Died shortly after arrival

Pros Looks cool, good sound, small
Cons Died shortly after arrival
Recommended it? Yes

I managed to load about 100 songs onto my Nitrus 1.5GB and then it stopped recognizing my computer. It said "USB Connected" and "Initializing" and that is as far as it got. I tried it on another computer and got the same result. Tech support, which is NOT toll-free and is located in India, was... Read full review »

The Rio Nitrus Is the Best Windows-Based MP3 Player on the Market

Pros Small, nice capacity, light, easy-to-use controls
Cons LED screen is small, not Apple compatible
Recommended it? Yes

This player has not garnered much attention in the media, but it is truly an astonishing product. Very small footprint, about the size of a credit card (but thicker), has outstanding software and is designed with excellent controls. Powerful, clear sound. Highly recommended. I love mine 100%!

Recommended it? No

I have had a Rio Nitrus for 16 months. I am happy with the software, the form and function. It holds enough music for me. I recently had to unload something to have room for GodSpell. That was the first time I had to unload a song. I have 371 songs and room for maybe 10 more. I like that the RIO... Read full review »

I LOVED MY 1ST MP3 PLAYER

Pros I LOVED IT, I WAS GOING TO GIVE IT TO MY WIFE WHEN I UPGRADED
Cons IT COMPLETELY DIED AFTER 1 MONTH OF VERY LITTLE USE.
Recommended it? No

UPS: LOADED ON COMPUTER WITH EASE, HELD A LONG CHARGE, LOVED THE MENU LAYOUT, LOVED THE COLOR, LOVED THE SOUND AND VOLUME, LOVED THE PRESENT EQs AND THE OPTION TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN EQ. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION THE SOFTWARE WILL CONNECT TO CDDB AND DOWNLOAD ALL INFORMATION.

Best 3 months I ever had!

2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros cost, small, easy to use, holds about 300 songs
Cons bad tech support, player freezes up,upgrader software didn't work
Recommended it? No

I bought two players for about $120 each, one to give to someone else. I found it easy to use and the sound was good. The problem came about 3mos later when it started freezing up. Upgrader software didn't help at all. I continued to get the hums and ticking of the hard drive. After 2mos of trying... Read full review »

Pros good sound quality, pretty good battery life
Cons short lifespan, bad warranty

my family and I purchased 2 Rio Nitruses for $150 each. They both broke within four months of buying them. I definitely do not recommend this product to anyone because of its short lifespan and horrible warranty. Read full review »

Pros Size, internal battery
Cons Everything else.......
Recommended it? No

Man, I thought I found the perfect MP3, the right price point, great size, great sound. Boy, was I wrong. Right out of the chute, I was having issues with this thing, but I thought it was me. Just check out all the bad online reviews this thing has. It can be chance. Uploads are sporadic, you get... Read full review »

Nice MP3 Player, but battery won't hold a charge

byprodigalson Feb 10, 2005
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good capacity memory, small size
Cons Shoddy battery, no holster/belt clip/arm band
Recommended it? No

The Nitrus would be a nice value for the money if it wasn't for the fact that the battery will not hold a charge. The battery on the Nitrus is an integrated, non removable type. The first charge was good for 10+ hours. After that, the subsequent charges were only good for approximately 5 minutes,... Read full review »

Pros The people who helped me over the phone were happy.
Cons The worst experience I have ever had with an online buy.
Recommended it? No

First off, I ended up sending this player back after realizing I was buying a dud. So after only 16 hours of cancelling my buy, which they claim online is ok, they proceded to tell me that my unit was already "shipped." Yeah, right... After about an hour, b/c they claimed I didn't buy one b/c their... Read full review »
