Looking for a portable MP3/CD player, how is the Riovolt SP250?

Does anyone have the Riovolt SP250? It looks like a nice player. I was looking at the iRiver Slim-x, but I can't find the damn thing in stores around here, and I really need the CD player for this weekend. I have found the Riovolt at like 4 different places around here, so I am tempted to pick it up. Any opinions?

I have a SP250. It works great. My only complaints would be
1.) The included headphones are not good. Invest in better ones
2.) The included rechargable batteries are kinda bleh. They advertise like 8 hours or something, and I only get half that. I called up to complain about it, and they sent out a package. Thing was, they only gave me ONE battery! The one they shipped me was about 3x heavier than the included ones, so I assume its much better. Too bad i can't use it.

Other than that its a great player. works well with CDR's and CDRW's alike. PM me with any specific questions you might have.

Rio Volts are awesome little players...I have an SP100, and have considered getting an SP250 just for the few extra things it has. I'd highly recommend it.

Well I just bought one. I had to argue with myself in the store for like a half hour before I finally bought it. You know the old one side of your brain going"you don't really need this" and the other side is saying "yea, but it's so cool." Well the "it's so cool" side won.
