Rio Diamond MP3 Player

Taking portable CD players to new extremes, the RioVolt SP250 lets you play both standard music CDs and CDs containing MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) files--making it possible to store up to 350 songs on a single CD. Designed for the serious music enthusiast, the SP250 is one of the most advanced multifunction CD players on the market. Building on the award-winning features of the original RioVolt SP100, the SP250 adds: 8-minute shock protection that stores multiple songs in memory and stops the disc from spinning, protecting music from skipping, regardless of conditions. An integrated FM tuner with custom programs that make it easy to find the right station. A highly customizable user interface based on the award-winning Rio 800 solid-state MP3 player that gives you absolute control over how you listen to your music. Rechargeable batteries that grant more than 15 hours of playback with quick recharging capabilities. An AC adapter is also included for nonstop music. 2 styles of headphones--folding headphones and earphones--for freedom of choice and comfort. A convenient inline remote control for using the player while it's tucked in a backpack or briefcase. The same high-resolution backlit LCD as that on the award-winning Rio 800 for a large, clear display. Support for firmware upgrades via downloading (wherein you'd burn the updates onto a CD to be read by the player, ensuring that the SP250 is always up-to-date). Adjustable EQ, repeat, and shuffle play modes, and programmable playlists. Simple PC and Macintosh audio-management software that lets you organize music and rip CDs. Support for ID3 tags and CD Text title display to recognize audio and data CDs that have built-in song titles and display them on the SP250's large LCD for better navigation. A newly designed carrying case with functional access to the unit's controls.
