Have you guys SEEN this?
I have a Rio Carbon, and I was kind of sad that Rio went down the tube...but I don't have money to get a new player, plus I really love my Carbon. I was just surfing the net a few nights ago and I came across this new firmware!
It's Version 3.02 - The Developer's Cut.
Here's what's new:
"Now Playing" menu when you click the click wheel.
On The Go Playlists. (Picture)
Sleep Timer - pause or stop anywhere between 1 minute and 47 hours. (Picture)
Text (.txt) file viewer. (Picture)
Improved start-up time (was 17seconds with 1.95 firmware now 10seconds)
Faster integrating and finalising after adding new content (seems faster to me)
Choice of what happens when you only select 1 track - either just play that 1 track and stop or start from that track and continue to play the rest of the album.
Choice of what the stop button does - stop or pause.
Choice of pad being a play/stop button when locked.

You have to reload all your music...or, apparently, there is a way around that if you read up on the other forums. I just reloaded some music since I tend to do that once a month anyways.
You can download it here. (right click & save as).
And you can read up on it here or here.
As soon as I saw that no one had said it screwed up their player, I downloaded it and put it right on my player. It makes my Carbon PERFECT. Before, I couldn't wait until it died so I could have a legit reason to ask my parents to get a new player...now I am dreading the day it dies... I mean seriously: syncing with no software, on the go playlists, and quality sound. It's all I need!!
If you have a Rio Carbon and you were sad about Rio closing...well, I highly reccomend this firmware update. It's awesome and it will make you excited about your Rio again!
