This review of the Rio Karma sounds pretty favorable. I\’m looking for something to replace my iPod. The battery died after only a year, so on a full charge I can only play about 8 songs before I get a low battery warning. I\’ve already ordered a replacement battery, but it\’s $59. Hopefully the battery lasts longer than a year this time. Plus, it looks like Apple isn\’t interested in supporting the older iPods anymore. So now I\’m looking at the Rio Karma, the iRiver iHP-120 and SlimX 550, and the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra.
