Hardly any memory - too outdated for new PCs.......2004-11-24
Compared to other mp3 players, this is a piece of crap. Yes, it works, but it only holds about 30 songs, and when you go on a long run, it loops! How annoying. I ran a half marathon with this and heard all the songs 3 times!
Also when we bought a new PC, it wouldn't connect because it's so old.
Piece of Crap, Don't Bother, Seriously.......2004-10-01
This item is a pure piece of crap! First of all it does not work well with WinXP. Had to find out the hard way it would only find the driver need if you have Win 2000 or 98. The frustration of trying to install the music was hardly worth it so that you can only download about 14 songs! If you have Win 2000 or 98 and want something that will only last you a couple of months, this is the product for you. Tried to contact Phillips, they act is if they didn't even realize they made this product. If you need a serious piece of equipment PLEASE DO NOT GO WITH PHILLIPS! Consider yourself warned, do not become a victim. I will never purchase another Phillips item again! I would give it zero stars, but hey i had to put something.
I've bought 5 of these!! they go KAPOOT on you!!.......2004-09-28
Okay at first loved this even purchased the one with more memory 128 and the little window, however after some time they just up and die on you!! in fact I have 4 of these sitting in my car at this very minute that have all just died???? I'm going to get a box and send them all out to Phillips because this was ridiculous. I would recommend doing some major investigating for all the MP 3 players out there I have had my collection for about 2 years now. The arm band is handy, they are small enough not to get in your way, it holds enough music for a hour work out, down loading the music is fairly simple once you get the hang of it, but sometimes (it may just be my computer) the computer doesn't recognize that is it there.
Oh yea and the rubber buttons can become a challenge to press down on you end ruining the face of the player because sometimes you'll have to use your finger nails which eventually cuts into the rubber.

A bit "iffy" but perfect for running/cycling.......2004-09-23
I bought this about a month ago for $50 since it was a pain to go for a run with a CD player in my hand.
INSTALLATION - Although it was a bit tricky to get it installed in WinXP (just download the drivers from the website and point to those manually for install - don't do auto), I was able to access the flash memory just fine. It has, however, caused sudden reboots on my PC soon after I transfer files to it so I usually reboot myself to avoid any problems.
ACCESORIES - The arm strap was the big selling point for me since I'd have nothing to carry. It comes with good headphones that don't fall off while running. I don't use the remote part since I mind as well just press the buttons on the player strapped to my arm. I don't like the magnets used to attach the headphone cord to our clothing, since I am afraid of having the magnets ruin my TV/monitor or something else.
SOUND QUALITY - MP3s encoded at 192 kbps sound great throught this player. Too bad it doesn't support OGG which would allow better sound at smaller sizes.
BATTERY LIFE - Very good. They say 10 hrs.
Overall, this player is not perfect in every sense but for the use/price I am very happy with it.
Horrible experience - do not buy this.......2004-06-29
Simply stated - this product just isn't compatible with XP. Even if it installs correctly it will fail after a period of the player sitting idle or the player batteries running down.
Technical support is a joke, they have a "customer is always wrong attitude" if you can reach them.
This thing may, or may not, work for you but I don't recommend taking the risk.

DVI screw broke off in my video card.......2007-05-24
After 2 months of normal use, the screw broke and it took a lock wrench to get out. Hopefully amazon will arrange an exchange and I hope this is the only time such a thing has happened.
Again - I'm not kidding. There was no abuse or pulling of the cable. I've screwed it in and out twice to move the unit. Third time, it popped off.Monster Cable HDMI 400 DVI-2M High-Definition Video Interconnect 2 Meters
great cable, but overpriced.......2007-03-19
Great cable quality; the dvi connection fits snug and the screws aren't flimsy as with other cables.
Would get 5 but Monster's suggested retail price is INSANELY overpriced!
I don't have this cable either .......2007-03-18
I originally wrote this as a comment below, but you won't get to read it unless you go digging, so i am placing it here instead.
