rio carbon 5gb?

looking at a rio carbon 5gb, as they can be got for about £80 or less these days.

anybody had one?

i've not had an mp3 player before so i have a few questions, well, one really. the reviews say that you can't browse and play folders, but it will play them based on the mp3tag - i've been ripping my cd's using media player so it names all the tracks correctly - does this mean they have been tagged and that if i simply move the mp3 folders to the rio it will recognise and play, and i will be able to browse the tracks/albums (as thats what i would want to do)?

thanks a lot

cheers - i've ordered it and tagged the mp's i've ripped - now begins the arduous task of ripping all my other hundreds of cd's ;(

just got mine today and i like it - nice and easy to setup and get music on there.

the headphones are pretty crap, and i tested my sennheiserHD600's on it and it sounds pretty good, so its certainly capable of sounding good - i'll probably get some of those new cx300's people are talking about.

yeah, i'm wondering if its worth 10 quid for a silicone case at the moment.....
