	The Adrenaline Vault \| Hardware Review \| Diamond Rio PMP300 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Okay, the Diamond Rio PMP300 doesn't really have anything to do with gaming, but it is a cool peripheral for the hot mp3 technology that everyone loves.
		The Diamond Rio (not to be confused with the country group is a portable mp3 player that allows you to download the tunes from your computer to listen to anywhere you choose.
		The Rio has 32 MB of memory on-board, which is referred to as the Internal Memory by the Rio Manager.

	Rio PMP300 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rio PMP300 was the second portable consumer MP3 digital audio player (portable digital audio player), and was produced by Diamond Multimedia.
		Connection to a personal computer was through the computer's parallel port, with a proprietary connector on the Rio's edge.
		Consequently owners wanting to keep their Rio working use independently produced freeware programs such as "Dreaming of Brazil" to upload audio files to the player.

		Getting back to the Rio's spec sheet, readers can see that the signal to noise ratio (95dB) and the overall distortion rate (.01 -.1%) are fairly competitive versus other portable audio format players.
		The overall battery consumption rate of the Rio is impressive, with a stock alkaline AA battery turning in 10hrs on our continuous music playback tests.
		One portion of the Rio's spec sheet that didn't jibe with our real world experience was the "10 seconds per 1MB" rating for transferring MP3 songs from your computer to the Rio via a parallel pass through cable.

	sharky extreme - hardware - diamond rio pmp300 portable mp3 player review
		People familiar with the introduction of the Sony walkman series of portable audio players in the early 80s remember back fondly to what were essentially players that were marketed not on their audio quality merits, but on their ability to fit the buyers lifestyle.
		The Diamond Rio PMP300 should also be looked at in the light that it provides a nice ability to provide music to anyone under any situation (even jogging where the Rio's non-skipping qualities stand out over other portable audio formats).
		We suspect that most purchasers of the Rio PMP300 won't be too concerned with its audio clarity however, as the unit is well suited to environments where sound definition isn't as important.

	Diamond multimedia's Rio PMP300 MP3player - Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc Emedia Professional - Find Articles
		Downloading up to 37 minutes of MP3s from your PC to the Rio's flash memory card is about as difficult as printing a Word document, given the excellent management software and easy plug-and-play parallel port connection, and playback quality is as good as the MP3 source files allow.
		Given the RIAA's current pending case against the Rio as a potential copyright cheat [trial date: early 2000), here's hoping Diamond Multimedia is allotted the space to continue to innovate and improve, as they've so spectacularly done with their Rio.
		The Rio proper is so, so small, and neat, it hardly seems the sort of thing that should have an existence fraught with peril and damnation as it does, given the RIAA's steadfast opposition to the product as an enabling copyright cheat.

		Comprised of no moving parts and requiring only one AA sized battery to supply up to 10hrs of music, the Rio PMP300 is the first product of what is sure to be many based on the growing music compression format known as MP3.
		Housing 32MB of internal flash ram, the PMP300 can store up to four hours of MP3 audio content depending upon the level of quality the MP3 song was originally encoded at.
		The Rio can hold approximately an hour's worth of MP3 encoded songs when set to the 64kpbs level and roughly 30 minutes when set to maximum of 128kbps.

	PC Pro: Product Reviews: Diamond Rio PMP300
		The reason behind the furore is the fact that the Rio plays MP3, a music compression format that over the past few years has taken the Internet by storm.
		The Rio is both lighter and smaller than most MD players, however, and has the additional advantage of containing no moving parts.
		Even after changing over to a better pair, the MP3 files stored on the Rio sounded merely average when compared to CD or MD. It was several years before audiophiles warmed to the ATRAC encoding of MD, so MP3 is unlikely to gain acceptance quickly.

	Salon 21st \| Is Rio grand? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Rio is certainly cool -- every geek I showed mine to gushed at the prospect of fooling around with it -- but it's going to need a lot of enhancements before it becomes truly practical.
		The $200 Rio is a snazzy-looking little portable music player, less than half the size of a Walkman, that stores and plays songs in the MP3 format -- a compression standard favored on the Net for storing and sharing sound files.
		The Rio plays only MP3, which means you have to obtain music in that format, either by downloading MP3 tracks off the Web or "ripping" your own CDs (taking tracks from your music CD collection and encoding them in MP3 format).

		And since the Rio is a chip-based device, the music starts in less than a second once you hit the "play" button.
		While the Rio's memory isn't affected by sudden loss of power, it is annoying to have the music stop playing because your battery just fell onto the floor of a subway car.
		The Rio has a slot that will accept forthcoming memory cards that are about the size of a matchbook cover and that should help extend the play time.

		For the true MP3 fanatic, Diamond is proud to offer the Rio PMP300, the player that puts the Internet music into the palm of your hand.
		Anyway, do not let this put you off, as the PMP300 is one of the best value for money MP3 players there are, and one of the most worthy purchases out there.
		Admittedly, the player itself is not feature-rich like its big brother the PMP500, having only the most basic functions available (detailed in the next paragraph), however, it is far cheaper, has been around longer, and is the same size, plus is easier to manipulate.

		The dimensions were actually not bad, fairly pocketable; the PMP300 is the same height as my m:robe, though slightly wider and thicker.
		A glance at the Rio PMP300 page at Amazon.com shows this was a common issue, probably on most PMP's given enough use.

	Rio Audio, RIP: 1998 - 2005 - Engadget
		It was a good seven years, but under the constant pressures of this mortal coil, our good friend Rio today succumbed to moving on from this temporal plane.
		Yeah Rio was a great company in terms of putting stuff out there, but they lacked so much in user interface and form factor development.
		Rio got screwed because their products weren't very good, they couldn't market them well and their designs weren't very good.
