Amazon.com Product Description
The RipFlash TRIO combines three products in one ultrathin device that runs on a NiMH "gum stick" rechargeable battery (included). The TRIO is a full-featured MP3/WMA player and MP3 recorder, a digital voice recorder with onboard speaker and microphone, and an FM radio with direct-record capability. RipFlash Direct Encode lets you record from any audio source, without the need for a computer. And while a computer isn't required, you still get USB connectivity to a desktop PC for easy file transfers, and this connection conveniently charges the battery.
The TRIO is business card-size, very slim, and weighs about one ounce, making it one of the lightest MP3 players in the industry. It offers ID3 tag support and a backlit display. Its 128 MB storage holds 36 hours of voice-quality MP3 recording and four hours of near-CD-quality WMA data (two hours of near-CD-quality MP3 record time).
Quick voice messages are a snap using the recorder's internal microphone and VOR (voice-operated recording). A high-quality stereo microphone (not included) will suffice for recording anything from live music to training seminars. The recordings can be played back through the onboard internal speaker, through headphones, or through any home or car audio system using the appropriate cables. The package also contains a rechargeable/removable NiMH battery and rapid charger, earbud headphones, direct record cable (line-in), USB cable and charger adapter, external lapel microphone, telephone adapter, software CD-ROM, and user's manual.

I received the RipFlash Trio about 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it. There are many pros and a few cons, but overall, this is a great product.
Background: I bought this player specifically to take with me to the gym. I needed something that could last at least 3 hours and play about 20-30 songs. I also needed something that could just fit in my pocket, and able to take some abuse.
Pros: -Versatile: this player allows you to do anything you want. Record your voice (which I never really use), record from an external source, am/fm radio, and download from your computer. -Easy: this player is really simple. It took only a few minutes for me to get used to the menu set-up. -Options: this player allows you to change the eq, shuffle, hold, etc. -Design: the design is great. It is actually about the size of a credit card (as opposed to many descriptions of it being "business card sized"), and is light weight. It could easily fit into a shirt pocket or...Read more

POGO's TRIO Slim Series MP3 Player/Recorder is truly amazing... I got mine today and it hardly took me fifteen minutes to get it loaded with couple of mp3's. Its a 3-in-1. It has an FM tuner, MP3 player & Voice recording in MP3 format. It is soooo thin & small that u hardly feel that it is in the palm of your hand... weighing almost an ounce, its unbeleivably the lightest recorder/player in the market. The sound output quality is terrific and it has 5 pre-set sounds in its equalizer. The menu is neat & user-friendly except for a few glitches here and there... The firmware upgrade feature is very cool & I was able to load the latest firmware from their website very easily. Limitation is its memory. Its just 128MB, but it suits my needs. With USB 1.1 & their proprietary VR Manager software, upload/download of voice/mp3 files is very easy. Another key feature is their PC-free mp3 encoding. U just hook up your Tape/LP Player's Line-out to the Line-in &...Read more

The Ripflash Trio is everything promised - excellent. There was 1 problem, solved by the Pogo web site FAC Sheet. I had to discard the small UBS jumper supplied to get the Computer/ Ripflash link to work. I have been enthralled by it.
