The Rio Carbon Digital Media Player -- 80 hours of Music, Small Size

By Rebecca Blain

The Rio Carbon Digital Media Player is the perfect solution for those who want a respectable amount of memory in a stylish and light jukebox.

Unlike other products by Rio Audio, the Carbon line of players makes use of a compact hard drive in order to store music. While this makes it less suitable for traveling and sports use like the Rio Forge and Cali lines, it is far more suitable for car use.

The base Carbon system, making use of a three gig drive, is designed to handle the needs of those with large MP3 and WMA music albums. While being roughly the same size as the iPod mini, the Carbon comes with more space than the average mini while having the same benefits.

For those planning on carrying your Rio Carbon player with you, the device is roughly the size of a business card. This allows you to slip it and its case into a pocket or purse, or clip it to your belt if you desire. Weighing only 3.2 ounces, you will never notice its weight no matter what you are doing at the time.

This benefit, coupled with the high amount of storage space, makes certain you can make the most of your time and music.

When you purchase your own Rio MP3 player, you can expect to get everything that you need in order to plug it into your computer and begin transferring your files immediately. The base package includes the Carbon player, ear buds, power adapter, USB cable, installation software and carry case. The rechargeable battery included can last up to 20 hours, making certain you can take it anywhere that you want to go without fear of your system running out of power.

You have several options of Rio Carbon players to purchase, ranging from 3 GB to 6 GB of storage space. Also the Pearl model is now available in stores
