SONICblue ruined the solid-state versions of the Rio with the 600/800 series by pushing their proprietory memery add-on. The only thing that SONICblue's done right recently is their CDROM based MP3 player the RIO Volt. Bad name though: RIOVolting if you ask me.
If you want to see a real (RIO?) cluster-f, look at what they've done with their product "RIO Car." This could have been done right with a removabe PC Card HD and a USB/FW docking station. Instead you get this clunky wholely removabe car deck that costs $1200! And it's not even Mac compatable! SONICblue's design staff is soooo random -- talk about a thousand monkeys typing.

What I want to know is:
Why would I want something with removable media at all, when I have a NOMAD Jukebox with 6GB and I carry my whole CD collection around with me in one device?
I have no desire to go back to lugging around discs, whether they be floppy, ZIp, or CDs.

To the person who has a Jukebox with a hard drive.. You have a different type of player. it is not a portable device. i use my HipZip everywhere. Personally I don't need a Jukebox-like device. I have a 30GB drive with 20GBs of MP3.
Oh and the kicker on the HipZip products. It also acts as a spare drive for DATA. Especially good for those silly iMacs with no removeable storage.
