Customer Reviews
Everything I wanted.
I have been on the fence for a long time, not wanting to pay too much, but wanted color screens and photo capability.
Pros
I can fit it in a pocket or purse easily.
Music transferred smoothly.
Great FM radio reception.
Very nice design, and user friendly
Cons
It does require a computer to charge. So not ideal for travel use.
I did have a few problems installing software.
If the Converter does not install, close everything then open the disk files and open the Converter folder and use the installation file from that. I think the regular set-up tries to do too much at a time.
stay away
I cant believe how stupid the design is for this player- you cannot create and organise your music into custom folders- its just lumps all the tracks together, and then gives you the option to sort by album, artist and genre, as found on the individual tracks of the mp3. so if your tracks dont have that info, you are pretty much stuck with a huge mess. This feature or lack of a feature is a deal breaker- Im definitely returning this product right away.
One of the frequently asked questions is "my music isnt playing in the correct order"- do you know what their answer is- prefix all your tracks with 001, 002, 003 etc- COME ON!!!! you cant be serious????
the software has an update facility, but it doesnt matter what you do, the software cannot pick up your player- I mean you are transferring files, and the brilliant piece of software tells you that no devices are connected.
Good luck if you hope to get any support from philips, they are completely incompetent- they dont answer your emails and the site bombs out all the time.
The player can only be charged via the USB port of your pc, so if you are going camping or somewhere where there is no access to a pc you can only listen for the 8 hours or however long your battery lasts, unless you purchase a separate USB charger.
apart from that, its good looking, small, the screen quality is pretty good, the sound is good, it has a radio, and does support videos-although it only supports WMA video files that need to be converted to its own format with a little utility program found on the installation cd.
works with Mac, but not with iTunes
In order to use with a Macintosh computer running OS X, copy your mp3 files to folders on the Desktop (one folder per album or playlist). Then copy the folders to the Philips, which upon connecting to the USB port will appear as a drive on the Desktop. The Philips will keep the files in each folder separate. It appears that this mp3 player is not recognized by iTunes. Don't bother removing the files already present on the Philips, they are re-installed by the device if deleted. In general: it sounds good; it's small, light, and relatively inexpensive.
