NO RESUME!!!
| The title says it all. If you bought this player for listening to audiobooks, which is what I did, you'll be extremely disappointed that you'll have to fast forward through the book every time you start it up since there is no resume feature. Considering audiobooks are anywhere from 3 to 8 hours long in most cases, or at least the pieces you get from audible are, it's totally inconvenient to start playing from the beginning each time you turn it on. Get used to the fast forward button and remembering exactly what time you were at because you're going to be doing a lot of it. Lame. |

I agree with all of the others - Plus the Belt Clip Sucks! (and the Customer Service!!!)
Just like most of the other reviewers I have not been happy with my Lyra. Every other complaint you see listed applies to my experience as well, but here is my biggest complaint. The belt clip sucks!! After using the thing for lest then a month the flimsy plastic belt clip just fell apart. I spent hours (literaly) tying to reach someone at RCA to help me. After way to many calls I finally reached someone at the Customer Satisfaction office (or something to that effect) who appoligized profusely for my frustrating experinece and promised to do everthing humanly possible to solve my problem. After I explained the problem, she quickly told me I was out of luck, they do not make any replacements for that part. So much for jumping throught hoops! So now this $130 "sports" MP3 player is useless during sports because of a badly designed 3 cent peice of plastic ... and don't get me started on the arm band!

Decent but...
Okay, I got this little gadget as a valentine's present. Everything was allright at first, but, as I quickly found out it ONLY plays MP3 or WMA files...that means all Itunes files need to be converted before you can load 'em. Plus, "around 100 songs" really means 60. The first few seconds I had it, I broke the nail that keeps the battery in place (no super human here, it said turn with penny, I did and it broke), but since the belt clip locks over it, it wasn't really a problem...until you wanted to change the battery. or reset the dang thing when the screen froze..which it did frequently. the belt clip is next to impossible to take off once it's on. The free headphones are VERY painful to my ears, so I'd suggest some replacements (unless you dig that kind). Oh, and it doesn't stay on the arm band when jogging if you do anything faster than a brisk walk. at least not for me. anyways, it's more expensive than a shuffle these days, I only got it because no other model had this many features with a display screen for so low a price...but..
