Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of RCA Lyra RD2317FM 1 GB Digital Audio Player with FM Transmitter
Customer Review: THRU-HIKERS!!! You need this MP3 player
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for the trail. It was nearly impossible to find an MP3 player that runs on batteries, is water-resistant, durable, uses cards and has FM radio! This one is all of those things.
I won't disagree that it takes a hot second to figure out, but heck, what else are you going to do on the trail?
This is really a nifty little thing to have. Another thru-hiker owned one and recommended it to me...and I'm getting one for my hiking husband! They are great!
