Easy to use but some serious flaws.......2005-11-12
This is my 2nd Mp3 player. My first is a San Disk Mp3 Companion which worked fine but has some of the same problems as this one. First this unit does sound good and the addition of the FM tuner and the Voice recorder is a nice touch. If you buy this for Mp3 listening, you need to realize there are limitations. My biggest problem is getting a playlist to work or even get an album to play in proper order. Here is an example of the order I have saved in Windows:
Black Sabbath - 01 - Turn Up the Night
Black Sabbath - 02 - VooDoo
Black Sabbath - 03 - Sign of the Southern Cross
Black Sabbath - 04 - E5150
Black Sabbath - 05 - The Mob Rules
Black Sabbath - 06 - Country Girl
Black Sabbath - 07 - Falling of the Edge of the World
Black Sabbath - 08 - Slipping Away
Black Sabbath - 09 - Over and Over
After syncing with the Philips Rush here is the order it plays:
6- Country Girl
5- The Mob Rules
9- Over and Over
7- Falling of the Edge of the World
1- Turn Up the Night
2- VooDoo
3- Sign of the Southern Cross
4- E5150
8- Slipping Away
The limitations are frustrating and Philips customer service is a joke. I talked to 5 different people last weekend all giving me dead end solutions. Some reps were giving info that was contradicting other reps. One said this unit doesn't support playlists, yet the product manual decribes a step by step process (that doesn't work at all by the way)to create a playlist under Music Match software. The most laughable was a rep said keep checking on their website for firmware upgrades, since they are always coming out with new updates. Last upgrade was August 2004!!! Over a year ago!!! Looks like they aborted this baby...
Extremely inconvenient & horrible!!!.......2005-10-25
I had no problem getting songs on this player. Just used drag & drop in Windows Explorer. I never even installed the software they included. It even shows the extra memory as a separate drive, so it was no problem to divide the music up.
My problems with this...
#1 In Mp3 mode, it eats up the battery fast. I go through a battery in one day. Gets expensive fast.
#2 The battery will show 2/3 charge left, but the player will just stop. It won't restart without a new battery.
#3 The main button to go forward, back, change radio stations etc is extremely unresponsive. You have to hit the button 2 or more times to get it to do what you want. Try doing this on a treadmill!
I wasted over $100 on this and am now looking at other, better MP3 players. Don't waste your money.
Surprising performance.......2005-04-24
This unit has surprisingly good features for the discounted price that I paid (sub-$100). Decent audio, light weight, acceptable supplied earbuds, and handy neckstrap + armband made a good package. Pluses are that it can be used to hold data files as well as mp3 as a mass storage device. Also, the FM tuner is pretty good.
128 MB SD card limitation DOES NOT apply on my unit, however it is not explained how to make it function with larger cards. Simply hold the center button down until the unit powers up! For the supplied 128MB card it only takes a couple of seconds, but, for a 1GB card, it takes up to 8 seconds or so, but it will work if you are patient. My guess is that the player has to build a database of files on the card before powering up completely, and the processor is a little slow. 1.128 GB of storage gives a lot of files to listen to during the day.
Cons are that the batteries do not last more than about 10 hours if it includes time consumed by much moving of data to/from the unit with the USB transfer. Also, the latch that keeps the back cover on does not seem to hold too tightly, but I have not had a problem with it, yet.
Durable, uncomplicated.......2005-02-22
Good, durable MP3 player. Center button is easy to use, makes things very simple to move through. Nice display as well. Great for those workouts.
I do not like this one at all.......2005-02-17
I had this music player before, and I have to admit, it's pathetic. The "256MB" it supposedly has on the player is only 128MB. The reason I do not like it is because it had erased all of my music when I didn't even do anything to it.

Who Would Have Thunk It?.......2007-11-29
Who would have thought a clock like this would be so much fun? It is easy to incorporate into most color schemes and it is definitely a conversation piece. It is continuously fascinating to look at. With so many ways to program there are many different greetings and messages it will display. Loads of fun.
