Rio Car MP3 Player

Moving forward on its plan to design digital audio devices for every place that people listen to music, Rio Car is an in-dash digital audio player that allows consumers to take their entire music collection in one portable, easy-to-use device.

Rio Car holds so much music, one could drive roundtrip from Los Angeles to New York City twice without listening to the same song. With Rio Car, all of your music can be taken in your car, to your office, in your home, or anywhere you want to listen to your favorite tunes. Rio Car eliminates the clutter of CD and cassette jewel cases, freeing you to enjoy your music instead of searching for it.

In addition to fitting into a standard car stereo slot, Rio Car is extremely intuitive.

Rio Car features a large, clear, fluorescent display for viewing while on the road.
Filling Rio Car with music is a breeze with a USB or Ethernet connection.
Rio Car's software features drag and drop simplicity, making it easy to create, add to and delete from playlists on your PC.
With the wireless remote, locating and playing tracks is simple.
Find your favorite song in an instant by simply punching in the PIN (personal identification number) that you've chosen for that track, Rio Car will automatically begin playing it.

In addition to listening while on the road, the versatile Rio Car can be used in other locations.

Rio Car works with nearly any standard CD player, AM/FM radio, cassette deck or home stereo system using standard RCA connectors.
The retracting carrying handle makes it easy to slide the player out of the car stereo slot in the car's dash.
An AC adapter is included for listening to the player in settings other than the car.
Rio Car is upgradeable, via online downloads, to support new and emerging technologies and music formats.

With Rio Car you have your choice of display options.

Rio Car displays the artist name, song name and album title and not just the track number as with traditional CD players.
As you are driving, one glance at the display shows you the next three songs in the play line-up, before they begin.

With the unit having a massive 10GB of memory, you don't have to sacrifice fidelity when encoding music. Without the memory constraints of a handheld player, feel free to encode your music at a higher bit rate, such as 192 kbps, and enjoy CD-quality audio all of the time.
Rio Car's premium audio components, such as the advanced parametric graphic equalizer, ensure a high fidelity digital audio experience.
Rio Car, with a 20 band adjustable equalizer and 16 customizable presets, gives unprecedented control over how your music sounds.
