RIO VOLT SP100
Compact disc/MP3 player
Price: US$149 retail
* The Good
This is great sneaky technology. Folks who burn compact discs at home as collections of MP3 digital music files are usually stymied when it comes to listening to them easily on the go. By decompressing each MP3 as it plays, one compact disc can hold 13 hours or so of continuous music.
* The Bad
Digital music is heading for its watershed year and there are already fully digital devices that use no disc and play 10 times the music, so cheats like this will likely be pointless soon enough.
* Who Should Buy
Got CDs already burned and waiting? This is your machine.
* Who Should Not
New to MP3? Wait, and check into items like the Nomad Jukebox.