I'll shorten the read for you and conclude that digital transmission media can have different results depending on cable quality, and that it is very possible that you can notice a difference purchasing a monster cable over a cheap one.
The guy below, and the other guy whaling on about digital signals being digital signals only are so wrong its not funny. The guy that mentioned the analog waveforms is absolutely correct.
Digital transmissions through cables like this, or fibre optics or even digital tv through the air, use analog waveforms !
How can you say that this cable sends 1's and 0's and thats it ? How do you send a '1' through a cable ?
Pick one end up and shout "one !!!!!" down the cable ? Of course not ! You need to send it via an electrical signal, which means you need to send some voltage levels. How you do this can vary. Any electric signal, including square waves, the wave most commonly thought of "digital" is still an analog waveform ! A digital pulse is in fact made up of many many analog harmonics that add together to form a square pulse. If you look at the spectrum is covers quite a range of frequencies and the term frequency here is not referring to the same "frequency" of your ones and zeros.
The devices that use these digital cables, like many other digital transmissions, encode the digital sequence onto some sort of other signal. One thing of paticular interest is the fact that the timing signal is also encoded in the signal.
The fact that the timing signal is there as well, is where half the problems come from ! In digital Audio in particular, there is an effect called digital jitter. This is where the timing signal travelling through your cable does not reach the other end perfectly, and hence the timing of the processor at the other end, which relies on the timing signal being sent through the medium, can easliy be wrong. This can happen because of hi and low pass filtering effects through your cable, which makes the point where your digital " 1's and 0's" change, harder to distinguish and be less precise.
HDMI and DVI and all thouse digital video sources have a timing signal in there as well.
What about impedence matching in cables, which causes reflections which can make jitter worse ?
What about digital television, do you really think "1'a and 0's" are just flying through the air randomly ? How does your set top box distinguish between different channels ? Why does it find these digital channels at certain "frequencies" on the same frequency as your normal television ? Because your digital tv is encoded onto an analogue waveform and taken back out at the recievers end !
If you don't believe me, do some reading. Look up things like quadrature phase modulation or digital jitter and you'll find that digital systems are in no way as simple as you claim them to be !
If you want to declare that digital signals "are 1's and 0's only - nothing more to discuss" then your statement serves no more then to point out that you have absolutely no idea what your talking about.
Monster cables are built to lessen the problems that digital systems can suffer from. You may or may not notice not, but from what i have experienced with people listeing to the difference between cheap digital cables and monster ones, is that 3 out 4 people claim to hear a difference.
By all means, I think monster cables are a little overpriced, but without a shadow of a doubt - cables are not cables - digital or not.
In the words of the head of engineering, where i did my first degree in electronics "digital is ultimately analog anyway........................"
HMDI to DVI-dDVI-D CABLES.......2007-02-09
I haven't had the opportunity to use these cables. My electronics are Denon high-end, and be warned, they will not work with these cables (HDMI to DVI-D)
Monster Cable is misleading--research before making a purchase.......2007-01-17
First of all the cable is very difficult to install, it's rigid and not flexible.
After I connected my cable box and my LCD HDTV with this Monster Cable HDMI, my service provider (Time Warner Cable) told me that they don't support HDMI, I should use the component cable that comes with the cable box. Well I already opend the box and it's too late to return.
Every now and then I get a message on my TV saying: "YOU CAN NOT USE HDMI CALE, PLEASE USE THE COMPONENT CABLE TO WATCH TV." I had to turn my TV off and on to get rid of that screen.
Some HD channels' volumes are very low, I have to turn to the loudest in order to listen. Has it anything to do with the cable? Time Warner won't care.
The sales guys from Circuit City said it's must to get bla bla bla in order to watch best High Definition channels, this HDMI cable is one of the recommendations. I'm too naive to trust them.
I should have researched more before making a purchase. I don't like the cable at all, sooner it'll destroy either port--the cable or the TV.
