RCA Lyra RD2010 - Digital player / radio - flash 128 MB - WMA, MP3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I managed to get this player when it was in the low $50's which makes it an even better deal as it looks like it is sold for over $100 some places.

This is my first MP3 player and so far I have had no problems with it.

One reason I choose this over the other RCA Lyra's was the battery life compared to the RD1090. The 2010 is 50 hours with one AA and the 1090 is 15 hours with two AA's

The 2010 also has the backlit screen where the two lower modle Lyra's do not.

The earphones clip over your ear and I have been skateing a mini-ramp while using the Lyra and the earphones have not budged.

Another reason I picked this brand as with the RIO Forges you can expand the memory. It sounds like you can use 1gb cards but I have not gotten one to try it with.I did get a good deal on a 256mb card and have used that now with no problem.

The FM tuner works fine for me I can get the major stations in the Philly area and I don't know why I would want to record something from FM but it's there if I want it.

Make sure if you buy this that you get the latest firmware. Right now it is 1.51.

The only reason not to give it 5 starts is the lack of a clock/alarm and they have not gotten the auto resume working yet. oh, also why do none of these things get in AM stations.
