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.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options are included below.

       -d     Display Directory

       -z     specify file to delete

       -za    delete all files

       -o     specify new playlist order in quotes

       -p     specify parallel port base IO address, default=0x378

       -v     enable verbose mode

       -di    specify initialization delay

       -dt    specify tx delay

       -dr    specify rx delay
