When I finally decided to buy an mp3 player, size was the most important factor. If I wanted to lug around a mini hard drive, I would have got an iPod, but it was too damn big. I was then going to get a Karma because of the size, until I saw a Rio Carbon in person. After playing around with it for a little while, I bought it on the spot. It literally fits not only in my pocket, but like way down at the bottom of my pocket, I can't feel it there!
It's 5GB, but wtf do I need 20GB for? I'm not going to listen to 10,000 songs every time I leave the house. The software (Rio Music Manager) is a piece of cake to use in XP; the Carbon shows up like a hard drive and you just drag songs or playlists onto it. It sounds fine: loud and clear. The only thing I miss from it is an FM tuner. Plus it was $85 cheaper than the white Apple hard drive, err mp3 player. iPod ShmyPod; I think those things are retarded. ...My 2 cents.
