Rio Karma 20G mp3 Player... troubles
    #5108960 - 12/26/05 09:01 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

Anyone have one of these? This is my story...

I got one last year for X-Mas from my siblings, god bless em.. It worked great for like a week.... Then as I got home and was loading some more music onto it, the darn thing crashed, hard.. Made a sound like a tick and just wouldn't start.. Well it would open up to the Rio startup thing but not get past that, then restart, with that hard clicking sound.. Super slacked on sending it back and it sat on the shelf for awhile.. by the time I got to sending it back, the warranty they got was up, and we sent it anyway.. they sent it back..

Well they have a firmware upgrade, I had tried it right after it broke the first time with no luck, I figured I would try it again, maybe they updated in the past 6 months.. This was sometime in the summer, I read on their site that if you loaded the firmware three times, sometimes it worked.. well I tried it and voila! working mp3 player again! It crashed on me a few more times after that, and I had to reformat it and reload the firmware on it, again around 2-3times each.. I finally got it loaded over 10gig, it always seemed to crash around that size, and I was nearing the limit just a few days ago.. Uploaded a few more dead shows onto it and was renaming them and well... it crashed again :frown: nearly full, I am quite dissapointed.

Has anyone got one of these? Have you figured out a way to fix it without having to delete all the music on it? Such a PITA! I don't recommend them to anyone.. I really like it, when it works.. The interface, the buttons, everything about it is really nice.. I actually enjoy it a lot more then the ipod's I have played with, but the instability is such a huge factor, I really cant recommend it.

Maybe they have gotten better...
