Best CD MP3 player

SlimX or Rio Volt SP250? Any differences? Which is better value for money? Which is better quality wise?

SlimX is considered better. Here are the reasons:
1) it looks cooler
2) it's smaller
3) the FM Radio is better than the SP-250/iMP-250

it's downside is that it costs about $20 US more I think. Also, the SlimX has iRivers' excellent support (ie, they update the firmware fairly often).

the RioVolt SP-250 doesn't have nearly as many firmware updates as you might know, and it doesn't have a good FM radio unless you're fairly close to the transmitter.

AFAIK, both have similar skip protection.

Definitely the SlimX. I bought one at launch and have yet to be disappointed.

SP250 isn't a bad unit, but it is much bulkier, has a fairly pathetic FM tuner, and it doesn't have the slick remote/LCD display.

You'll also get more frequent firmware updates with the SlimX, as has already been mentioned.

I had no idea what the SlimX was, so I did a search on Google, and that thing looks awesome! Like Pabster said, it's not as bulky as the RioVolt. When you add batteries to the RioVolt, that makes it pretty heavy...and it would be better to carry in a bag. With the SlimX, it looks like you can slip it into your pocket. Don't drop it though!

Definately the SlimX.


Too bad I can't afford it
