I received my Rio Carbon 2 weeks ago. Battery life is batter than 20 hours. I got 20 hours 27 minutes using 128 kbps CBR mp3 with eq off. Volume set at 23/30. I let my carbon under play all tracks until the battery died. If I use my carbon and pressing the buttons intermittenly and with...

I'm looking for an audio ripper that's reliabe and produces good quality when converting to mp3's. I need one that has the option for constant bit rate. I dont know which one is good, so I figure I'd ask here for some recommendation on the three I listed. DBpowerAmp EAC - Exact...

1) I noticed that when i installed Rio Music Manager, it asked me if I wanted to "synchronized". What exactly does that mean and what does it do (advantages and/or disadvantages)? 2)I want to rip my audio cd's into mp3. I use to do that with a program called Zen Micro Explorer, and it gave me...

Micro is great, I owned one, until i decided to go with the rio carbon. price wise, carbon is better than micro. battery wise, carbon dominates and stomps micro over and over again. size wise, carbon spanks and whips the micro. user interface, carbon is killing the micro. carbon is so damn easy...

i've owned a zen micro, its a neat player with good features. fm tuner was overwhelmingly weak outdoors when i was listening to a radio station located just 2 miles away. a radio station which can transmit signals for 150 miles on a good fm tuner. battery is also on the downside. at most its 8...

i'll answer #3 since the other 3 questions are answered. http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...hone+jack+poll in reality, the headphone jack problem occurs in roughly 31% of the micro for the people who posts online. thatt is a significant high percentage. it is also noted that battery...

how much gb of space does the carbon come in when you open up a new rio carbon? my friend owns a zen micro, and he said he had 4749 mb or 4.749 gb of space when he got his. thnx, appreciate a response.

my friend said he saw a movie onces where this virgin got cream pied. i dont know what it meant, is that similar to a clown getting hit by a white cream cake on the face?

I can buy the Rio Carbon on Amazon.com for 179.99 with rebate, that will get me to 159.99. or I can go to bestbuy, buy the carbon for 199.99+tax=215+29.99(2 year product replacement plan)=245$ (minus rebate=225$) i'm not familiar with the bestbuy 2 year product replacement plan. but i...

okay, i've had a tough time between the carbon and micro also, a tough time in deciding that is. i owned a micro, i dont know why i returned it, i guess the bad headphone jack problems users complained of scared me. amazon refunded me through amazon.com store credit. 1 month later, the...

The rio carbon is 179 -20$ rebate=159 and the rio carbon pearl is now 199. I just ordered a Zen Micro (amazon.com hasnt shipped it out yet) more than a week ago for $223. I'm debating if I should cancel my order. The rio carbon offer is a pretty damn good deal. what do you folks think...

is it true that you can charge the micro in any country w/o the need for electricty converter? all you need is the proper plug to connect to the electric outlet?

they still havent notified me that they shipped the item. even on super saver, they give a notification that they sent the item out.

I owned a black zen micro which i bought off amazon.com on amazon in january 9, 2005. i paid by money order. i received my micro 2 weeks later. i was very amazed and satisfied at how fast they processed my money order and sent my item to be shipped. my item arrived 8 days ahead of the predicted...

when did you buy it / how long have you had your micro before it was stolen?

i just placed an order for a a micro. it was a tough, very hard decision to make. the carbon seemed like a good choice, since you can operate the buttons and adjust the volume inside the pant's pocket. but i'm happy. once i get the job that pays good money, i can always save up to get a a...

new ipod mini? i need to get with the program. does it have fm tuner, replaceable battery, voice record?

I am debating between the micro or carbon. the carbon is great because it cost less. plus i can get a 20$ rebate. i dont really know what to get. i owned a micro, but i returned it because the headphone jack problems from what i read scared me.

i think the carbon is an ugly player when compared to the zen micro. between the carbon and micro, it is way too hard to call which one i like. i might go with carbon by a slight edge, even though i've owned a micro.

1- My Jack is fine 2- My Jack is/was broken 3- I know someone who has a micro and theirs is fine 4- I know someone who has a micro and their's is broken This is the results thus far as of 2/17/05. This is the combined results for creative.com and this forum's poll. 1- 35 (55%) 2-...

i've been waiting 8 business days now (excluding saturdays and sundays), for a total of 10 days, waiting for the amazon.com email that says, "we have processed your return order, and you will get a refund, and so on...." i bought my DAP from amazon on amazon.com itself. they said it takes...

its okay for people to say there is no problem with theirs, such as a headphone jack problem, especially if they have never experience it. but once they experience the problem, oh yeah, i can see it coming from a mile a way. there is a headphone jack problem, just check out topics in other...

i'm getting a micro, again, at the end of the month the first one didnt have any problem, but i returned it anyways after reading a lot of problems in forums. my question is, i bought my micro at amazon.com, where did you folks buy your micros at? and did you get extended warranty...

mine was fine,so i voted for no problem with my micro. i've had it for 2 weeks before i decided to return it after reading a lot of headphone jack problems. but i'm willing to buy the micro again, whenever i get my money back from amazon.com. gosh it is taking them forever to process my return...

that's stupid that it doesnt play in order of the way it is meant to be. i hope they create a firmware to fix it. but knowing iriver, they lie all the time and they dont keep promises on actual firmware release date. and the h10 is big, length-wise. i gotta touch it at bestbuy also, and i...
