RioVolt SP50 Portable CD/MP3 Player

The RioVolt portable MP3-CD player grants free listening across standard audio CDs, in addition to the MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files that you have recorded to CD-Rs and CD-RWs, letting you enjoy over 20 hours of digital audio from one CD (or around 250 songs). Plus, RioVolt’s large backlit LCD supports both ID3 tags and CD Text, simplifying song identification from any compatible disc, even as 120-second antishock circuitry guards your listening almost anywhere.

Amazingly, the RioVolt sports a playback time of up to 10 hours on two AA batteries (included), making it the first disc player we know of that can’t play a single CD in its entirety.

The ID3 text display includes track number, song name, artist name, folder (album title), and overall playing time. The RioVolt also means that you can navigate through directories and seek for tracks separately or in blocks of 10.

A sleek eight-function remote keep an eye on means that you can operate the RioVolt even as it is tucked away in its carrying case or even in a backpack. The RioVolt comes bundled with RealNetworks music management software and Adaptec CD-burning software to be used on your PC or Macintosh.

Audio features include adjustable equalization curves with five presets (normal, jazz, rock, classical, ultrabass), repeat and shuffle play modes, and programmable playlists.

The RioVolt comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
