    Although it's packed with useful, fitness-oriented features, the RCA Lyra RD2212 is disappointing overall, thanks to a flawed design. Read more

The RCA Lyra RD2217 is the latest of its kind, which makes it unique as it offers you the option of playing both MP3 and WMA files. It has a flash memory of 1 GB, which gives you the ability to store almost 32 hours of WMA music encoded at 64 Kbps and it can also act as a data storage device. This product is great to carry around as it is splash proof and can be used even during heavy workouts. If you are a sports person then this unit will suit you perfectly. It has a stopwatch, pulse rate monitor and even a calorie counter. While playing music, it displays basic information such as the name of the song, artist, elapsed time, volume level and it even has a battery level indicator. All these work well in a playback mode.

It has a good back up for listening to audio books, audio magazines, radio programs or even newspapers for long hours. A unique feature that makes it distinct from others is the ability to record while listening to FM, which is in MP3 format. Later this can be easily transferred to a PC for later use. It has a remarkable battery life, which will last you almost 50 long hours. The RCA Lyra RD 2217 1 GB Sports Digital audio player with FM tuner has very limited drawbacks. The buttons are a little clumped together which makes operating a little difficult. Skipping songs also takes time as sometimes it refuses to respond. However the RCA Lyra RD 2217 1 GB Sports Digital audio player with FM tuner is an all rounder which is very affordably priced. Thus you don’t have to dry your pockets to buy this unit. Its outstanding features will definitely be a pleasure to discover.
