Great Player4
Great device and easy to use. Mine came charged with a tutorial loaded in the video file. The guy on the video walks you through all the functions of this player. It comes with a program to convert videos, a program to link your device with music through Rhapsody. The sound is great and the videos look great, and of course, you can't beat the price!

Ignore negative reviews and buy this player!!! 5
Bought this player nearly a year ago, and it has been worth every penny.

On the upside, the fit, finish, feel, and build quality are outstanding. It is very easy to use and has all the features you need in an mp3/video player.

Ignore the dummy reviewer who says "sound quality is not good." I am in the audio/video/media field and use this player every day. As a flash player, it simply plays what you put into it. If the sound quality is bad, check the bitrate in the rip settings of your windows media player(or whatever media software you use) and raise it, or try some different headphones. I run mine with high bitrate files and nice earbuds, or line directly into a stereo or PA system, and the sound quality is amazing.

This player also integrates seamlessly with Napster, which was a big plus for me. Using Napster to go, I can transfer unlimited files and playlists without paying per track.

It also comes with a nice fitting, slim leather case.

On the downside, the supplied Phillips earbuds, while looking nice, were uncomfortable for my ears and wouldn't stay in, even while being completely still. My pair of Coby buds that came with a $20 player are actually preferred to the Phillips buds. No big deal for me, really. I didn't buy it for the headphones.

Also, when viewing pictures the response seems to be a little slow. But since I primarily use mine for playing mp3s, this is not an issue. There is no lag time with mp3s.

All in all, for around $100, in my opinion, you can't go wrong with this player. It also looks really cool and gets attention whenever I pull it out. Enjoy!

love it BUT4
I wanna say thanks to Daniel Z. Richardson from fort worth texas. His review was really helpful and was partly why i bought the Phillips Phillips SA61. The music sounds very clear through the built in speakers, just as it would through headphones. It's sleek, easy to use, and has a nice big screen =]

However the other part i bought it was because i thought it had an SD slot (my fault should have read the description and details thoroughly) because it said this player was most "Frequently Bought Together" with a SabDisk 2GB SD Memory Card, thank god i decided to wait and see if the player actually had a sd slot.

8GB just isn't enough space to put music AND videos on it. Phillips DOES have a 16GB player but the buttons are weird and they shrunk the screen down to 2 inches, what the heck? Anyways, hopefully they'll make a 16GB or higher version of this model.

SCREW ipod, this WAAAY better! =]
