NAME

       rio - program to control a Diamond RIO MP3 player

SYNOPSIS

       rio [options] files ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the rio command.  This manual page
       was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the  original
       program does not have a manual page.

       rio is a CLI controller for a Diamond Rio MP3 file player.

       The  default  ioport  is  0x378.   If  this  is not the ioport for your
       printer port, you will have to use the -p option.

INITIALIZATION

       Initialization should only be performed on new or corrupt  cards.   You
       can  initialize  with  bad block checking enabled (-iy) which will test
       all blocks on the  internal  or  external  flash  ram  (which  ever  is
       selected)  and  note  all  bad blocks. This process will take some time
       (upto 20 minutes on slow machines).  You can also initialize  with  bad
       block  checking  disabled  (-in)  which  is much quicker but all blocks
       (even bad blocks) will be used.

       If you want to delete all files on the device, the (-za) option  should
       be used instead of using the initialization options mentioned above.
