 Rio One

The Rio One appears at first glance to be a Rio 300, same case, same styling, under the hood things are very much different: a USB port and WMA playback. Available with either 32MB or 64MB internal memory, expansion is by Smart Media cards offering an addition 128MB of storage.

The Rio One is the first and only Rio to appear as a drive in explorer (without the need for programs), an idea that was not carried forward into the newer line of products.

Audio format wise the Rio One supports mp3,  Windows Media Audio (wma).
 

 USB Drivers

Usage:  Unpack zip file, switch on Rio One and connect to PC, when Windows detects and asks for drivers, point to the unzipped files.
