RCA RD2840 40GB MP3 Player

Strengths: lots of memory

Weaknesses: dead battery, No support from RCA

Summary: I bought this item on 10/5/03 from Circuit City.com for $299, and it died on 1/12/04. I can't get a refund from Circuit City because it's past the 30 days, and RCA has said they don't have any more. The customer support from RCA is apalling, how can a huge company like RCA not have any more units to replace. They don't even offer to repair....Buyer Beware!

Strengths: Lots of storage, Preety Fast, Different category breakdowns.

Weaknesses: Software set up is not that easy to use when loading and breaking down music.

Summary: For an old timer like me who at 32 has thousands of CD's and doesn't listen to them as much anymore, this is fantastic. A ton of storage and ultra convenient for travel and use by car or plane. Not in love with the display screen but it has a great category breakdown but is a pain to setup and it isn't easy to search since you really have only 1 button to use for your searches.

Strengths: Large storage space, holds all my mp3s, fast USB 2.0 transfer, great sound, good price.

Weaknesses: Not crazy about the controls, it could be simpler. It's kind of big and bulky.

Summary: I'm pretty happy with my purchase. It was a great price, holds a lot of songs, sounds great, quickly transfer your files to it. I don't like the controls, you can't easily navigate between songs, it could be simpler. Overall I like it.

Strengths: This product comes with everything that is needed. There is no need to buy any accessories.

Weaknesses: Claims that it will play WMA's, but it will lock up when you try. Stick to only mp3s.

Summary: I have never owned any other mp3 player before & was a little concerned with everything that one would have to buy on top of paying an arm & a leg for quality player. Although I ran across this one by accident, & was a little concerned because RCA does not have a name for making mp3 players. Put your worries aside, This product is as good as it seems, just stay away from the WMA's.

Strengths: large hd, car kit, the fact you can use it as a external hd

Weaknesses: to few to mention,none that make me want to get rid of it

Summary: This is my second HD mp3 player and my fifth overall. To start out I like the fact that it comes with a car kit. I also like the rca brand; I have several cd players and a DVD player from this brand. I like that it plays mp3 PRO and that it comes with a 40 gig HD twice the size of my old one (a Rio riot) over all I like it and would recommend it
