Since I now have an Audible Otis for audio ebooks and an Archos Jukebox for music (and lots of it!), I'm giving my Rio 500 to Kailee. Actually, I'm going to give her my original Rio 300 if I can find it and give Sheree the 500 but either way, Kailee is getting a portable MP3 player.

I wanted to load up the 500 with music so she could listen to it during Brent's soccer practice yesterday, but I couldn't find the original software disk for it. So I went to the SonicBlue site since they own the Rio line now, but their Rio products page doesn't include information about the 500. Rather than believe I was SOL, I figured somebody somewhere on the net would have made the driver for the 500 available, and I was right.

So Kailee and I thank RioWorld for their archive of Rio 500 drivers and software, as well as the pointers to third-party software for interacting with the 500 because the software that came with it never worked all that well anyway. I've even downloaded software for the Rio 300, assuming I can find it....
