RCA Lyra RD2215 512MB MP3 Player

Not Bad Not Great But it is unique and fits exercising needs

Strengths: Belt Clip! Fast transfer. Rubber grip. FM.

Weaknesses: No voice record. Even volume level 1 is too loud. Screen is boring.

Summary: I bought this because of the belt clip mainly, which is great for working out. I like the AA battery with long playback from. Nice no slip rubber feel to the MP3 player. FM is better than my iAudio G3 but not as good as the kitchen Tivoli radio. Volume level 1 is too loud when I use it with my Shure earphones. Navigation isn't that great. The joystick easily clicks in when you are just trying to move it left or right. The iAudio's joystick is much more precise. I'd rather have voice record then the timer and heart rate thing. But oh yeah, my 224kbs MP3s sound excellent I must say. If I could I'd give it 3 1/2 stars.

LYRA RD2215 512MB MP3 Player

Strengths: Overall design and features, arm band portability

Weaknesses: Ease of use, control buttons don't operate smoothly

Summary: The ease of use of this mp3 player is the worst I've seen. After a couple of hours trying to operate its features I was ready to give it up. Loading tracks into player was the easy part, turning the volume up/down, programming radio stations and navigating around the different features was very frustrating. Despite bigger size than the average mp3 player, the control buttons do not respond to a simple touch, it took hard pressing in different directions to get minimal results. If you're an outdoor person taking your music along, you need a device that responds to simple touches, this is not it.

Sound quality was fair but not great.
