It’s a good thing for RCA they came along in the gramophone era, because if they were just starting out today, their logo would be a dog listening to an MP3 player, which lacks something in the iconic charisma department. Not that the RCA Lyra RD2826 20GB MP3 Player doesn’t have its charms – just that it doesn’t scale down well to the size it’d have to be for a dog in a logo to listen to it.

Good thing you’re a human being and not a fictional advertising icon. You’re free to tear yourself away from that ear-horn and experience the RCA Lyra’s 20Gb hard drive and backlit multi-line display yourself. Listen to full albums, playlists, selected cuts, or random selections from your personal Hot 5,000 Countdown. And the Lyra includes the de rigeur USB 2.0 connection for fast transfer of files and all that bidness. Maybe RCA isn’t the brand it used to be, but hey, at least you don’t have to turn a crank anymore.
