Pros: nice imitation of iPod Cons: I bet you would find that it is a cheap imitation in 10 mn. Review: This is a great price for a 40GB hard drive however the interface is a cheap imitation of the iPod and is not easy to browse. The Drive is compatible with Mac OS 10.3 and USB 2. from Shopping.com Large capacity hard drive. Cons: Would be nice to have user replaceable batteries if mine ever die. Review: After a short while using my RD2840, with upgraded firmware, I was so pleased that I bought a second unit. Great experience for 2.5 years with music and hard drive function. from Shopping.com Pros: price, capacity Cons: battery completely fried Review: anyone needing a new battery needs to go to eurobatteries.com its the one for the ipod that is 3.7v 1600 mah .....they ship to america (around $30 U. S. total) trust me this battery will fit your lyra with a bit of snipping and ... from Shopping.com Pros: pretty color, after it dies - you still have a large hard drive Cons: Unreliable, slow, unresponsive buttons, powers off when power cord loses power, lame menus Review: Just like many others, my Lyra worked for about 6 months. Now it only starts up if it's warm outside or very lucky. from Shopping.com Pros: 40 gigs Cons: Dead Battery Review: Good luck to anyone who needs to replace the battery in this unit. There are no replacement batteries for this unit. from Shopping.com Need free firmware upgrade for buttons to work properly. The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a good MP3 player, don't look no further. The 40Gb of storage and the plug and play and windows explorer compatibility benefit is reason enough. Review: I didn't realize how good this player was when I first bought it. from Shopping.com Battery does not hold a charge anymore. I do not use this device often either. Battery costs $100 and that does not include shipping and handling from RCA Thompson. Do not buy this device if you want to enjoy long lasting music from Amazon.com I just purchased this product clearence at a local book/music store, actually the RD-2826 20 gb version identical to this one, and I must say I am impressed so far. 20 GB capacity is a decent capacity. from Amazon.com 1 day and already this! I have to go thru some warranty company which will take a long time I assume. RCA wants nothing to do with this. This sucks. from Amazon.com My Lyra Jukebox stopped working at 3 months, just after the warranty expired. There is NOTHING I can do about it and now I'm approximately $300 in the hole with no way to listen to my music, and I can't afford to lose that kind of money again. from Amazon.com
