RCA Lyra RD1080 128 MB MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having had this mp3 player for a week now, I can honestly say that I am quite impressed.This unit is lightweight, very simple to use, and I didn't find the buttons awkward to mess with as I did the other mp3 players that I have tried.The RCA Lyra RD1080 also boasts an FM tuner -a feature that seems to be lacking on other mp3 players out there on the market.And the audio from this bad boy?Well, The sound from this little toy is simply awesome!
I wasn't able to find any specific instructions (could be I didn't look hard enough) on how to download my mp3's to this device, but after loading the software, I was able to play with the software and download into this mp3 player within 15 minutes.
This player comes with Musicmatch software where all of your files are managed.Keep in mind that you cannot download raw mp3's into this unit, as the Musicmatch software converts your mp3 files into mpy files.Therefore you wouldn't be able to just go to your friends house and download mp3's off his/her PC without the Musicmatch software.
To download into this mp3 player, I simply hooked it up to the provided USB cable, opened up the Musicmatch software, went to "file", then "send to device", and then I simply clicked and dragged my mp3 files from a folder on my hard drive to the Musicmatch software then hit the download button.It took about 6 seconds to convert one mp3 file to an mpy file and download into the player.It's that simple...
All in all, I am very happy with this mp3 player and would gladly recommend it to those looking for a combination mp3 player and FM tuner for a reasonable price!
