It’s a cool gadget to have when u plug it up to an iPod. The bass hits really hard like a pair of skull candies for all of your friends to share.

Great idea. I have two of the of the 256KB units and they both work well.

Cons:

No Resume function

No Fast Forward/Rewind

Limited memory

I purchased 2 of these units. First the 256mb that seemed to worked fine, then exchanged it for the 512mb. The first 512 unit would not start, so I exchanged it for 2nd 512mb unit. All was well for the 1st week. After that the unit froze up and would not start. I sent the unit directly with my complaints to the the president of Phillips in July of 2006. No response, a follow up letter was sent in September and again no response. This player is a good idea but does not work. That explaines why it was lifted from the market. The worst rpart is the company that produces it will not even remotly stand behind their product.

I would not recommend any one purchase this or any other Phillips products, since they DO NOT stand behind what they sell.

I love it, Why did they stop making it?????

Only thing now is why it froze on me after 2 years of everyday use. It shows the songlist on the computer but not on the MP3. Broken heart

It is great. I use it everyday as alarm radio and as portable speaker when traveling.

The only problem is that you have to use special software to load your mp3s. And the one Philips gives sucks. Instead you can use shoqBox Baddy or Pandora’s shoqBox.

Incredible sound quality, why anyone would want to wear headphones I will never know. The Musicmatch softwear is junk though, worst I’ve ever used.

I read a few negative reviews but decided to purchase one anyway. It’s fantastic! Paid only $40 bucks at Sams Club. I use it to play music stored on my PC and also download podcasts from Itunes.

This gadget is right on the money, except for one flaw. You must use MusicMatch Jukebox. Quite possibly the most counterintuitive piece of junk player ever created. MusicMatch seem destined to sabotage any device you try and sync with it. Hopefully version 2.x will have a better software pairing.

Since there's not really any other product like it, it's the best/worst in it's category.

It's unfortunate that you must use the software that's included. Some of the menu onboard is cumbersome and doesn't make sense.

The Audio is definitely good enough.

Hope it's a better product in round two. Good first try.
