RCA Lyra 1072 MP3 Player

 

There are so many MP3 Players out on the market, who can really keep count? There are some that do everything, and then some that do nothing but play MP3's. What if you are looking for an MP3 Player that's compact, and comes in at a great price? Find...

When I first looked at the earphones that came with the player, I definitely had my doubts. I knew I would be grabbing my regular headphones rather quickly, because I couldn't see these having decent sound. On top of that, they didn't look like they...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Overpriced

 

Pain in the neck when it comes to browsing files with the > and < buttons. Otherwise, it's a great little mp3 player for those who don't want a brick in their pockets and can't afford a brand new iPod.

Plays crystal clear, both MP3s and WMA ; Easy to drap-and-drop files via Explorer and WMP ; SD slot for expansion ; USB 2.0 for good transfer rates ; Windows DRM capable ; Decent Battery life

Advertised as 256MB but registers as 243MB, this is simply because manufacturers measure differently, or course ; No directory browser

Totally Jammin'!!!!

 

The RCA Lyra is a great mp3 player that you can jam out to all of your favorite tunes without having to burn a hole into your budget. Nw you won't be able to watch videos or view photos with the Lyra, but those are only minor set backs. You can store...

Doesn't cost a high price, and is small enough to carry in your pocket

Needs a memory card to hold a large capacity of songs

This MP3 player is for the budget conscious MP3 novice who isn't really interested in function flexibility and unit durability. I bought this unit because it was cheap and expandable (SD card are getting so cheap now that you can make this a 2.25 GB ...

Basic MP3 Player, Basically

 

I was attracted to the item's apparent versatility --it has an SD card slot for supplementing the device's 256mb memory, although the SD card slot can only handle 512mb-sized cards at maximum-- and its decent price. I bought it for my wife for about ...

Good sound quality, additional SD card slot allows flexibility, capacity, etc

Controls not immediately intuitive. (accept that, or read directions, or get something with different controls/display.)
