April, I can't respond privately 'cause I still can
get on e-mail with ridecamp.
Anyway, The Rio is an excellent MP3 player and does
come with an FM tuner. I have one of the first ones out and can only store about
15 songs. My daughter has a later model and can store about 25 songs. The newer
ones have major memory and can store lots more for about $150-250, depending on
the model. I also have a Sony MP3 with little disks. I like it better because I
can take 4 or 5 disks with me and have music all day. Also the Rio goes through
some batteries but the Sony gets good battery mileage. I still use my
good 'ole cassette player and tapes but cassette players are getting harder to
come by!
The Muther of Music is the iPod. I bought one for
my daughter and it is awesome. It will hold about 5,000 songs! She has about 300
on there now. Very durable, no skipping, (none on the Rio or Sony either and I
run with both) beautiful sound. We found that on the internet and got a pretty
good price.
We also have found Napster cards at Best Buy for
$15 which gives you 15 songs to download. It's a good deal and very easy to use.
I don't like give out info on the internet and all you have to have for the
Napster card is a user ID and password.
