Love my Rio Forge 512

I love my Rio Forge 512 so much that I've purchased two more to replace the one I damaged (my own fault). I have been using a 4GB SD card in mine, for a total of 4.5GB. It's easy to use, sounds great, and is far cheaper that the comparable iPod Nano (even with the cost of the 4GB SD card). I use rechargeable alkaline batteries in mine, which work great for me. Compared to the other flash-memory MP3 players I have owned (Philips Rush, RCA Lyra, Apple iPod Shuffle, and SanDisk), this one is the champ.
For the guy complaining about how NiMH batteries start out at 3/4 of the battery meter, go into the settings menu and change the battery type setting from alkaline to NiMH; it might help out with your other power issues. Also, I highly recommend the latest firmware update (v3.04, the Developer's Cut) which is available for download around the internet.
