Most MP3 players are not made that well, RIO is the best of the lot. The 600 is functional but has little memory, and as of yet, expansion memory is not available, and no prices are set for it as well; you really don't know what you're going to be charged. There is an 800 model coming out with twice the memory, definitely worth waiting for. Buy a RIO, just not this one, yet. Wait for more information.
