the Rio 500:

I have it, but don’t have a cable to connect to the computer. I have no idea where to look for a cable for it. :\
From what I can tell, you’re basically SOL unless you can find one on eBay or offered for sale on one of the many Rio-oriented forums out there. They are apparently no longer available from the manufacturer. The fact is, you can probably find a new or slightly-used Rio 500 WITH a cable on eBay for less than the original retail price of the cable alone. 64 MB is a mere pittance as far as today’s MP3 players go.
Does it have a standard earphone jack? You should be able to get a cable at Radio Shack or similar stores that will go from the earphone jack to the line-in port on your sound card.
I think he means the USB cable, to upload songs into it.
