So, What Does it Do? 1 Getting Started

WELL, FIRST OF ALL try to imagine what you could do with 20GB of storage space...

That’s right, 20

400 albums.*

5,000 songs.*

All in the palm of your hand.

Just connect the Rio to your computer’s USB port, download your music to the player and you’re on your way.

The Rio features a large, backlit graphic LCD display so you can easily navigate your way through your massive song list by artist, album or song title.

You can even use the built in Rio DJ to hear a 60-minute sampling of your favorite songs, a playlist of just the newest songs on the player, the most/least played songs, only songs from your favorite decade, and much more.

Rather listen to the radio? No problem. An FM tuner is built in, with up to eight presets.

Need long battery life? Again, not to worry. The lithiumion rechargeable battery lasts at least 10 hours per charge at 50% volume.

gigabytes

of your favorite music.

The Rio supports popular audio formats, including WMA (up to 192 kbps) and MP3 (up to 320 kbps). Plus you can view and sort your music using ID3 and WMA tags.

The CD-ROM includes USB drivers for Windows (98, ME, 2000 or XP) and Mac OS (9.0.4 or higher), along with RealJukebox and iTunes to help you manage your music.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started...

Encoding (“Ripping”) Your CDs

Encoding a CD with RealJukebox

1 Insert an audio CD in your PC’s CD-ROM drive.

• If Auto-Record is enabled (under “Tools > Preferences > General”), you will see a dialog box asking if you wish to record the CD. If you select “Yes,” the RealJukebox software will automatically begin encoding each song on the CD.

• If Auto-Record is not enabled, continue with step 2.

2 In a few moments, the CD automatically opens in Real-

Jukebox showing the names of each track on the disc.

3 Click the check box next to each track you wish to encode,

or click “Check All” to encode the entire disc.

4Press the red “Record” button to start encoding.

• Songs will automatically play while they are encoding.

Encoding a CD with iTunes

1 Insert an audio CD in your Mac’s CD-ROM drive. 2 In a few moments, the CD automatically opens in iTunes

showing the names of each track.

3 Select the check box next to each track you wish to

encode (by default, all tracks are checked).

4 Click the “Import” button at the top left of the iTunes

window. The checked tracks will be converted to MP3 format.

Mega Storage

The Rio Riot can hold over 150 complete albums at the highest possible sample rate!

Setting the Sample Rate

The default sample rate for RealJukebox is 128 kbps, which is the minimum file size for “Near CD” quality, but you can change it based on the size of your music collection and desired sound quality. For example...

• If you have 300 or more CDs to rip, make sure you sample at 160 kbps or lower to allow room on the player and still retain “Near CD” quality.

• If you have 150 or fewer CDs, go ahead and encode at a higher sample rate (256-320 kbps)—you’ve got the space, you might as well use it!

• For WMA fans, you can get nearly twice the compression for each sample rate at virtually the same sound quality.

7 Getting HelpFAQs

How do you load music to the Rio?

• The Rio interfaces with your computer through the USB port. You can get digital audio from numerous Internet sites or encode your own digital audio tracks from your audio CDs using the CD-ROM drive on your computer. Use the software included with the Rio to get audio from the Internet, encode tracks from your audio CDs, or download tracks to your Rio.

Can I use the Rio with Windows 95? I have the USB supplement pack.

• No. The Rio USB devices can only be used with Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating systems, or Mac OS 9.0.4 or later. The Rio requires a newer standard of USB that is not available in Windows 95, even with the USB supplement pack.

Where is the serial number located on the Rio?

• The serial number is on the back of the Rio.

The Rio is connected to the USB, why doesn’t the computer recognize it?

• First, make sure the Rio RealJukebox software is running and check to make sure the USB cable is fully connected to both the Rio and to the computer. Then, turn the Rio off and back on.

Is the Random menu function truly random?

• No. The Random function uses an algorithm called pseudo-random which is common to all computers. The

Rio selects a seed number and then enters a list of predetermined random numbers to play music in a seemingly random order. If the same seed is picked, the Rio may play songs in the same order.

What does the Rio Hold feature do?

• The Hold feature on the Rio locks all buttons and controls except the Power switch. This is useful at times when the Rio may be bumped or jostled. For example, when exercising.

What are the differences between MP3 and WMA?

• If you use the WMA format instead of the MP3 format, you can have comparable quality at about one half the size. Since WMA offers “CD quality” at a smaller file size than MP3, it enables you to store more music on your PC or on your portable player. WMA files are exclusive to the PC.

How can I get the best sound quality when encoding from a CD?

• If you use a significant amount of your computer system’s resources with other applications, encoding songs from a CD may result in poor quality recordings. If the song(s) you encode contain abnormalities, such as pops or skips, close down other applications which are running and encode those songs again. The condition of the audio CD—scratches and so on—may effect the quality of the recording as well.
