Ren (Killshot) Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Rio Riot comes with a 20 GB drive and includes such features as an FM tuner with presets, an extra large LCD screen, and lithium batteries. The latter offers about 10 hours of charge, a distinct improvement over both the Archos and Nomad Jukebox's whose NiMH batteries can only muster a four hour life before recharging is needed. The Riot comes with a 16MB memory buffer offering up to 12 minutes of electronic skip protection. This is double that of the Nomad Jukebox's 8MB and eight times more than the Archos Jukebox's 2MB buffer. The Apple iPod offers 32MB of skip protection, the most in this class. The Rio Riot plays both MP3 and WMA files and, like most Rio products, works on both PC and Mac. The latter is interesting considering the success Apple has had in the Mac market. The iPod is really the player to beat in the Mac market, with its tightened dimensions, diminished weight and speedy FireWire connection that can load song files 45 times faster than the USB connection used by the Riot.
