About a 10 days ago, I picked up a Rio 900 MP3 player from BestBuy (brand new) to gift to a cousin. Now he lives in India so I had immediately gift wrapped it and send it through a friend who was to leave for India the following day. Now, when he finally got it, opened it and turned it on, that was the end of it. He said he saw some strange text on it or something and then it never turned on again. Yeah, he was using a converter and it was on proper voltage. I looked at some reviews of this player on CNET and Amazon and found out that this was pretty common. Now he is stuck with the damn thing, half a world apart. Don't know when he'll be able to send it back to the US so I could get it replaced or hopefully, a refund. So to everyone out there.... DO NOT buy a Rio product for Christmas.

Yash!
