Rbreb13 Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Date: Friday, July 18, 2003 Author: Bruceleeon Provided By: None Page: 1 of 1 I have been searching high and low for a cheap portable MP3 solution. I have tried everything from MiniDisc recorders to MP3 compatible portable CD players. When I think I finally find something, I realize that it doesn't do what I had hoped for, or the software was very confusing and/or limited. I have spent countless days and way too much money on gas traveling from store to store to return products that don't do what I want.

Bruceleeon Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 This thing is fun... it fits in my pocket.. even the 5th pocket "overlooked for centuries" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TMX]PegesusMaxx Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 For my money it was the Sonic Blue Rio S30s. It is a bit larger but it does have a backlight display and has 64mb internal with SD or MMC for external memory. With a free firmware updrade, my 256mb SD card along with the internal 64mb keeps me jamming for a LONG time. It runs off of 1 AAA battery for about 8-10 hours. The best part about this deal is I have some "friends" at Circuit City that honor web page price matching - a little web page editing and a color print out costed me about 10 minutes at home and I bought this unit for $69.99 when it was being sold by Circuit City for $150. They didn't care much because the new model was out and they were expecting the price drop anyway .... lol.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TMX]PegesusMaxx Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Did I mention that it has a built-in FM tuner, stopwatch, belt clip and arm band?

Bruceleeon Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I was considering a rio.. but it was much too large for what i wanted.. plus the Lyra has absolutely NO moving parts... it also passed the 15 foot drop test with flying colors...

dohastne Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 I am using my brother's RCA lyra and for the most part it is really easy to use on XP. For some reason I seem to have problems getting the songs that I have dragged into the external memory to show up when I turn on my lyra. I've saved some tracks onto the internal memory and some to the external by dragging them into the respective locations on XP but as ive said before, when the mp3 player is turned on...it doesnt seem to read the ones on the card. what do i do?

richmen Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I tried upgrading the driver using the suggested firmware. However, all it did was cause my computer to crash and the Lyra would not turn on. Evrytime I tried to connect the USB, all it would flash "USB Transfer...." The firmware software is unable to locate the device. Is there a way to reset the internal memory of the Lyra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmen Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) In addition to my last post, since attempting to upgrade the firmware, everytime I connect the Lyra to my computer, I am unable to open My Computer or any other folder. I run Windows XP. I tried sending a message to RCA but no response. Edited January 16, 2005 by richmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 For those whose drivers are missing... try this: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I want to thank whoever I am replying to. My lyra was not doing anything but flashing every 3 seconds or so. I had no idea what to do and then logged on to y'all. I downloaded the firmware and now everything is fine. Thanks.
