You might be better off buying a MP3 player that handles CDRs instead of
buying a Rio or one of the other types. They're a bit cheaper, they
can handle 650 MB of MP3s at a time and regular CDs as well and they're
basically just as portable.
The only one that has any support that I'm aware of is the Nomad II.
You can find a project on SourceForge:

I bought this one, and I'm pretty happy with it:
