Question
Why will my Rio Karma
not power on?
What type of files can I
play with the Rio Karma?
Can I add FLAC, MP3, Ogg
Vorbis, and WMA files to
the player at the same
time?
What are the differences
between FLAC, MP3, Ogg

Answer
• Confirm the LOCK/UNLOCK switch on the player is set to UNLOCK. The player
will not power on if LOCK/UNLOCK is in the LOCK position. Switch LOCK/
UNLOCK to the UNLOCK position and press POWER to turn the Rio Karma on. If
the Karma still does not power on, the battery may be completely dead.
• You can play FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and WMA audio files on the Rio Karma.
• Yes. You can play FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and WMA audio content. They can be
mixed together.
• Ogg Vorbis and WMA files are generally half as large as comparable sounding MP3
files. Because Ogg Vorbis and WMA uses smaller file sizes, you can store more
sound in less space on CDs or hard drives. The WMA format is exclusive to
Windows-based computers. Unlike MP3, OGG, and WMA formats, the FLAC
format is lossless and creates perfect duplicates when ripping and encoding CD
audio. Perfect sound requires a great deal of space and FLAC files are typically
four to eight times larger than 128kbps MP3, OGG, or WMA files.
Rio Music manager can encode audio tracks in FLAC, OGG and WMA formats by
default and MP3 with an upgrade.
