 PCMONDE-sellerApr 24, 2009
I bought Rio Carbon 5G MP3 player from PCMONDE in January. Problem before 90 day warranty. Could not get help from Rio Carbon as company is now sold. I contacted the seller PCMONDE. They pursued this problem for a 100% satisfied customer. Thank you PCMONDE
Great mp3 player!Nov 25, 2008
I got this mp3 player in Christmas of 05', so I have had it for 3 years. It works great. The quality of the player and the sound of the music is amazing. I have it in the 2.5 GB. Just a great overall mp3 player, and I recommend it to everyone. Just this past summer the battery started to last less than it usually did. So the battery lasted at full capacity for 2.5 years before it started to need more frequent charges. Very simple to upload music to it. Out of the 3 years I have had it, I have only had it freeze once, after I uploaded lots of songs. The headphones that come with the player are also very nice, and give great sound quality.
 DON"T BUY THIS>>>>>>>>>>>>!Oct 03, 2008
I bought a Rio Pearl with a 90 day warranty. It died about 85 days later. Neither the authorized Rio dealer (internet) nor the amazon merchant PCMONDE would honor the warranty. In fact the authorized repair/dealer said that the Pearl has not been made since 2003. If you buy this item, you will be a victim as I was. Rondie the sadRio Carbon 5 GB MP3 Player
 Rio Carbon MP3 5GB PlayerMay 25, 2008
I have enjoyed this product for years, downloading books and listening to them while I relax, clean the house, work in the yard, etc. I bought my own earphones because earbuds never stay in my ears. The Rio device works beautifully. It downloads easily and the sound is clear. It bookmarks which is extremely helpful because once in a while I have leaned against something with the Rio in my pocket and suddenly I find my self at the beginning of the book again. No problem; the bookmark feature takes me back to my spot.
The battery cannot be replaced. The first one lasted about 4 years and is now fading, losing power even when not in use, so I recently bought the same model again.
Take your chances.....Mar 03, 2008
Well, the carbon is good in ease to use as well as pretty good battery life. Be warned though, the little volume wheel is very cheaply inserted in the player and if you drop it, or even press hard on it, it will cave in into the play itself, and then you can ajust volume or navigate the menus fast. When i had mine, it did this exact thing 2 times, and after spending 100 bucks to get it repaired, it breaks again, and i decided to buy an ipod and have never been happier. My advice, skip this and buy a 4 or 8 gig nano, or a Creative zen.
