[vorbis] Rio Karma? Has anyone heard about this?

[Paul E]

I have a Rio One and have been very, make that extremely disappointed 
with their products and support.  They would make me wait on the line 
for an hour, only to speak with someone that doesn't speak English well 
(out sourced to India) and have them tell me someone in level 2 tech 
support will call me in the next couple of days.  They said that a few 
times and I never got one call, and I have Caller ID and an answering 
machine, I know they didn't call.  I guess my bottom line is, even if it 
does support Vorbis which is awesome, I would never buy a Rio product 
again.  I also have a friend who ended up buying a different player 
(even though he couldn't return his Rio player) because the Rio just 
wouldn't work.
