Creative Rhomba 256MB MP3 player $89 (with FM radio)

[metalmania]

Shipping is $4.95.

I noticed that last week the price was around $150 anywhere. This is really a nice mp3 player. I have one bought from musicman64 on FS, so I know this thing rocks.

Good deal

 

[sheltem]

not bad, it looks nice and compact too

 

[huesmann]

Nice.

 

[Snowlock]

it doesn't look to be expandable, at least doesn't say so anywhere on the specs... is that true?

Here's my suggestion for anyone out there listening...

The Creative Rhoomba.

The robotic vacuum/mp3 player.

Plays music while it vacuums for you.

Just throwing my idea out there.

This one is a flash-based mp3 player, not expandable. But it's small, ppl who like big capacity should go to ipod or Zen. For gym ppl, this thing is nice.

Dang, this sounded like the type of player i've been looking for too. Anyone else have any experience with this player?

You can believe reviews, or not. Based on my experience, Creative mp3 players are really good, much better than the players made in Taiwan. I used to have a Nomad IIc, and I sold it after one year. It's still working now for a member here. Rhomba 256MB is the second one I have, so far so good. It has very thing I need, has nothing I don't need. 🙂

metal, its not that I don't believe you, just a little worried about the construction of the player. The reviews with firmware issues are mostly likely that guys problem, but the several reviews about the player breaking is scary. There are some more reviews on amazon.

I know.🙂 I saw the Amazon reviews before I bought it. There was a guy posted both on Amazon and Eopinions. I didn't compare the rest. Fragile maybe, I think that's a luck ting. I also have a 128MB mp3 player from Korea (OEM in Taiwan), the building quality is worse than the Rhoma, but it's still going good after one year. It doesn't mean the Rhomba should last longer, but I think it's like buying a hard disk, you really don't know when it will die. Just my 2 cents.
