Time

  by backtoipod on August 23, 2010

  Pros: Absolutely none.

  Cons: Ripper software doesn't work. Owner's manual is a joke. There's nothing there except instructions on plugging it into your computer. I wish I had just thrown my money in the trash and not wasted the weekend trying to make this work.

  Summary: I just wanted a little mp3 for my runs and thought this would be great. Made the mistake of letting it sit on my counter for a couple of months ...

  Summary: I just wanted a little mp3 for my runs and thought this would be great. Made the mistake of letting it sit on my counter for a couple of months before trying it out and now it's too late to return. BUY SOMETHING ELSE! I've set up my music library on to three Ipods and a Blackberry Storm with no problems so I'm not a computer dummy. I never got my music to transfer. The music that came preloaded sounded tinny and the earbuds that came with the set were like toys.

  I loved this player

  by soflatracy on February 23, 2008

  Pros: Good sound, easy expansion slot access

  Cons: Batteries didn't seem to last that long so I used rechargeables

  Summary: Positive! I think I paid just around $50 for this player and it has lasted several years. It came with RCA earbuds in a case, a lanyard, a protective carrying ...

  Summary: Positive! I think I paid just around $50 for this player and it has lasted several years. It came with RCA earbuds in a case, a lanyard, a protective carrying case, driver software and I believe the usb cord for uploading. I have never had a problem with downloading music onto the player from windows media, yahoo or itunes. It was a very good value for the product that I received. It was able to accomodate the 2GB expansion card without any problems.
  I am getting ready to regift this player to a relative since I have too many now, but I hate to see it go. I do love this player!

  Worked OK for me, but I don't recommend

  by DouglasNC on September 18, 2006

  Pros: Good sound quality, FM radio, decent LCD readout

  Cons: Buttons difficult to toggle, no auto resume, confusing progrmming features

  Summary: I can't really say this was a bad purchase. Sounds like others have had chronic issues with the sound volume and broken buttons. Fortunately, none of that happened to ...

  Summary: I can't really say this was a bad purchase. Sounds like others have had chronic issues with the sound volume and broken buttons. Fortunately, none of that happened to mine. But to toggle between radio and music and the playlist is frustrating as you have to jostle the button a lot to get it to work. The user guide is less than user friendly and I never did figure out how to program the radio. When you turn it off or jump to radio there is no auto resume on the player, it starts again at the beginning of the track. Another annoyance is the display light which always stays on, this kills the battery life. Otherwise it's been a solid player with no malfunctions and good sound. But based on the problems it could develop I would continue looking.

  Buy a different player

  by Rjw on September 29, 2005

  Pros: built-in tuner, expandable

  Cons: Difficult to use, breaks, poor customer service

  Summary: Volume control broke after 3-months (used about 6 times). Returned unit under warranty and now fighting with customer service to get unit replaced. They sent me a letter stating "To ...

  Summary: Volume control broke after 3-months (used about 6 times). Returned unit under warranty and now fighting with customer service to get unit replaced. They sent me a letter stating "To provide service under the terms of your warranty for your product, payment in the amount of $107.70 must be submitted..." - pretty steep for a $59.99 player still under warranty.

  Why buying this player ?

  by charlesbelisle on March 4, 2005

  Pros: Simple to use, inexpensive

  Cons: Bad FM tuner, bad navigation, obligatory backlight, not so compact, terrible build quality, slow, bad battery life

  Summary: Simple : if you buy this player, you just have money to waste. This is a very bad player.

  "Complete waste of money"

  by on February 20, 2005

  Pros: i like the purple colour

  Cons: I'll try to keep this short.... i bought the RD1080 when it first came out and wasn't finding it too bad until the volume button broke right after the warranty expired(naturally). right now the volume is at max and i can't turn it down at all which is s

  Good player, but prone to problems and lacks customer support

  by on January 12, 2005

  Pros: When new the product is great. It has great sound quality, and an FM radio with gonerally good reception.

  Cons: It is not very sturdy and is very prone to problems. RCA has a horrible customre support system, and I can almost guarantee that you will need it. I would defenitely not recommend it because for the money you could easily find a better player.

  Right channel died after 40 hours.

  by on January 2, 2005

  Pros:

  Cons: I bought my MP3 player for skiing, so it was only used for a short time the first season. The second ski season, the right channel crapped out and now doesn't work at all. Of course, now it's off warranty, even though it's still almost brand new. I'm goin

  Almost, but not quite

  by on December 6, 2004

  Pros: Good FM reception, holds 250+ songs with a 1GB SD. Cheap.

  Cons: Poor menu. Can't clear programmed selections (you can only override them), and scanning is contiguous, one song at a time. You can't foward via album (or subdirectory).
