The Bottom Line	Rio's Forge Sport makes a terrific and stylish workout companion.	Rio once again delivers one of the spiffier sports-style MP3 players.	The Carbon largely lives up to the hype. This mini hard drive player has a great design, an excellent interface, and Energizer-like battery life.	The SanDisk Sansa Clip+ is an excellent successor to the line, offering a fitness-friendly design with a built-in belt-clip, a simple interface, solid sound quality, and plenty of handy features--all for an ultralow price. It's an unbeatable value.	What it lacks in grace the M25 makes up for in performance.
