I have a compelling reason for there to be some way to upload mp3's from my Rio unit to my PC. Two days ago, I somehow got a virus which not only deleted, but corrupted all 1100 of my mp3's which I've spent 4 years collecting. I now have no music on my PC. On the plus side, I have all my music on my Rio Car player. However, because of Rio's fear of the RIAA I have no way to transfer the songs from the Rio player to my PC. This sucks, especially since I have my PC hooked up to my stereo system and prefer listing to mp3's with that setup when I'm at home, rather than hooking up the Rio and navigating with it's little bitty screen. Not that I don't like the Rio, but its screen and remote hardly compare to a computer moniter, keyboard, and mouse for file navigation.

Anyhow, I think you should be able to somehow upload mp3's from your Rio to your computer in case something happens to the mp3's and your PC, i.e. a virus, hard disk failure, and so on.
