must get remote....

You could do something like creative did and add an AM/FM tuner. Would it be possible to add recording with the remote?

I think the Rio engineers should stop listening to the statistic and marketing fools who think people don't want a remote. I would be willing to pay maybe like $100 or so if it had an lcd screen with good functionality, am/fm radio and possibly recording. Throw in the option of Infrared and I would pay almost anything for it!!!
