Query: not worth it

The rio forge has some nice features like the FM tuner and SD card reader, but it has serious reliablity issues, especially with buttons that stop working. I got this unit for ~$35 refurbished last year, so it was a pretty good deal at the time, especially with an added SD card. The buttons on my player eventually stopped working after half a year, but I was lucky and as able to resolder them without any problems.The battery life also sucks (a dozen hours or so)Anyway, by now your better off getting a refurb 2nd gen 1GB shuffle for $50, or a tiny 4g player for a little more than $100.
